Recording Narration

[Jeffrey Gordon]

Hi.

I'm using Office 2008 for the Mac.

I've been creating a series of PowerPoints with narrations. Until
today, everything has been great. I've been recording the narrations,
using the linked narration method... and it's been keeping track of the
slide timings, too.

As of today, however, after nothing else has changed, my audio recording
seems to get cut off midsentence. I don't get notice of it during the
recording... I only find out when I go to play it back and see that the
audio file is smaller and that the slide jumps to the next slide
midsentence. It's like it stopped recording midway through the speaking.

Any thoughts on what's happened?

I'm using a Logitech headset with microphone. It seems to work
properly, I don't see any other issues.

HELP!

Thanks!

~Jeff

Update: I thought the problem would've been that I installed iTunes 8 and QuickTime7.5.5 ... but it appears (after spending all day backing those things OUT of my system with the help of an AppleStore Genius), that it's not those apps.

Now on phone with Microsoft... we'll see if it's something else.

Jeff;

Did you get any answers from Microsoft? I'm having the same problem, but
with Powerpoint 2004. The first few presentations that I narrated were fine;
but the more presentations I narrate the worse the truncating becomes. I
even tried taking long pauses before moving on, but that doesn't work either!
I've embedded and linked, neither works. Even when playing the linked files
through iTunes, it gets cut off. My students are getting frustrated!
