Stopping sound in 2003

[Diane Busch]

I narrate during the table of contents and multiple choice quiz slides. My
narration is a sound file (.wav), inserted to start playing automatically.
Problem is, my narration does not stop when students click on their choices -
such as the hyperlink to the custom show on the table of contents slide,
which is the lesson they want to watch, or their answers during the quizzes.
What happens is they hear two different sound files playing at the same time,
because the first one does not stop after they click, and the next sound file
(such as the intro to the lesson or the next quiz question) starts. My sound
file settings are set to stop on click. Anyone know how to fix this in
PowerPoint 2003?

Try adding the naration as a transition sound and then on the first slide of
the custom show set the transition sound to "Stop Previous sound"

Could that work?

Still hearing both narrations at the same time, as I am unable to figure out
how to set the transition sounds to "Stop Previous Sound". Is this a feature
in 2003?

 

[John Wilson]

Select the first slide to stop sound

Slide Show > Slide Transition ( or in 2007 Transition tab)
Transition Sounds Dropdown > Stop Previous Sound

I'm looking at 2007 here but I'm fairly sure 2003 is similar

Mr. Wilson, once again you are my hero! Thank you. After setting the sound
on my table of contents to be a transition sound, rather than inserted, then
on each lesson's intro slide, chose the transition to stop previous sound, it
worked!! I still have the problem of when the students click their answers
