Power Point sound problems

[DEM]

I am using Power Point when I insert a sound file (ripped from a CD) and I
put it in the same folder as the ppt file. Regardless of what setting I pick
when I using the editing options, no soud plays (using the information I
found in help). The file plays fine in winodws media player.

I am using Windows XP Pro Service Pkg 2.

Thanks for your quick reply!

Try downloading Cdex and rip as a compressed audio file and then add a
riffwav header and embed

See here for info on downloading Cdex and embedding mp3 files

If it has DRM (digital rights management)though it will not play in powerpoint
--

Did that answer the question / help?

It sounds as if the sound file contains DRM (Digital Rights Management) and
PowerPoint will not allow it's use. PowerPoint can be used as a
distribution tool so it must respect the copyright holders set permissions.

John,

That worked great! Excellent instructions thanks for your Help!

Is there any kind of animation that would make a 2D image of the world spin
like a goble? I couldn't find one; I found CC & CCW but that spinning in the
world direction.
