Version: 2008 cannot figure out how to make music play from one slide to another. i figured out how to put it on one slide, but when i play the slide show, the slides do not transition until the song is over and it only plays on that one slide. Does anyone know how to make one song play through multiple slides?

Hi,

Right-click or control-click on the sound icon and choose Custom
Animation. Click the Add Entrance Effect button. Choose More Effects.

Click the Media tab, then choose Play. Click OK.

At the bottom of the Custom Animation palette a new section appears.
Click the triangle next to Media Options. Click Adjust Playing After #
of slides to the number of slides you wish to have the sound play.

In the Timing section choose how many times you want the sound to play.

Steve,

Of course I don't mind! If you feel academically inclined and wish to
properly cite the source, it's from page 589 of the Dummies book.

Done (perhaps not a la Chicago Manual of Style but in spirit, academically
correct) Thanks!

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