When I save a powerpoint with recorded narration as a movie the sound disappears. Is there a setting that I am missing?

Hi,

Yes,

If the sound is a WAV file go to the Preferences. On the General tab
look for the setting that controls whether a sound is linked or
embedded. Raise the number to a higher value than the size of the sound
file.

Thanks for that but the sound is embedded in the powerpoint it is recorded when I start the powerpoint through record narration. Then when I replay the power point the narration plays also.

Hi,

I guess I'm confused by "recorded narration as a movie." If you record
narration, it's a sound represented by a sound icon.

One of the problems with text forums is that it's hard sometimes to
figure out exactly what the other person did.

Did you use PowerPoint to record the narration, or a different program
and then insert the narration?
