Recording your own sound files

To record sound files, you need to plug a microphone into the mic jack on your
computer's sound card. The following steps show you how to record a narration for a
slide. Click on the slide you want to add a recording to.

1. Click the Insert menu < Movies and Sounds < Record Sound.

2. When the Record Sound dialog box appears, type a name for your recording in
the Name box.

3. Use the Play, Stop, and Record buttons


to record your narration.

4. If you want to change your recording,


you need to delete it and start over. Hit
the Cancel button from the Record
Sound dialog, or select the icon on
the slide and hit Delete.

5. When you're satisfied with your recording, click OK. The Record Sound dialog
box will close, and a speaker icon will appear in the middle of your slide. You
can resize this icon or move it to other parts of the slide.

6. Use the process above to insert this recorded sound into your PowerPoint by
associating it with an action button.
