Greetings...I have a Power Point presentation that is complete and we are emailing it out around the world. Problem, everyone gets the Power Point slide show, but NO music.

Emailed to myself on the same computer, and it works great. What do I need to do to allow others to get the slide show with the music??

Thank you,

John

a .pps (or in 07, a .ppsx file) and send the .pps/x. Once it is 'packed' into .pps/x format, the music should remain intact.

Is because the music is sitting on your hard drive, but not on theirs.

It's akin to creating a Word document but using non-standard Fonts - when you close then open the document, all the Fonts appear because they're installed on your system. But when a distant recipient attempts to open the document, they just see control codes or nothing at all, because they don't have the fancy typefaces in their Font Library.

In the case of the written word, the easiest way around this is to create and send a .PDF version of the document. The .PDF contains the fonts that are used, which is why it is larger than a Word.doc file. ;)
