Error msg is "PowerPoint cannot paly this file, make sure it is in .wav
format", after working with it some more I believe you can only play . wav
in the slide transition menu, but you can play any music format from the
insert / Move and Sounds command tool bar. Thougts? Thanks. r/ Curt

You are correct. Only WAVs can be attached to slide transitions. Insert |
Movies and Sounds allows a wider range of file types.
