MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / November 2006Stopping sound in PowerPoint presentation
Hello, I have inserted some sounds in my PowerPoint presentation. I have set them up to start when the sound icon is clicked. That works fine. But I would also like to be able to stop the sounds with a mouse click, in case i don't want the whole sound to play during the presentation. So I choose "Custom Animation" and "Effect Options" and for the "Stop Playing" option I choose "on click" (which is the default anyway). But the sounds will not stop playing when I click! If I view the presentation and click to start the sound, the sound keeps going until finished, no matter how much I then click the mouse. Solution? =?Utf-8?B?UHJvZi4gQml4Ynk=?= <jsiegel at law dot gwu dot edu> wrote in news:03583F4A-08BC-4B52-BFB7-76AA9B7CF18F@microsoft.com: You can insert a button and set its Action Settings to "Play" the sound "[stop all sounds]" --David  SignatureDavid M.

I have the same problem (over and over in 12 slide shows with 10-20 slides each). I really think this is a bug. I'm using PowerPoint for Office 2003. Powerpoint didn't always work this way. ..... Any how, I'm not sure I understand David's work around (or else there's a bug there as well). I am assuming that when David said create a button, he meant an action button. When I create an action button my choices are "No sound" or "Stop Previous Sound". I don't see "Stop All Sounds". Any advice? > =?Utf-8?B?UHJvZi4gQml4Ynk=?= <jsiegel at law dot gwu dot edu> wrote in > news:03583F4A-08BC-4B52-BFB7-76AA9B7CF18F@microsoft.com: [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > > > Solution? You are right. It is [stop previous sound], but it does generally work to stop the sound that is playing. --David SignatureDavid M.
