attaching sound files and mailing to someone??

[Steve H]

I made a single page presentation with short voice message to quickly send
to someone. is the only way I can send it with the sound added by using pack
and go? the person I am sending to has PowerPoint. I simply wanted to "save
as" then forward in an email. but the sound isn't included doing it that
way?? pack and go seems a messy way to have to send it to someone. is there
anything I can do?

winXP and Office 2000 thank you for any help.

If the person like you say has PowerPoint, the easiest way would be to put your sound file into the same folder as your presentation before you insert it, then use WinZip, create a self extracting file that includes both your presentation and the sound file, zip it up and attach it to an email and send. I hate PnG also

Have you tried PowerPoint's record narration feature? That gives the option
to embed the narration in the presentation. Or if the sound file is in WAV
format add it as a slide transition sound (which will embed it) or use
Tools, Options to set the size of sounds that'll be embedded rather than
linked way high and add your sound again after deleting the original.
