I am doing a presentation with slides and music. My problem is, it's
important the timing of the slides is just right with the music. But I can
play it and it's perfect, play it again and the timing is off. What can I do ?

The only way I have found to retain consistent timings with music is to
insert them as transition sounds. Transition sounds, however have to be WAV
files and they play the instant the slide transitions in.

I empathize as I wrestled with the same issue for a long time. PowerPoint
just is not consistent withe music/visual sybchronization either from one PC
to another or even on the same PC. A few years ago one of the MVP's here
suggested an alternative for music/visual timed slideshows. CyberLink
Medi@Show. I bought it and it works well for that purpose. You can create
the show as an .EXE file. BTW, I am not in any way connected with CyberLink
- just wanted to share an idea I got from here that worked for me and might
help.
