new music files will not play in power point

[Guest]

I have added music file to several pps shows with no problem. In trying to
put a new music file in a pps show today I can get the speaker icon but when
I click play nothing happens. I have tried several different tracks and it is
always the same. I can not use the play CDtrack option as I want to send the
finished pps show to some one out of town on a seperate CD.

What type of music file are you trying to insert?

Guessing that youve ripped mp3's and inserted them

They will be linked so maybe the path is too long.

Try putting in a folder with the presentation and inserting again

alternatively

Have a look at our tutorial on embedding mp3's
