MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / February 2007power point and turing off audio
I have prepared a PPT presentation. At the end of the presentation the audio starts over from the beginning. I cannot figure out how to stop this from happening. Any ideas on what I might do? thanks :) You really need to give us more info eg how you inserted the music and what you mean by "the end of the presentaion" I take it it stops when you actually close the presentation (I have seen music that didn't!) As a quick guess, go to the slide where the music starts and in custom animation pane find the entry for the sound. Double click it and in the timing tab look for a repeat setting.

When the presentation ends...i.e., when the last slide is shown and my audio (wave file: voice) has ended....the audio from slide one begins all over again. The presentation does not go to the first slide but the audio does start over again. I am going to burn this presentation on CD and hand out to Realtors. I don't want them to see it and then have the sound track start all over at the end of the presentation when they are sitting there thinking about what they just saw. I went to insert on the tool bar and inserted the wave file for a series of slides. I have looped the sound; not looped the sound and don't know now what to do. I did as you suggested and went to animation and double clicked on timing and it reads as follows: start: after previous Delay: 0 seconds Speed: 2seconds (medium) Repeat: (none) What would happen if I checked Rewind when done playing? I went to the first slide and the box for loop the sound is not checked. I don't know what else to look for on the first slide. > You really need to give us more info eg how you inserted the music and what > you mean by "the end of the presentaion" I take it it stops when you actually [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > > > thanks :) You need to go back and check again! Sound animations cant have "Speed = 2 secs" so you must be double clicking the wrong thing.

Where do I find sound animations? When I click design icon i am given the choice to click on design templates; color scheme and/or animation schemes. There is also an option to click on SlideDesign. When I do I get a long drop down list (nothing about sound) and near the bottom are three options: slide design - animation schmes; custom animation and then slide transition. Slide design and animation schemes and custom animation offer no sound options. Only slide transition has sound where you can uploan your sound files. What am I not seeing? > You need to go back and check again! Sound animations cant have "Speed = 2 > secs" so you must be double clicking the wrong thing.

The only way that I was able to put sound to any of the slides was in the slide transition section. There is an area "modify transition" and it has speed and sound. This is where I uploaded the sound. I do not have the icon for sound. I hope this will help you understand my problem. I do appreciate you trying to help > You really need to give us more info eg how you inserted the music and what > you mean by "the end of the presentaion" I take it it stops when you actually [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > > > thanks :) If its a transition sound try this go to slide 1 and in the slide transition pane choose "no sound" and apply to all slides This will make sure the sound is gone! Now choose the sound you want in the box do NOT click apply to allslides and do not tick loop until next sound The other way to insert sound is INSERT > movies and sounds > sound from file.
