I've already done a PowerPoint presentation with over 110 slides 
(some with 5 images on!) but have difficulty converting ordinary 
music files to MIDI or WAV files.  How did you/have you convert your 
music files?

Oh goody, I'm not alone!  The software with my CD Writer converts to WAV files.  Haven't ever tried any MIDI files.  What I really liked was on the old Office 96 you can overlay WAV files on top of each other.  So that a song can be playing in the background and a voiceover come on.  So when I first made it I had Snape coming in with "There'll be no foolish wand waving or silly incantations in this class!"  Which was pretty neat.  But I couldn't find that many sound clips.  Then I tried it on Office 2000 and it won't play the second sound.  Just ignores it.  I can't figure out how to make it do both simultaneously, I guess it won't work anymore.  

Which reminds me (since this is OT-Chatter anyway) of over the summer when I was getting my classroom ready (hanging things from the ceiling is an integral part of first grade, naturally) and had the Powerpoint playing to see if the sounds were going to work.  So I turn it WAY up, climb up on a stool to reach the ceiling, and the first song ends.  The timing was off, so the second song didn't start.  I didn't think about that the voices would now work, and after a moment Snape came blaring out of the computer.  Scared me half to death!
