Students frequently ask me how to insert a sound and make it play for more than one slide. Here is how to do it in ten steps. This assumes that you have already found a sound and saved it somewhere on your computer. This is in Office 2003
- Navigate to the slide where you want your sound to begin playing.
- Go to Insert>Movies and sounds>Sound from file
- Navigate to your sound file
- Click OK
- Click Automatically
- Go to Slide Show>Custom Animation (your sound file should be listed)
- In the drop down list next to your sound click the effect options. Play sound, Effect tab
- Click the radio button beside stop playing after (Here there is a drop down box where you can choose the number) slides
- In Timing tab - to play automatically you can set to start after previous with a 0 second delay
- Go to sound settings and adjust the volume
Done!
