Ann,

You've been caught by linked sounds getting lost. This should help:

Sounds/Movies don't play, images disappear or links break when I move or
email a presentation

Only a WAV file can be embedded into the presentation and emailed, otherwise
you must send the powerpoint and the sound files and the person who receives
them must download the files inorder to make them work.

I just went through this pain but there is a way to taek your presentation
and sound files and pachage them together in a single file that can be sent
to someone and all they have to do is click on a single file and your
presentation will play.

This is a easy way to do this and all the steps are very well explained and
documented for you to follow with screen shots and everything to follow...
