Adding Music to Slideshow

[penbob]

I'm new to this NG and to PowerPoint so forgive me please if this has been
asked before. . . . After adding music to a slide, I want it to play through
another particular slide which I can do; however, is there a way to test it
without having to view the slideshow from the very beginning again? Am
making a wedding slideshow and it's taking far too long to get the music
setup correctly. Will appreciate any advice you can offer. TIA

penbob,

Powerpoint is notoriously a bit hit and miss with regards to getting a
presentation to play consistently with music.

Sometimes it plays quick, sometimes slower.

I find that the best way to test it, is to play it through once (sorry...all
the way). Then play it again and time it. As the 2nd play is nearly always
consistent.
