I am trying to add music to a powerpoint. I can add music to one slide, but
how do I get the song to play over multiple slides? I have tried usingthe
custom annimation where you select the number of slides you want the songto
play for, but then the slides do not advance automatically. Please
help!!!!!!!
Hi,
Do you want to Insert a sound file and let it play through several
slides? Here are the steps. (It is for PowerPoint 2003, PP 2007 is
similar with it)
Suppose if you want to play a song from slide 5 to slide 8:
1. Display slide 5.
2. Click Insert -> Movies and Sounds -> Sound from File, locate the
folder that contains the sound file that you want, and then double-
click the sound file.
3. In the succeeding dialog box which says "how do you want the sound
to start in the slide show", one of the following:
Click "automatically" if you want to play the sound automatically when
you go to the slide.
Click "when Clicked" if you want to play the sound when you click the
sound icon.
4. Right click the sound icon, and then click Custom Animation.
5. In the Custom Animation task pane, click the arrow on the selected
item in the Custom Animation list, and then click Effect Options.
6. On the Effect tab, under Stop playing, select "After ** slides" and
then input 8.
In the Sound Options dialog box, select the Loop until stopped check
box to repeat the sound continuously.
After these, the song can be played through slide 5 to slide 8.
