My STLP students have been working on a PP for an autistic special ed student. Today they added to AIFF files they had taken from a digital sounds CD, put into Sound Jam and converted to .aif files. They had no problem in inserting the files into the slides or playing the sounds when viewed in the presentation but when they tried to save it gave an error
"Microsoft cannot save the embedded object". We then deleted the two aif files we had just inserted and still got the same error when trying to save. The slides also have a recorded sound file of the students voices reading portions of the slides.
Can any one help us. We would like to get the presentation to the specials teacher so the student can start using them.

Try saving the audio files as .avi files. PowerPoint allows .avi files to be
embedded into the presentation. The default is only 100k files can be
embedded, but you can increase this to 50,000k (5 meg) by going to TOOLS >>
OPTIONS >> GENERAL tab >> LINK SOUNDS WITH FILE SIZE GREATER THAN ___.

Troy, do you mean WAV files? AIFF are audio files and only WAV's can be
embedded. Also 50000K = 50MB. <G>

Thanks Sonia, YES I mean .wav files... oops. That's what you get, your brain
goes to mush for a few days after being on a two week speaker presentation
tour.
