Merge lecture and slides to CD, and still pause?

I have a slideshow on PowerPoint 2000, and it's accompanying lecture is on a
..wav file (35,000 kb). I have the timing on the slides set just the way I
want it and I've used the inserted "sound from file" option to start the
audio (and I changed my "link file larger than..." to 50,000 kb), which I've
then set to play through to the end of the presentation. My goal is to put
this on a CD so that people who missed the lecture will be able to view it on
their computer. I'd like to do this the most efficient way possible, but with
less-than-computer-savvy end-users in mind. Any suggestions? I'm thinking I
have to use the "Pack and go" because they might not have ppt. on the
computer they want to watch this on.

My main concern is that the viewers be able to pause the slideshow and
audio, because it's more than likely that they will be interrupted and I want
everything to remain in sync.

Thanks in advance.
 
Looks like good info. Will it take care of the pausing problem I'm concerned
about?
Thanks for the quick post!

Powerpoint is not that good at sound sync anyway so even if people dont pause
on other computers there may be sync problems with a long presentation.

If you can split the wav file into "one slide chunks" I would insert each
slide's commentary as a transition sound on that slide. You could then allow
people to move back a slide and replay

Did that answer the question / help?

I can probably find places to break it. At least it isn't like music and
continuous. I just wanted to avoid it because I have over 40 slides and it's
a pain to do. Too bad there isn't a way to "squish" the sound to the slides
so that it's all stuck together, but I guess that's a different product.
I appreciate the concrete answer, at least. Thanks for taking the time to
respond.
