Hi :) Oops, sorry! A PptX file can be renamed to .zip. It's best to do this to a copy of the file instead of the original one.
If it really is the older MS format, ppt or pps then that trick isn't going to work. I think you can just rename pps to ppt but that doesn't help either. I think the pps plays automatically plays whereas ppt opens in edit-mode. Actually if you can get into editing mode then you might be able to find a way of saving the audio file in there somewhere. MS formats are unreliable so it might be a good idea to save the presentation in LibreOffice's native format, ODF - specifically Odp for presentations. ASfter that when you bring the audio-file back in it should work. In general if LibreOffice is struggling with a file then it's sometimes a good idea to try OpenOffice (and vice-versa). Microsoft formats are a bit temperamental and sometimes have problems even in different versions of MS Office.
