Record Narrations Separately

To have a Narration follow a branched presentation, it is best to record the narrations separately. It is best to record and embed the narration sound files first for the embed presentation before you actually embed it in the main presentation.

Embedding Narration Sound Files

To embed a narration sound file, follow these steps:

1. On the Slide Show menu, click Record Narration.
2. In the Record Narration dialog box, click to clear the Link Narrations in: check box.
3. Record your narrations and save the timings for the narration.

After you embed your presentation(s)in the main presentation, record your narration for the main presentation, without branching to the embedded presentation(s). Afterwards, you will want to set the slide timings for the branch slide to manual. This will allow you to click on the embedded presentation to branch to it and continue with the slide show.
