Looping Audio Question

[Troy @ TLC Creative]

Here is the scenario:
- Using PPT 2003, SP2 on Win XP Pro machine
- Making a quick looping slideshow for a Christmas Party.
- All slides set to automatically advance
- Show setup to loop until ESCape
- Insert audio file onto slide 1 (also experimented with hidden slide and on
Master)
- Audio = .MP3 (also tried .wma and embedded .wav)
- Audio set to loop
- Audio set to Continue playing for 999 slides

Problem:
- Slideshow loops from last slide to slide #1 (loop until escape)
- Audio does not continue to play but starts again... (hence experimenting
with audio on a hidden slide and the Master slide)

Any Ideas?
- Anyone know of a way to have the audio file continue to loop seamlessly as
the slideshow loops back to slide 1?

Many Thanks,
Troy Chollar

Hey I knew Glenna was brilliant! I actually just spent the past 10 minutes
doing almost exactly what she describes - so much for patting myself on the
back. Thanks Tohlz for the quick reply.

Thanks Echo! But then that defeats the purpose of making PPT do
everything....
