Well, it was a kick in the teeth to learn that sounds are only linked instead of being imbedded in the presentation, but at least that'll keep the size down. My question, though, is whether the links use absolute or relative paths.
It's a simple job to test this, of course - and the answer appears to be relative.
I put together a presentation that's for distribution via DVD, and of course I have no idea in advance what drive letter any given recipient will have. I have no problem with putting the sound files on the disk, but need to know what type of pathing is being used. If it's relative, I'm already in good shape; if it's absolute, then I'm hosed.This kinda makes it impossible to distribute a slide show electronically, as well, if you want sound with it.
Surely all you need to do is to put your audio file in the same folder as your presentation when you insert it, and to require your correspondents to have both files in the same folder - wherever that might be - before attempting to use them?
I trust this helps.
