I have downloaded an audio track to Windows Media player
and inserted it in a standard Powerpoint presentation. I
would like to email this presenation with the CD track as
a music bed. When I email the sound track will not play
at the receivers end but always plays at my sender end.

Can anyone assist? Thankyou.

I probably should have covered CD tracks specifically in that
information. BC, you'll need to "rip" the sound file from the CD to
create a sound file which can be emailed. In other words, you need to
create something like an MP3 of the CD audio track.

Also, be aware of copyright laws if you do this.

Hello,

| How do I embed a sound file (wma file) to play throughout the entire
presentation and not just one slide?

You cannot embed any other sound format except *.WAV files. Other media
types (such as *.WMA) will be linked. However you can still get a linked
*.WMA to play throughout entire presentation. By default an inserted
(linked or embedded) sound will play for the current slide only. To get a
sound to play for more than the current slide you have to adjust the
animation settings for the sound.

A very cool option in PowerPoint 97 is the Custom Soundtrack add-in. The
PowerPoint Custom Soundtrack Add-in allows you to add
electronically-generated background music to your slide shows. You can
install this add-in from the following folder on the Office 97 compact
disc:

<drive>:\ValuPack\MusicTrk

If you have installed this add-in with PowerPoint 97 and have then upgraded
to PPT 2000 or PPT 2002 you can continue to use the add-in by using the
instructions in the following Microsoft Knowledge Base articles:

If you (or anyone else reading this message) have suggestions as to how
PowerPoint might change it's features for playing "background" sound, don't
forget to send your feedback (in YOUR OWN WORDS, please) to Microsoft at:

http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp

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.

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions)
