Where the sound track disappeared?

[janet-m]

When you build a PPS display and go to "other sound", it allows you to draw
from your stock of .Wavs or other sound tracks and it attaches them to your
display.

A WAV file has certain digital weight and if this file is not present on
your machine, the sound will not play. That is common sense.

But if someone send you a .PPS display with a WAV file, it does playback
despite the fact that that file is NOT on your computer.

I say this because:

1) If you dare, for test purposes, change from one sound to another for a
moment, you come back to the original WAV file that the creator put there,
but it is not there any more. It is gone, Power point eliminated that line
that was the original Wav file.

2) But if power point eliminated the line with the name of the original
Wav file, AND YOU CAN NOT FIND IT ANYWHERE ON YOUR MACHINE, it means that it
never been on your machine.

3) And if it never been on your machine then how on earth it did playback
when it arrived to your machine in the first time?

Does anyone know something about this one?

Thanks
Janet

Wav files by default are embedded into your presentation, and therefore travel with the presentation. Which is why you cannot find it on your system

Sounds that are added in the way you just described will always be
embedded in
the PPT file.

Once you change to a different sound AND SAVE THE PRESENTATION, PPT
removes the
sound from the file since it's no longer needed.

The sound is gone because you changed the PPT file in a way that deleted
the
sound, not because it was never on your computer in the first place.
