Using PP 2000 - SP3 on WIN XP Pro

I imported a slide from another PPS into my PP file. The slide has a
"sound" that plays continuously - even when I move onto the next slide.
I would like to change it to stop playing once I move onto the next slide.
I have looked at every menu choice & rt. click choice, but can find no
info on the sound included with the slide.

Any hints would be appreciated.

TIA
Doug

How is the sound inserted?
Click Slide Show > Custom Animation.
Select the media, click Multimedia Settings tab.
Under Stop playing, select after current slide.

If the sound is inserted through Slide Transition, simply insert another
sound on the next slide through slide transition. The current sound will stop
while the new song comes in.

Multimedia tabs were "greyed out"

This is where it was & I couldn't find it before.
Many thanks
