PowerPoint 2003 Not embedding music linking it

[Grumpy]

my Power point program is linking music from my files instead of embedding
it. I have set it not to link music under 5000KBS. It is ignoring this and is
link all my music. how can it fix it.

Grumpy,

Powerpoint will only embed .wav files and not .mp3 files or .wma files.

If you do some jiggery pokery you can fool powerpoint into embedding mp3
files

Take note that only wav format can be embedded. If you are using mp3, you
will need to convert it using audio convertor such as Cdex (
http://cdexos.sourceforge.net ).

Also, make sure that you re-insert the sound files after setting the value
to "Link sounds with file size greater than" to 50000 kb.
