Sound Library Questions
When recording sound in PowerPoint, a sound a menu box
comes up. You name the sound and record it. Then when you select OK and close the box, the sound automatically goes into the sound library under the name you give it, or it is labeled as "recorded sound" if you forget to give it a name (which I have done). Also automatically, a sound icon (speaker) appears on the page in PowerPoint that you have recorded the sound. You can drag the icon anywhere you want on the page. Something I have not tried to delete the sound from the library is to delete the sound icon directly on the page with a right click and then look to see if it is deleted in the sound library too, or to delete the file with the whole book or project of slides to see if the sounds then delete from the sound library. When I use the Microsoft help menu, and look for a solution, the only one given is to right click on the sound icon in the individual slides. My goal is to keep the book/presentation on file without cluttering up the PowerPoint Sound Library because even in one book/presentation, if you record sounds/speech on each page, it makes for a lot of additions to the sound library. Since I would like to do many books/presentations the question becomes must a sound be in the PowerPoint Library to open a file/book with recorded speech/sound and play it....is it a part of the PowerPoint Program that I just have to live with? Will sounds recorded always be a permanent part of the sound library? If not how can recorded sounds be deleted? |

Sound Library Questions
I don't know the answers to your questions off the top of my head, Al, and
it seems probably others don't, either, or you'd already have an answer by now. Trial and error is probably the only way to figure this one out, and so I might have a look at it if I have some extra time in the next few days. Which version of PPT are you using? -- Echo [MS PPT MVP] http://www.echosvoice.com "Al Stearns" wrote in message ... When recording sound in PowerPoint, a sound a menu box comes up.
