sound accross slides

[Ian Edwards]

Hi

I've created a slide show in PP 2003 and using the "insert sound from file"
placed an MP3 on slide 1

I then right clicked and from proporties set it to loop until stopped.

Ok now the slide should moveon after 5 secs but it doesn't seems to be
waiting for the music to finish.

A search on the web lead me to a page which told me I had to select " Play
accross slides". Can't find this option is it perhaps a 2007 feature?

thanks

Ian

Looping is to allow the music to play over and over again. To have it play
across multiple slides, you will need to open up custom animation, double
click on the play effect, and set the music to stop playing after 999 slides.
