I took a class here at UMD where the professor wanted to record a voice track to go with a PowerPoint presentation. What she did was record each slide's narration as its own MP3 (or maybe she recorded it all at once and then split it into chunks, I don't know), then she embedded those MP3 files into the PowerPoint file itself. When students ran the presentation, the recordings would play on the slides. The benefit of this way of doing it is that the recording is effectively indexed to the slides - if a student wants to go back to a previous slide, they automatically go back in the recording too. The downside of doing it this way is that you cannot skip forward or backward within the recording of a slide, you can only go back to the beginning of the slide.
