Powerpoint 2007 - insert a sound

M

meyersroman

I am trying to insert a sound file - .wav into my presentation. It is
actually a song; however it will not play.

I tried to follow the help menu and it suggested the following:
You want to open the Sound Options dialog box. Click the sound, and then
under Sound Tools, on the Options tab, in the Sound Options group, click the
Dialog Box Launcher .

However, it does not tell you what to do from there. Any suggestions?

Before worrying about that, I would put the PPT file in a folder directly on
the harddrive -- like C:\test. Put the WAV in there, too, then insert the
WAV into the presentation. This tests whether the issue is simply a path
length issue.
