How To PowerPoint

Question by The Man: How can I export my PowerPoint plus narration into a movie?
I’m using the Mac version of M.S. Office. I hit “record narration” and recorded the narration within the presentation (NOT linked to an audio file). I can (and have) exported a PPT to an MOV, but can’t seem to find a way to do this while retaining the audio and slide timings.
I don’t have the money to buy a 3rd party software either…
Thanks! 10 pts to the winner!

In PowerPoint 2008 the audio has to be saved separately and then added back in using iMovie.

You can capture the audio with Audacity (free).
