I recently upgraded from PP2003 and XP to PP2007 and Vista.
I now find that presentations with embedded .wav sound files will play in
the editing mode in powerpoint 2007, but that in slideshow mode they are
truncated in a weird way.
Specifically, the system seems to cut off the last 1 second of the sound
file, and if it is shorter than 1 second it doesn't play at all.
This problem occurs both for old 2003 presentations open in 2007 and for new
presentations where the sounds are embedded directly in pp 2007.
Curiously, if I save the file in PP2003 mode, and run it on an XP machine
with PP2003, it runs fine.
I am not sure it this is a vista issue or a Office 2007 issue, but it is
definitely frustrating.
