I have painstakingly recorded 18 audio files to synch with an animated Power
Point file in version 2003. The audio files are included as animation. As
long as the audio files and slideshow are in the same folder, they play
flawlessly.

Can I save the Slide Show so that it is emailable/postable to the web as a
single file without lossing the connection to the audio files? Ultimately I
want to hyperlink the Slide Show file to our intranet site, without posting
all the audio files that support it.

Also, the file needs to self-launch and automatically move from slide to
slide with the audio. It does this in its current configuration.

I am ripping my hair out trying to get this to work.

You can embed the audio files in PPT as long as they are .wav files and
under the maximum size (default of 100KB can be changed - Tools, Options,
General Tab, increase the default 100 KB to whatever is needed) A embedded
file doesn't have to be included with the PPT file but embedding files does
increase the size of the total PPT file. You can not embed any other audio
type files, such as .mp3, wma, etc.

If you embed the files and get it to run properly locally you should also be
able to do anything that your original post mentioned as a desired action.
