Hi there, I'm doing a powerpoint presentation that has to be under 2MB (with music). It's for emailing. I would like to embed the music in the project in order to just email one file. (instead of sending the music separately as a linked file). I have managed to compress my music to 952K, but it's an MP3. I'm told that powerpoint will only embed a .wav file in a presentation and as a wav, it's too big. Can anyone help?

Have you tried "collecting" the files? When you go to "Save As..." in the format pull down menu, there's a "PowerPoint Package" option. That will collect everything PPT needs to run, and you send one file (that will unzip of course).

I believe you can also save it as a movie. I'm not sure what that'll do to your 2MB restriction but it's an option.
