Using Powerpoint sounds without pesky icon

[OfficeAnimal]

Is there a way to insert sounds into PPT2007 without that Speaker icon wrecking your template appearance?

In Help look for ``Hide the sound icon``


Canadian eh! Check out the new social forum Tek-Tips in Canada.

Thanks for the pointer.

This
"While inserting a sound, you can specify whether it should play automatically when the slide containing it appears or only when you click its icon. The sound object appears on the slide represented by an icon indicating the type of sound. You can change the appearance and size of the icon and move it to meet your needs.

When the sound object is selected, PowerPoint adds Format and Options contextual tabs to the Ribbon. You can format the icon representing the sound in much the same way that you would format a picture. You can adjust its size, position, and volume; specify whether the icon is displayed on the slide; and specify how the sound is activated.
