inserting sound into powerpoint
- Thread starter Sdaddy
- Start date
Go to the slide you want to start your sound on
click Insert
Select Movies & Sounds
Select Sounds from File
Locate then Insert your File (look for All Files not just Sound Files)
Respond as appropriate to the "play automatically" prompt
Right Click on the Sound Icon choose properties
On the Multimedia Tab
check the Media Object to animate
then check the continue Slide Show button
Decide how many slides you want it to stop after then use the spinner to go up to that number
...and don't forget to check the hide while playing box or the sound icon will remain visible in the middle of your slide.
Now go to the Order & Timing Tab
Highlight your Media file and decide whether you want it to start playing the sound file on mouse click or automatically after a set number of seconds
That should be everything sorted

Just small additions to Jonsi's comment:
>>Decide how many slides you want it to stop after then use the spinner to go up to that number OR BEYOND THAT NUMBER
Putting a larger number in there works fine, and you don't have to worry if you add a slide or something later.
>>and don't forget to check the hide while playing box or the sound icon will remain visible in the middle of your slide
You can also just drag the speaker icon off the visible area of the slide.
I'm editing a PowerPoint book due out in about 6 months, and just did the chapter on sounds yesterday!

I have been trying to do this for days. I have a .wma file to insert into PP, did exactly as instructed here and it still won't play. I can get a .midi file to play, just not a .wma, .wav or .mp3. I'm using PP 2002 and WMP9. Any help is appreciated.
