Using Powerpoint 2000 I am unable to link slides to MP3 files for sound. This is on a Toshiba laptop, Win98, WMplayer the latest. The same version of powerpoint on a different machine (Dell Desktop) does this fine. Very frustrating. When you go to Insert, the browse windows says "Sound Files" and lists several extentions, but not MP3). On the desktop, it just says "sound files". Any ideas?

Check the version of PowerPoint on both systems again. I know that PowerPoint 2000 will allow you to insert MP3 files, but I PowerPoint 97 does not. As you have pointed out, one machine just says "sound files" (this is what it says in PowerPoint 2000) and the other says "sound files" with some extension listed (this is what it says in PowerPoint 97).
If you're asking for technical help, please be sure to include all your system info, including operating system, model number, and any other specifics related to the problem. Also please exercise your best judgment when posting in the forums--revealing personal information such as your e-mail address, telephone number, and address is not recommended.
