I have increased the file size threshold to 10,000 KB, and still, when I insert a sound file that only, say, 4 MB, it's not embedding it, it still says it's linked. How to get Power Point 2003 to actually embed my file and make it part of the presentation file?     Was this post helpful to you?         Reply |   Top           Kathy Jacobs 2/21/2006 1:31 PM PST   Answer   No matter what size the file, if it isn't a WAV file, it won't embed. You will need to convert it to a WAV file to embed it. -- Kathryn Jacobs, Microsoft MVP PowerPoint and OneNote Author of Kathy Jacobs on PowerPoint - Available now from Holy Macro!
