Sound clips

[tan]

Does anyone know how to take a sound file, make it shorter (as in, leave out the parts of the song you don't want), and insert it into Powerpoint Presentation? I tried to use Window Video Maker to shorten my sound file, then just insert that into the presentation, but that just ended up horribly. Any ideas?

Use <a href="http://audacity.sourceforge.net/">Audacity</a>. It's kind of like Photoshop for sound. Well, more like The Gimp, because it's open-source.

As for putting it into Powerpoint, I imagine it would just be Insert > Object > Sound clip, or something along those lines. I use Openoffice, sorry I can't be more precise.
