MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / February 2007Linked slide only plays sound on first access
PowerPoint 2003 presentation has multiple slides with links between them. Each slide has a unique sound associated with it. The first time a slide is displayed by linking to it, the sound works correctly and is heard. If the same slide is linked to at a later time in the same presentation, the sound is not heard, only silence. What must be done to have the sound reoccur every time the slide is accessed through a link? Thanks... There's an excellent tutorial on this very subject see "Using custom shows > make sure animations play on second visit" -- Amazing PPT Hints, Tips and Tutorials-http://www.PPTAlchemy.co.uk -------------------------------------------- http://www.technologytrish.co.uk/ppttipshome.html email john AT technologytrish.co.uk > PowerPoint 2003 presentation has multiple slides with links between them. > Each slide has a unique sound associated with it.

Another simple solution is to attach the sound to a transition, instead of placing it on the slide. But you'll be limited to WAV files, unfortunately. A more complex solution is in this tip: "Create hyperlinks in a timed presentation," at http://www.ellenfinkelstein.com/powerpoint_tip_hyperlinks_in_timed_pres.html. The reason we're giving you solutions related to animation is that both sound and animation refuse to play the second time the slide is displayed.
