Fade sound in PowerPoint

[Jack Berlekamp]

I am using music over a series of slides. Is it possible to have the music fade at the end of the timing vs. just abruptly stop? Any help in this area would be appreciated.

Jack,

I'm pretty sure PowerPoint can't do this. You would have to fade it in a
sound editor.

Thanks Glen,

I figured as much but was hoping I missed something. I have avoided the sound editor since that locks me into a specific time limit on the music. Now I am looping tracks which allows me to add slides and change timing without re-editing the audio track. Guess I can't have everything.

I am interested in the same thing----this is a much needed option.

Not necessarily - you can create a smaller version of the file you are
looping and fade it out to the end - then insert that within your last
slide.

Yes, many of us could need this feature. So please take a minute of your
time and do yourself (and John Langhans of Microsoft) a favour and report it
to Microsoft's wish list.

Let me quote John: "If you (or anyone else reading this message) have
suggestions for how
PowerPoint might improve it's text formatting features, don't forget to
send your feedback (in YOUR OWN WORDS, please) to Microsoft at:

Kind regards,
Ute

I can't help with your problem but I'm wondering if you can help me. I'm trying to add music to my slideshow. When I pull in the track that I saved onto my harddrive it only plays on the first slide. Every time I advance to a new slide, the song start over again.

Sue,

The following should do the trick:

Play sounds across multiple slides (A WAV runs through it)

Go into slide transition----it will ask if you want the music to play on one slide or quit after so many slides---you can enter how many slides you want it to play through and it will do this for you.
