horrible record voice quality in powerpoint 2003

[jjkinz]

Please Help!! I worked all summer long teaching workshops to teachers so they
could use powerpoint this fall. Then my district upgraded to 2003. Now when
my teachers try to use the record voice option, the quality is so poor that
they can't use it and no longer want to use powerpoint. We were using
narration to help our special ed students especially.

We didn't have any problem at all in the earlier versions of powerpoint. I
have checked hardware and worked on other machines and used other
microphones. It is version 2003 that is the issue.

Desperate!

Hi,

First, download service packs and install: Help| Check for updates.

After that, does changing the recording quality help?

Slide Show| Record narration| Change Quality. Set it to something like CD
Quality and see if that helps. By the way, increasing quality will increase
sound file size on your hard drive. Please let us know how you get on.
