How can i add a sound to alert me of my incoming emails?

A question about sound files in Power Point?

• When I learned PPT i was taught to add a sound file that would play throughout the whole presentation. I thought that this then became an integral part of the presentation and didnt have to be treated differently. I wouldnt know how to send a sound file on its own. And if I did, how would it link up and play at the right time in the presentation? It plays like a dream on my pc but only the pics arrived when the email was sent. I didnt learn how to send a presentation with sound ( an outside sound, not the ppt options like drumrolls etc.) as an email. Can it b done or am I wasting my time? If u can do it will u tell me how, step by step, please? I use Yahoo mail for my emails and not Outlook express. Could the fault be here? Thanks in advance for all your help with my questions!

• Answer:

  You have to send the sound too. Look for the sound where it was originally stored and send it to whoeveryou want to have the presentation with sound. To make it easier, always store the sounds in the same folder as the presentation.
