Problem inserting a .wav file into PPT presentation

[Jenns]

Hello,
The secretary in my group creates a Powerpoint presentation monthly and sends it via email to everyone in our department. She has "normal" microsoft office sounds embeded into the presentations which we all can hear when we open the presentation in email. There is one sound however that she has downloaded from the internet as a .wav file that only works when the presentation is opened on her PC.

I know nothing about Powerpoint. Do the sounds go along attached to the presentation? If no, do the regular microsoft sounds play becuase those sounds are standard on everyone's PC?

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get an "external" .wav file to play?

Thanks for any ideas.

Thanks!
Jenn

Just a couple of quick thoughts that might be worth a whirl...

1. open the file, in sound recorder for example, and use a save as to make a new version that might be more compatible.

2. try using Media Player to play the file ... click Object on the Insert menu, and then click Media Clip.

Apols for the rush ...
