Play CD music in a slideshow without using the CD

[Guest]

I am a first-time user of Power Point 2003. I have created a slideshow, but
I can't figure out how to add music from a CD to the presentation without
having to use the actual CD during the presentation. I want to be able to
copy the show WITH ITS MUSIC to CDs for my preschool parents to enjoy at
home. HELP!

Jen4girls,
You will have to copy (rip) the CD track to your hard drive. Put it in the
same folder as your presentation. Insert it in the presentation using
Insert - Movies and sounds - Sound from file.
Then use 'Package for CD'. You will find it on the File menu.
Here's a tutorial:

Your going to have to rip the music track from your CD using something like
MediaPlayer, then insert the sound file into your presentation before you
put it onto your CD. If content contains some form of DRM (Digital Rights
Management ), you won't be able to use it.

Just be aware that you are probably in violation of copyright laws when you
