------- Additional comments from din...@openoffice.org Fri Aug 7 22:05:37 +0000 2009 ------- I have today found you can embed sound files, but only as an object using OLE or plug-ins. You can even embed it with insert sound media menu, but you have to open the object and add it in the custom animations under the ""Misc Effects" column by selecting "start media". However, with the latter, you lose control over the sound file and the slide transitions. You do have to firstly customise this menu option to see it. All of these methods create slide show playback issues and sound file problems when exporting/emailing the presenation. Different problems arise in various scenarios, if you embed the sound files as per any of the above ... When sending a presentation as a .ppt, using the file menu within the presentation - the auto page transitions are lost (will only advances on mouse click), if the sound file is embedded; also you are left with a file recovery dialoge box if you later try to open the emailed presentation from within your email 'sent' folder. When sending a presentation using the XP classic menu on left hand side of screen, i.e., "email this file" and selecting a .ppt or .pps file, it sends the sound file and the page transitions, but the sound file can only be started on mouse click - it will not start automatically, upon the opening of the slide show. Selecting the sound file from the gallery in the custom transitions still definitely does not embed the sound file in the presentation. For emailing, export, etc. it is dropped, which suggests that Impress is calling up the sound file from the gallery but not embedding it in the presentation. What seems to be missing is the capability of embedding sound files from the Impress Gallery Sound folder and at the same time retaining the feature of these starting automatically when the slide show starts ... or wherever auto required within the slide show - with no mouse click! This currently only works on the slide show creator's p.c. and not on any other, because Impress is playing the file from the Gallery files stored on the creator's p.c. and not from within the presentation itself ... viz a viz, the files are not embedding. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
