I am including background music in a PowerPoint presentation . Each slide is
timed to last for a specific number of seconds. I would like the background
music to fade out during the last slide. How do I do that?

I am a relative newbie but I don't think this can be done in PowerPoint. I
have a workaround using free audio and recording editing software which is
called AUDACITY. I find this marvellous. If I am wrong then I'm sure someone
will else soon will come to your aid. I am posting this in case you are in a
hurry.

MoMo,

Yes - you're on the money with this answer.

Powerpoint does not have the ability to fade in / out music on your slides.

The audacity software from
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

Currently version 1.2.6 can take a digital sound file, and apply the
'effect' of 'fade out' or 'fade in' from (funnily enought) the effects menu.

Thanks TAJ, nice to know I'm correct for once. I think I am doing very well
with PowerPoint now. Reading all the Newsgroup messages. Thanks to you all
for your input. Very interesting daily reading!
I have copied your link and advice etc into my tips folder:-)
