Slide Transitions Don't Work when Audio Added

[Guest]

Running PPT 2002 on Windows XP

Im working on a powerpoint "Christmas Card". I have a presentation with 117
slides. I have voice narration for slides 1-11. The slide show runs fine
with narration and slides advancing at the appropriate timings.

I have slides 12-117 to advance after 2.7 seconds. On slide #12 I have a
Christmas song, as an MP3 inserted. When I play the slideshow, the song
comes on with slide #12, but slides never advance. The song does continue to
play.

Through searching the forum, the likely suggestion seems indicates that I
have to "edit the sound in a sound editor to trim off the first XX seconds".
That's where I get lost. I don't want to cut any of the song. Do I have to
"add" XX seconds to the start of the song, and then insert the song on slide
#1?

Am going away for the weekend, and will checkback on Sunday or Monday night
and advise of any progress Ive made based on responses. THANX so much.

Robin,

I don't believe you need to edit the actual sound file.... just tweak your
presentation

Play sounds across multiple slides (A WAV runs through it)
