Adding downloaded music to a Powerpoint Presentation.

[Guest]

I can get the music to play only on the first slide. When I click on
Slideshow and the next slide comes up, music stops. How do I get the music
to play continuously through the 30 slides in the slideshow until I exit out
of slideshow? I would also like to be able to e-mail this presentation
along with the music. Need some help. This is my first crack at this.

In PowerPoint 2002/2003:

Slide show > custom animation
In the animation task pane, click on the music animation
Select the arrow in the drop down menu, then select Effect Options
Select Stop Playing > After > 30 (slides)

Sandy's advice will play the song thru all 30 slides, but there are some
considerations you need to make when emailing PowerPoint presentations with
sounds.

Almost all sounds are linked from the presentation, not embedded within it.
Therefore; you will need to move the sound file to the same directory as the
PPT file *PRIOR* to linking it (yes, I know it says insert sound, but it
lies). Doing this creates a link that will work on the other end of the
email. Then you will need to send the folder with both the PPT and the
sound files.

PowerPoint will embed WAV files, but there is a selectable size limit to
these. Even when set to the maximum size limitation, 30 slides worth of WAV
formatted sound will probably be over that limit.

If you want the presentation to open in Show mode instead of Edit mode, save
the file as a PowerPoint Show (or alternately, change the file's extension
from PPT to PPS).

The receiver will be able to play the presentation with the sounds by saving
the folder to the hard drive and double clicking the PPT/PPS file.
