Existing PowerPoint audio

Hi,

I'm looking for instructions for converting existing audio files in a Powerpoint presentation. The Presenter software was installed after these narrated slides were created.

How do I convert the audio so that they will now be editable in Presenter?

Thanks.

Great idea. However, the current version of PowerPoint 2010 took the save as webpage feature away for some reason.

I wonder if there is any other way to export out those old audio files or perhaps all audio will have to be re-recorded?


I'm not sure if you have had any success since your last posting but I did find this with a little Google search: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/powerpoint-help/extract-files-or-objects-from-a-powerpoint-2010-file-HA101821613.aspx

I know this is considered answered already, but I think I have another solution.  In the presenter tab, under audio, there is an import option.  Clicking import gives you the choice of importing from a file or importing from the PowerPoint itself.  I think this was what you were looking for.

Presenter allows you to edit the audio right while in Presenter. There is an audio and video editor built into Presenter.

I'm talking about the audio that was recording within PowerPoint. PowerPoint allows you to record your own narriation

. You can't edit that audio within the Presenter tab.

This audio doesn't seem to export with Presenter. I'm looking for a way to convert the audio so that Presenter can use it.

To gain access to the audio recorded within Power Point (and not Presenter) you will need to export the PPT as a web page (File -> Save As). It will create a folder with assets including .wav files for each of the slides. You can then edit these files in whatever program you choose or re-import them back into the PPT via Presenter's audio import function.
