Playing Continuous Music...

[Stevo]

I am trying to make a powerpoint photo album for my son's graduation and have
about 85 pictures. I have figured out how to keep the slides running
continuosly, but when i add sound, it resets the song it is playing when it
reaches the first slide again. I have use the help on powerpoint, but it does
not solve my problem.

Right Click Sound Icon on Custom Annimation for the Music on Drop Down List
select Effect Options then Stop Playing after How Many Slides you have (85) .
Hope This Helps omega

Stevo,
Yeah - that's an interesting problem! I am planning to make a similar
presentation and hadn't thought about the music resetting as it completes
the last slide and returns back to the first slide. I'm not sure how I'm
going to handle that either. Hope you find a workable solution.

There is a solution, a bit ugly but it works.

From your toolbox for controls insert the Windows Media Player and then set
the URL to your sound file. Set WMP to auto start and then loop until
stopped. Now drag it off the slide so the viewer can't see it.

The result is the music will play continously regardless of what PPT is
doing. The downside is that you will have to stop it manually at some
point.
