Sound file not accessible by relative path

Hello

I got this error when adding a new narration clip in Speech-Over. I can't proceed. What do I do?

This error occurs when the SpeechOver/Preferences/General is set to "Use relative path" (check box checked).

This is a PowerPoint issue. It depends how you opened the presentation ppt file in PowerPoint. If you open it with PowerPoint Open as a recent file, PowerPoint does not recognize relative paths and you get the error. If on the other hand you open the presentation by double click on the ppt file on Windows Explorer or from the Start/Documents it does recognize relative paths and it works.

There are two solutions to the issue.

1. Open the ppt files only with double click on the Windows Explorer or with Start/Documents

2. Use the SpeechOver/Preferences/General set to "Use absolute path" (check box unchecked)
