Slideshow sound fails to loop.

A

Andy I.

Hi,

The sound has been inserted and set to play automatically.
The sound has been set to play throughout. (Stop playing after 999 slides
and repeat 1000 times.)
The sound has been set to loop. (Edit sound object | Loop until stopped.)

When I view the slideshow, the sound plays automatically. The slides start
to advance and the sound continues but on reaching the last slide, the sound
stops. The slides loop but the sound does not start up again either.

I have produced several slideshows following exactly the same procedure (as
far as I can tell.....) and the results have been perfect. The .wav
selected is always of longer duration than the show, so when the slides
start to loop, the sound continues without interruption.

I'd appreciate very much a solution to the problem.
Andy I.

Thanks William. I regret to inform you................ that I've already
read that tutorial and complied with it.

These two links don't work:
": Articulate Presenter: http://www.articulete.com
: FlashSpring: http://www.falshspring.com"

but I'll look into Wondershare.

Thanks again.
Andy I.

: Or you may need to transform to other fomats like Flash to get better
: control of background music. Some presentation tools can do this

Sorry Geetesh, but I've already read this one too, and complied with it.
I'm getting desperate!

Eureka! It seems I failed to check the "Show and Return" box when setting
the hyperlink to Custom Show. Now it works as planned.

Sorry to have troubled you.
