So when I send it out I would attach the .pps and the.wmv to my e-mail?
But
when they open the .pps file will the .wmv file open automatically or do
they
have to try and open both at once?? If so how do they coordiinated that?
thanks

It has to accompany the presentation, as wmv files are not embedded

When I include a .wmv (movie clip) to my .pps presentation, it plays
fine
on
my computer but is not attached to my presentation when I send it out.
Does
it have to be converted or something so it is included in my
presentation?
Thanks

Only wav files are embedded. All others are linked. CDEX is a

like
a
WAV file. look here

You wrote:

you
have
set under Tools, Options, General. Else, the file must accompany
the
presentation. I thought it would just by saving it as a pps.

It is a mp3 - how do I convert it to .wav? AND - when I save it
as
a
pps
file will it automatically attach so when I e-mail it to someone
all
they
have to do is click on it and it all plays - pictures & music.
Mine
plays
fine on my computer, but when I send it, they don't get the music
just
the
slides I get them all the time from others and the music AND
slides
play
fine??
Thanks for your help
Greg

My original question:
Question

I can create a slide presentation with background music. It all
plays
fine
on my computer. However when I send it to someone else, the music
isn't
included with the PPS attachment - just the pictures. It has
something
to
do
with embedded or linked - I think. Am I saving it wrong (pps)? I
understand
the problem - the music is only on my computer - how do I package
it
to
be
included in the PPS that I send out as one attachment?
Thanks
