Michael,
How did you remember all those steps! You are something else. There was no
4 bit option so I used 8 bit and it worked perfectly. Thank You most
sincerely. This is a great help.

this is off the top of my head, but it is pretty close to the way that
the tutorial went.

Click the Start button
Click All Programs
Click Accessories
Click Entertainment
Click Windows Sound Recorder
Click File, Open

Select the wav file you want to edit.

Click On properties and look under Audio Format and it will indicate
the current file setting. In the Choose From drop down window select
Playback Formats
Click Convert Now leave the format at the default PCM the select an
attribute around the 11.025 KHZ, 4bit stereo and select OK. Listen to
you conversion and if it sounds okay, save your file with a new filename
and then insert it into your presentation.

Michael,
If you do ever find that tutorial I would like to see it. Meanwhile, how
would I "resample" as you suggested. I am not sufficiently versed in
such techniques. TIA

Stan;

You may want to consider resampling your wav file using Windows Sound
Recorder (sndrec32.exe). There used to be a tutorial around explaining
the steps and recommended settings. I just can't put my hands on it
right now.

To email a PowerPoint slide show with music only wav files may be used
and when I convert an mp3 to wav it usually is about 25mb in size.
While I can get PowerPoint to accept a wav file up to 50mb, my server
won't accept that large a file.

When I receive a PowerPoint show with music the music is always less
than 500kb so there is some way to create a small wav file.

When I compress a 25mb wav in XP it ends up at about 23mb which is
still too big. Do you know how I can get it down to an acceptable
size?
