Sound Files

[Guest]

I want a particular soundtrack to be playing in the background of a PP (2003)
presentation. When I get to a particular slide, I want the sound to decrease
automatically to a new preset level. Later on in the presentation, I would
like for the volume to increase. I am okay with VBA, so I don't mind having
to program this.

Also, is there a way to get a soundtrack to end after so many seconds,
without having to click on anything.

Any help would be appreciated.

The code snippets and samples in the ZIP files here should help with both
problems:

You won't, I don't think, be able to adjust the volume of individual sound
files, but one of the samples should let you control the system WAV volume;
grab current level, reduce it to a percentage of same, then restore it later.
