TEch: MAC problem inserting sound in Powerpoint

[Paula Neale <plneale@EARTHLINK.NET>]

Colleagues,

I am trying to insert a midi file into a Powerpoint presentation. I am using
Office 98 on Macintosh System 8.6. I downloaded the file. If I double click
it, it plays in MoviePlayer, so I know it's there. But when I try to insert
it into the Powerpoint file, I get a message that Powerpoint cannot insert
the file.  In fact it doesn't recognize it as a sound file.  But when I
dragged that same midi file onto a PC disk, I could take it to school and
insert it into a Windows Office 97 version of Powerpoint with no problem. It
must be something about the MAC version of Powerpoint 98, that I don't know.
Anyone have any ideas?  According to the help files, I should be able to do
this with a file in midi format.

Thanks
