Music in POWER POINT! CS Week is coming up and I need help!!! :o)

[Guest]

Ok I am trying to play Old time Rock and Roll during a presentation that will
be emailed to our CS dept. How can I get it to play when I email it? It works
on my PC but when I do a test email to another person the music does not
play?!?! What am I doing wrong??

You need to either embed the music or send it with the presentation in the
same folder.

As I know, PowerPoint DON NOT embed your audio and video files (only WAV
audio file within 100kb can be embedded). If you want to email a presentation
with external audio and video, you need to package them with correct relative
path to presentation. All versions of PowerPoint work in this way, even the
latest PowerPoint2007.

Actually, emailing a presentation with rich-media has other solutions. For
example, you can convert your PowerPoint to Flash movie with all media
embedded and email the Flash file. If you'd like to do so, you can try some
conversion tools such as Wondershare PPT2Flash (

I hope this can help you
