Good morning, John,
I'm using PowerPoint 2007 (in compatibility mode for 2003). This will be a
very long presentation that I want to run without any intervention from me or
a viewer.
Here are the facts:
* The only animation in the project is on the first slide. It seems to end
perfectly and in the right place.
* In all, I'll have 11 .wav song files.
* I have a .wav song file, beginning on the first slide, that I want to run
until approximately slide 40.
* After slide 40, I want to begin another .wav song that will play for
another 30-ish slides.
In all, I'll be using about 450 .jpg files that I've compressed from within
PowerPoint. None of the files are bigger than 900 kb, even before
compression.
My biggest problems:
At the end of the animation in slide one, music continues but slide 2 never
appears.
I don't know how to adjust the timing between slides (assuming I can get
beyond slide 1). After I've set the timing settings, they seem to change
without notice.
I don't know how to make music fade in and out (but that's an "operator"
issue, not a PowerPoint issue.
I feel lucky to have found this PowerPoint discussion group, and you in
particular. I'm totally stressing out, because I need this presentation to
be done in about 1 1/2 days. Your advice is HUGELY appreciated!!!
