You have to embedd the file, instead of linking. When
you open PPT, go to Tools->Options. You will want to
change the option that says "Link Sound with the file
size greater than ???" You will want to increase this so
the size of the music track is under this number. Then
the musis file will embed itself, not create a link.
Keep in mind, this will dramically increase the size of
the ppt file. Hope this helps
 
Will I have issues if it's a .mid file?

Dear User,
I cannot understand your question . If you mean to say that increasing size
will work with mid files , you are wrong . Only for wav . But you can
convert a wav to mid by using this software and then embed the file into
powerpoint :

Midi files are also linked. If you put the midi file into the same folder as
your presentation before you insert it, and send it along with the email, it
should play at the other end

Ok!... I have converted the .mid file to .wav but the file is 7.5 mb in size.
So, what would I set the "Link Sound with the file size greater than ???"
what would the "???" be? 7500000?

That's got to be the largest midi file I've ever hear of! Something is wrong
here. I would definitely recommend that you consider converting the WAV to an
MP3. You'll be much happier and the file will be much smaller.

However, only WAVs can be embedded, so even if you did set the size limit to
8000 (8MB) your midi won't be embedded. There is nothing wrong with linking.
Just put the music file in the same folder with your presentation. Then you can
link to it. When you need to email the presentation you'll need to send both
files. Use WinZip to zip them to a single compressed file. Mail it and tell
the end user to unzip it and play the presentation.

Great. The largest number you can enter is 50000. Fortunately, that is
approximately 50MB, so you can enter 50000, or you can go with something
smaller like 8000, and that should be good enough for this file. Just
keep in mind that when the file is embedded into your presentation, your
file size will be increased by the 7.5 MB size of the sound file.

The wires in my brain got crossed. Sorry about that. I thought you were trying
to embed a midi file.
