[Dave]

How do I get music to play in the background as the slides run?

How do I get music to play in the background as the slides run?

Head to http://www.pptfaq.com and put Sound Across Slides in the searchbox
there. You should be able to access FAQ 047 then.

 

[Dave]

I went to the web search as you indicated.
I went in Slideshow, slide transition, and sound
there I browsed to the song I want, I hit apply to all

When I run the slide show no music. Plus I want to add more than one song

 

[Echo S]

Since you want more than one sound, you need to use the techniques not
listed under the "One Sound Only" section.

 

[Dave]

Okay, in english this time? Techniues not list under the "one Sound Only"
section???
please explain

At the end of the section with the header that says "One Sound Only" (which
is, I believe, the technique you used), there is a line that says this:
If you need sounds to start and stop on other slides, choose the
instructions for your version of PowerPoint:

So, please choose the instructions depending on the version of PPT you're
using. Please use the techniques in one of the following sections:

If you use PowerPoint 2000 (and PowerPoint 97 works much the same)

or

And if you use PowerPoint 20002/XP or PowerPoint 2003

which immediately follow the section titled "One Sound Only."

Sorry, but I'm lost. I don't remember seeing anything about Technique, or if
you need sounds to start or stop. I've not done it right or missing
something completely.
I'm using MS PP 2000 with SP-3

I'm sorry, Dave, I'm obviously not explaining well. Hopefully someone else
who can do better will pop in shortly.

[Dave]

Could it be that my music files are *.wma if so how can I fix that?

 

[Michael Koerner]

Care to give us a step by step on how your inserting your sound files.

The link that Echo provided http://www.rdpslides.com/pptfaq/FAQ00047.htm tells
you exactly how to insert your sounds and what sound types work with what
version of PowerPoint.

[Dave]

okay,
I click on insert
movies and sound
sound from file
and from there I browse to my music file
I've tried the original music "song" *.wma and I've copied that and renamed
it to a *.wav and neither work when I run the slide show
I get a little horn icon or a record icon that appears on the first slide
"which I don't want there"
but still nothing happens
