hi kathy
when i said sound what i meant is music i have a musicalscore which i want
as the background for my entire presentation, am really not v computer
literate and have been struggling with this for days...

why wont the slide move onto to slide 2 when i have inserted music,-
everything runs automatically before i put music in now it just gets stuck
on slide one.

i would really appreciate simple step by step idiot proof instructions so
i can rectify this
many thanks
luke

i have tried to follow this through,and am feeling really stupid..
the sound is inserted but when i go to custom animation to make adjustments
there doesnt appear to be a multi medi settings tab hence i cant follow the
rest of the steps
i have it set up to start playing from the beginning and finish after 999
slides as the tutorial suggests, however i have no tab 'Click to put a
checkmark next to Play using animation order or
to select Continue slide show' what can i do?

am getting really desperate here..

thanks
