MS Powerpoint File Editing

Hi

PowerPpint presentations have the sound files attached two ways if below ( IIRC of the embedding size ) 100kb they are imbedded in which the below should allow you to extract them, or they will be saved on the PC or on whatever media ( CD, USB ) in a separate folder as PP doesnt embed sounds over 100KB, but links to a file location.


Workaround but a bit of a pain to do or more fiddly than anything, but re-save the presentation as a webpage

File > Save as Webpage

You should now have in the location you saved the file into a HTM/HTML PP file and a Folder with the name of the presentation and the word files attached ( eg, mypowerpointdoc_files ) open this folder up and you should find those sound clips.

 

Hi

I guess your using Office 2003? at the time I will have been using Office XP so the command or way of saving is slightly different.

Try this..... same route to using File > Save as Web Page > this time click the Publish button and a new box will open in this look for File Name and change the .mht to .html > click Publish.

This time you should have a folder as well as a PP HTML icon, I did re-create these steps in Office 2003 to double check steps above.

 

No probs, I actually thought that the steps would have been similar in both versions but alas not, but glad you have the file you need now
