Good morning, I am running into the strangest thing (although I did find one question asked last year about it). I click the Sound from File option, and it brings up the browse to file window. I locate the file, and then click the file to open it - the progress window displays, but then a flash and nothing ends up being added to the slide. Unlike the previous string, there is no speaker icon at all - just nothing.
The one file I attempted adding the audio was an older one that I was re-using, but I did try it also with a brand new file.
OK - upon thinking about different ways to make this happen, I remembered to try saving this to my hard drive as opposed to a shared drive.
It works now.
Articulate - any rational as to why it is always suggested that we need to work on our hard drive as opposed to a shared drive? It is a real nuisance when you are working with multiple designers on a single piece to have various versions saved to people's hard drive, and never being sure which is the latest version.
I don't know the thoughts of our programmers, but I suspect it has something to do with general issues caused by network or shared drives in updating and/or cached copies of files. You'll want to use the method described here for sharing files to collaborate on with other colleagues.

Hi Brent,
