Warren,
You might want to check that you saved the powerpoint presentation as a
package, otherwise the sounds etc would not automatically be included
in the file and this would explain why your bro can't get all the
sounds to play. From the powerpoint help file: (in the Help menu in
powerpoint):
If you plan to share the presentation with others, you may want to save
it as a PowerPoint Package. When you save a Package, PowerPoint
automatically gathers all of the linked files (images, sounds, movies,
and so on) that your presentation uses into one folder. This makes your
presentation portable — easy to copy, store on compact disc, send, and
share.
The instructions on how to save as a package were also in the help file:
Save a presentation as a PowerPoint Package, including all linked files
1. Open the presentation you want to save as a PowerPoint Package.
2. On the File menu, click Save As.
3. On the Format pop-up menu, click PowerPoint Package.
4. In the Save As box, type a name for the new folder you want to store
the presentation and linked files in.
5. Click Save.
Tips
• To save the Package in a different location, use the column browser
to locate the folder you want.
If the column browser is hidden, click the arrow show column browser
next to the Where pop-up menu.
To save the Package folder in a new folder, click New Folder.
• If you want to save to a network server, but you don’t see it listed
in the column browser, you may need to connect to it.
Hope this helps. Alternatively, you may also need to check your sounds
are not mac sounds(ie. .snd files/ system 7 sound format) etc but from
the sounds of it this is not the problem.
