Re: embedded wav files stop when moved to laptop



If the WAVs are truly embedded, it shouldn't be a problem. Did you change the "link sounds with file size greater than" setting to 50,000 before or after you inserted the WAVs?

Does the laptop have PPT 2007 on it also, or a different version of PPT?

When you moved the folder -- with presentation and WAV files -- to the laptop, where did you save it? If you put it directly on the C: drive, does that make a difference? (So you'd have, like, C:\myfolder and then the PPT and WAVs inside that.)

Good morning! I have a 90+ page PPT in PPT 2007 in which I have embedded 30
- 40 .wav files and have done some fairly sophisticated animation with the
related text for each file. When I moved the presentation to my laptop
(including all of the original .wav files, in the the same directory),
virtually all of them have stoped playing, in slide show or normal views. Is
there an easier way to assure that the .wav files make the trip from desktop
to laptop without having to re-embedd and animate the whole mess all over
again? For example, will saving to the 2007 eqivalent of a .pps do the trick?
