Microsoft PowerPoint Slides - May include voice-over narration, animations, interactivity, branching, indexing and media. If voice-over narrations are used, the settings described below are recommended:
In order to ensure that your narration files are included with the PowerPoint presentation, set the "Link sounds with file size greater than" setting to 50,000 Kb (see image to the left). This option can be found in PowerPoint by selecting "Tools" and then "Options" from the main menu. 

Before narrating your slides, make sure that your sound quality settings are at a reasonable bandwidth for distribution over the Internet.  Using the "Sound Selection" option for 16,000 KHz, 8 Bit, Mono produces excellent results.  This setting panel can be found in PowerPoint by selecting "Slide Show", "Record Narration" and then "Change Quality" from the main menu.
