PPT 97 page transitions with spanning audio file

E

EJF

Situation: all slides set up with transitions to advance automatically after
a certain number of seconds. An audio file spans several slides and the
slide transition timings are set to coordinate with the voice over in the
audio file.

Problem: Very often (but not always), all the slides do not advance. Some
will advance properly, then all of a sudden the presentation no longer
advances... the audio file continues, but the visuals do not.

Origianally, I was using the Insert sound function and setting the
properties to continue playing the slides and setting the audio to continue
for X number of slides. I had the problem. Then I found the Music Span
application that someone had made for PowerPoint. (I believe I found it
through PPT online help and assume it is endorsed by the PPT). It seemed to
work fine and the problem went away. Now after I'm about 10 or so slides deep
into the audio track, the problem has returned.

Sometimes, if I exit PPT and return all slides will advance properly 1-2
times through the audio track as I adjust timings, but pretty soon the
problem reappears.

Thank you for any help you can offer to fix this.
