Uploading a presentation with midi file for class project.

I have read about e-mailing presentations with midis, but my situation is a bit different

I take an internet course, and we have to upload our presentation and attach it to our post for a class project. I downloaded a midi off the Internet, and I created a folder for my presentation and put a copy of the midi in that folder. Then I added the music to my presentation

Of course it works fine on my computer, but if I e-mail it, it appears as though I have to instruct the viewer to also download the song first

How can I upload the entire presentation onto a public web board as a package (I don't have pack and go on my version)

If I have to convert it to a *wav file, how do I do that

Please help. This project is due in 24 hrs. Thank you.
 
Robin, I feel your pain -- I wanted to do this very thing not long ago. Midi
files cannot be embedded and PowerPoint can only find them on local or
network drives, not from an Internet URL.

You can convert from MIDI to WAV -- check out WAVMaker at
http://www.polyhedric.com/software/wavmaker/index.html. But just know that
you'll get hammered in filesize, as the WAV file might be exponentially
larger.

Good luck -- let us know how it goes...

It would help to know which version you *do* have ;-)

If you have PowerPoint 2002 (XP) or later, Try File, Save As and choose Web Archive as
the choice in "Save as type".

If you have PPT 2002 or earlier, you can probably just re-run Setup and install Pack
and Go.

Or zip both your PPT and and needed linked files into a single ZIP archive and send
that. By default, it'll all unzip into the same folder at the other end and you should
be good to go. Just make sure that the recipient doesn't try to run the PPT file from
within WinZIP.
