How do you embed a WMA file onto a Powerpoint?

I'm using the newest version of Powerpoint. I have followed the instructions for increasing the embedded audio file size %26gt; Increase Maximum size to 50MB%26gt; make sure to use a WMA file%26gt; reinsert after making these changes%26gt; but it's still not embedding. For some reason it keeps linking it instead of embedding it.

Any ideas on how to get Powerpoint to embed it?

To embed audio file, you need to follow a couple of steps.

1. First of all, you should make sure that the music file is in WAV format (MP3 file can only be linked, not embedded).

2. By default, the file which is smaller than 100 KB in size would be embedded. If you WAV file is larger than 100KB, you need to change the file size limitation first. It can be changed in the Sound Options group on the contextual menu when you double click the speaker icon on the slide.

well i'm not sure Powerpoint embeds the video, i guess it only links to the location of the WMA file -%26gt; this has the down side that if the file location changed the movie wont play!
Maybe you can try another way which can embed all kinds of sound files.

Converting your PowerPoint presentation to Flash use some third party presentation tools, Wondershare PPT2Flash Std(http://www.sameshow.com/powerpoint-to-fl鈥?/a> for instance. It can help you create Flash-based presentation with all the original effects retained. Of course, all the sound files will be embedded in the presentation. You can send the Flash-based presentation to your friends and different computers.
