video. Can I do that?

Yes...in Timeline view...just drag one or more copies
of the clip that includes the audio you wish to use to
the 'Audio/Music' track and right click/mute the Audio
track.
Be sure to drag the clip all the way to the left on the
Audio/Music track or you may have dead air at the
beginning.

You're welcome.
Here's a little more info just for future reference:
In Windows Movie Maker....
To save only the audio track of a video clip...
drag the video to the "Audio/Music" track.
Then go to...File / Save Movie File / ect...ect......
This will result in a .wma audio file. Be sure
to drag the clip all the way to the left on the
timeline or you will have dead air at the
beginning.

John - this worked like a charm! My question goes one step further...John Inzer said:
How can I cut back and forth between video clips, with the audio from one of
those clips running throughout, and maintain the video timing? How can I
sync up the video to the audio that's already in the timeline?

I'm not sure I can offer a full explanation for
this task but I will try to offer some ideas.
In timeline view drag the main movie clip to
the Video track and also drag another copy
of the same clip to the Audio/Music track and
drag it all the way to the left.
Right click/mute the Audio track.
Split the Video track where you wish to insert
additional clips and be sure the portion you
remove is equal in duration to the new cilp you
insert.
Maybe the following tutorials will be useful:
"Splitting A Clip In MM2.1"
Drag the video/audio clip to the
Timeline.
Play the video/audio by clicking the
"Play" button under the view screen.
You will see the Playback Indicator
(vertical line) advancing across the
timeline.
Click the "Pause" button at the point
where you wish to trim and type...
Ctrl+L or click the "Split" button at the
bottom of the view screen.
(you can also make adjustments by
dragging the Playback Indicator)
Make as many splits as you want and
remove the unwanted clips by right
click / delete.
And...Movie Maker 2.1 only displays every
other frame. In order to see all frames, the
following info from PapaJohn may be useful:
===
Movie Maker 2 shows you every-other-frame
when doing project editing. MM1 and Movie
Maker in Vista show you each frame.
It's usually not a problem when skipping over
the in-between frames, but sometimes you
notice a flickering frame in a clip that is a 'stray',
and you can't see or cut it out.
If you apply the Slow - Down - Half video effect
to a clip in the timeline, you are then seeing
each frame rather than every other one. You
can see the problem frame and split it out.
Then remove the effect from the clip to return
it to normal.
