Could someone kindly help me figure out how to embed an mp3 in the PP
presentation that I have set to
automatically animate?

Over the past few years, I've received 2 PP presentations that play
automatically with an mp3 running, throughout.
Unfortunately, I don't know the authors, so I have no way to contact them
and ask how they did it.

I've been all over several of the PP pages with FAQs on the Web and I've
tried everything I've found, but
I can't seem to make this work. I figured out how to do it with a
hyperlink, but they were embedded in the
ones I received and I don't want to have to explain how to make the
hyperlink work (same directory, etc)
when I make and send one out. One info page said to install DirectShow as
the media player and I followed
the instructions, but can't *find* DirectShow to continue the instructions.
One nifty tip I picked up was to
instruct that the mp3 play for a large number of slides so that it doesn't
stop dead and exit with the last one.
But...

If the sound was embedded then it would have been a WAV as MP3 files are
always linked. There's a file size limit beyond which even WAVs aren't
embedded (you can set this under Tools>Options>General).
