No, it's the same. The only difference between a PPS and a PPT is that the
PPS opens in slide show view when you double-click it. PPSX and PPTX are the
2007 versions of PPS and PPT.
You said you understood this:
So I thought you understood about linking and embedding.
The reason you must include the sound and video when you send the
presentation is because sounds and videos are always linked to your PPT
file.
There's one exception: you can embed WAV sound files. But read this first.
http://www.echosvoice.com/gotchas.htm#SoundAdvice (Even though you're using
PPT 2007, the advice is still the same. You'd change your setting on the
Sound Tools Options tab that becomes available once you insert a sound. But
beware -- you can still change "max sound file size (kb)" even though that
setting doesn't actually apply to your sound file type. For example, I
inserted an MP3 file, and that setting's still there. But it only applies
when I've inserted a WAV file. So don't be caught short here.
WAVs are big. There's a way to fool PPT into thinking that MP3s are WAVs so
you can embed them. Instructions are here:

seem to not play reliably on all systems.

Thanks for the reply.
Is it different if the e-mail attachment is a PPS instead of PPT? I sent a
PPS and recipients did not get it. I do get PPS attachments that have
sounds
on them. What is the difference.
It seems to me that to zip a presentation would require recipients to have
the software facility to unzip, which is not practical at all.
Why do I get PPS attachments with its own sound? Now I am confused.

Zip the presentation, the sound file and the video into one folder and
instruct the recipient to save the folder to his/her harddrive and unzip
it.
Although you can double-click and play the PPT file from within the
zipped
folder, the sound and video will not work unless you extract them all to
one
folder on the drive.
Of course, this assumes that you put the sound and video in the same
folder
with your own presentation before you inserted them. This creates what
are
known as "relative links," which help ensure that the linked files play
on
the recipeints' machines as well.

I am aware that if one has background sound and or inserted video in a
PP
2007 presentation, you need to accompany the presentation with the
corresponding sound and video. That is very true if one uses a flash
drive
to
pass the presentation to somebody.
I found the need to send the presentation to friends via e-mail
attachment.
When they received the presentation, they could not hear the sound or
see
the
inserted video within the PP presentation.
What do I need to do to provide the presentation via e-mail attachment
WITH
THE SOUND AND VIDEO?
I have the option to save embedded the fonts but I do not know how I
could
get the sound and video as well.
I will appreciate suggestions.
