Insert a shot clock with loud buzzer at the end

[Nelson]

HELP!! Please give me instructions and where to go to insert a shot clock in
a slide that counts down from 5 to 0 seconds. The shot clock I would like to
use should have hundredths of a second, etc. on it. Once it hits 00:00:00:00
seconds, I would like to have a loud buzzer sound. I would like an answer at
your earliest convenience. Thanks very much for your anticipated help!!

I don't think that PowerPoint can do anything to hundreths of a second.
For more ideas, look at "Clocks and Timers in PowerPoint" from the PPT
FAQ:

Thanks for the information, but I still don't see where within PowerPoint I
can get the correct download to have a simple countdown clock on 1 slide
within my PowerPoint presentation. What am I doing wrong or where do I go to
get a simple countdown clock? The only thing I can find is a sample
breaktime clock that has a bunch of extra stuff on the slide that I don't
want showing. Any help and instruction you could give me as soon as possible
would be greatly appreciated!!

The first link eventually takes you to:

This might provide the functionality you want. The break timer at:

also seems to provide the functionality you want (although not to the
100th of a second). What is the break timer missing? You can always use
PowerPoint to change what's on the screen. The hard work (programming
the VBA) is done for you.
