Yes, there were two sound files in my Slide Transition box.
After [oh, maybe ten hours work] I discovered the problem:
When you select "[No Sound]" you must check "Apply to All"
and uncheck the Loop box. That will delete any and all sound files.
See
http://RDStouffer.net/ppt.gif for a screen shot.
I also figured out how to copy a slideshow to a -new- slideshow
by selecting all components with Shift+click and a fairly simple macro
to do all the COPY and PASTE work. I was able to create a new
10-slide file, without a sound track of course, in about 15 minutes.
Thanks for your help and inspiration, tohlz. It was appreciated.

| Do you mean there are two sounds in your presentation?
| If there is still a sound that plays in your presentation, you will need to
| check the sound starts at which slide.
|
| Then, go to that particular slide, zoom out the slide until 25-33% and see
| if you can find any sound icon. Have you check on that? If there is, delete
| it away.
|
| If you still can't locate it, feel free to drop me an email together with

| Replace the [at] with @ and [dot] with .
