I am trying to email a ppt presentation that has a wav file in it. When I email it doesn't take the music along. I went through all of the settings and they appear to be correct over 100 KB etc. The wav is in the same folder as the ppt file. What am I doing wrong. I have to send to someone ASAP
 
How large is the WAV file and what do you have the size limit set to? If
the file exceeds the limit, it will not be embedded in the presentation and
must be sent separately along with the presentation.

Hello,

It sounds like your sound files are linked (not embedded). PowerPoint will
only embed *.WAV media files that were less than the size indicated in the
General tab of the Tools -> Options dialog at the time the sound is
inserted. Other types of sounds and movies will always be linked.
PowerPoint does not include supporting (or linked) content for a
presentation when you send a presentation via e-mail.

There are a variety of workarounds including:

* Converting your sound files to *.WAV format and reinserting them.
* Increasing the size setting in the Options dialog and reinserting your
*.WAV files.
* Reducing the size of your *.WAV files and then reinserting them.
* Pack and Go (or Package for CD) to create a "portable" set of files to
send (not using the Send command in PowerPoint).
* Saving as HTML and posting to a location e-mail recipients can access and
then just sending them the address of the web page for the presentation.
* Saving as MHTML (Single File Web Page) and sending the resulting file in
e-mail.

Of course, If you (or anyone else reading this message) feel strongly that
the "Send to ->Mail Recipient" command should include option(s) which make
it possible for recipients to see or receive the supporting/linked content,
don't forget to send your feedback (in YOUR OWN WORDS, please) to Microsoft
at:

As with all product suggestions, it's important that you not just state
your wish but also WHY it is important to you that your product suggestion
be implemented by Microsoft. Microsoft receives thousands of product
suggestions every day and we read each one but, in any given product
development cycle, there are only sufficient resources to address the ones
that are most important to our customers so take the extra time to state
your case as clearly and completely as possible. Each submission should be
a single suggestion (not a list of suggestions).
