Hi I have a memorial presentation to have ready by this Sunday.  I have 170
slide (still pic) slide show and a 2.40 length mp3 file 320 bit rate that I
want to play continuously through the slide show.  I really need help on this
one because the time is so short.  Thanks

Scruffer,

When you insert that MP3 on, say, Slide 1, you will see a speaker icon.  
Right click it, choose Custom Animation to open up the Custom Animation panel
on the right side of your screen.

Now, you should see the name of your sound file in the Custom Animation
panel.  Click the arrow to the right, choose Effect Options, and you will be
inside the Effect Options dialogue box (the answer to most audio problems).  

Find the Stop Playing section, change it from On Click to After: and type in
170.  That should do nicely.

As above. I'd choose a number more that 170 though to allow for maybe moving
backwards occassionally. It doesn't hurt to have too large a number so you
may as well go for the max (999)
