MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / November 2007Batching audio files
I'm looking for a way to batch link audio files, in a sequence, to ppt slide. Advice appreciated.  SignatureMark in Oz Hi Mark, Just insert each file as usual. By default they'll play automatically at the same time. To hide the little speaker icons, move them off the slide. To play each sound in sequence use Custom Animation. Set each one to "After Previous", and move them around to the order you need. Cheers, Geoff > I'm looking for a way to batch link audio files, in a sequence, to ppt > slide. > Advice appreciated. Pretty much as Geoff says except the default here in 2003 is to play "after previous" which seems to be what you want. I'm guessing that there's more to your question though??

It is tedious (and obvious slow) to add each audio file one at a time for a large number of slides. I was wondering if there is a way, or tool, to automate this process, where say I have a list of audio files and they are automatically (batched) inserted in the proper order in correponding slides.

It would be possible to do, but you would probably have to get someone who knows vba well to write you a custom add in. Start asking round your friends!

Start asking round your friends! Mark's already been in touch. Depending on how he wants the sound inserted, we may have a solution. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ I never realized it would merge sound Steve. More live and learn! I knocked up a little macro to browse to, select multiple sound files and insert them as well (just for fun and education!)
