I made a .pps slide show and I'm not sure what I did with the music I have. I somehow set it to be a linked object. Right now the slide show only works when I play it from the compute that contains the linked mp3 file path. Is there anyway to insert the song into the slide show without using object linking? Thanks.

This might sound stupid but, ?can you edit the path to where the program goes to look fot the .mp3 and set it to the same where the .ppt is?. Then, of course place the .mp3 in that path.

To Carlos:
That's a good idea - but I don't think it will work if I'm emailing the .pps unless it's to people on a network that have access to the shared file path. I'm going to burn some copies of the slideshow to a CD so that should at least be a temporary fix. I would really like to know if the actual mp3 can be inserted into the slideshow and used as media. Of course I run the risk of making the file size larger than it already is. :-(

The answer is no. MP3 files can not be embedded. You might consider WinZip to mail your files. You can use the executable add-in to install the files where you want.
