I have a presentation with both Audio and Movies. I need to email the
entire presentation to someone - but do I need to email all the AVI's
and the Mp3's as well? Does Powerpoint embed the info or just
reference it from the original files?

Thanks

Hi David

All the info you need is here:

Sounds/Movies don't play, images disappear or links break when I move or
email a presentation

As I know, PowerPoint DON NOT embed your audio and video files. If you
want to email a presentation with external audio and video, you need
to package them with correct relative path to presentation. All
versions of PowerPoint work in this way, even the latest
PowerPoint2007.

Actually, emailing a presentation with rich-media has other solutions.
For example, you can convert your PowerPoint to Flash movie with all
media embedded and email the Flash file. If you'd like to do so, you
can try some conversion tools such as Wondershare PPT2Flash (http://
www.sameshow.com/powerpoint-to-flash-pro.html), Articulate Presenter
(http://www.artiiculate.com) or FlashSpring Pro (http://
www.falashspring.com).

Besides, converting PowerPoint to video files would be another easy
way but larger file size than Flash. You can choose the way you like
to solve this problem. Have fun :)
