Why is a .WAV file NOT automatically playing when I start the PPT
I inserted a .wav file in my powerpoint show and when I go to "view show,"
the animations work but the sound file does not play - either automatically OR on mouse click. The other animations and their "effect options" sounds play fine, but NOT the sound icon. I have checked with our school technician and it is not a hardware problem b/c windows media player works fine. Can you help me? I am a middle school special educator and I teach autistic students. I need to run the Powerpoint I created for my disabled student to interact with. Can you help me? Thank you for any help in ADVANCE! |

Why is a .WAV file NOT automatically playing when I start the PPT
It is always a good idea to mention the version of PowerPoint your using and
how you inserted and the size of the WAV file . Without knowing this it is hard to even guess. Here are a couple to things to try out. As WAV files are the only audio files that get inserted into your PowerPoint presentation you may want to increase the file size limit to the max of 5000kb to accommodate your file. If the file exceeds the max allowed, it is then linked which brings me to the next option which is to put all your sound files into the same folder as your presentation so that if they are linked, they will not exceed the path length (128 characters) from the presentation to the sound file -- Michael Koerner MS MVP - PowerPoint "Teacher" wrote in message ...
