Re: Powerpoint music problem

If there is no MP3 file coming with your presentation, then it is a wav file,
and it is embedded in the presentation. There are utility programs out there
that will change the header information in the MP3 file into thinking that it is
a wav file and this will allow you to insert the music into your presentation
check it out here http://www.rdpslides.com/pptfaq/FAQ00155.htm

Thank you for the reply. I guess I knew that sending the MP3 file as
well as the show would work but I'm wondering how, when people send me a
show, there is no extra mp3 file sent along with it. Just click on the
*.pps link in the email message and away it goes... music and all. And
the file size isn't large at all either. That's what I'd really like to
be able to do. I keep thinking there's something I'm missing
here...probably some simple step I'm not getting... at least that's what
I was hoping. It's a puzzle. Everything I've read seems to suggest that
what I've done should work but no such luck.

Thanks again for your reply... I may have to do it the way you
recommend. But perhaps someone else has another idea... ???
