Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2003 Fast & Easy (Fast & Easy (Premier Press))

PowerPoint lets you play a sound clip while a certain slide is displayed during a slide show. This could be a music clip, a sound effect, or any other sound recording in a common audio format such as WAV, WMA, or MP3.

These steps do not apply to using audio from a CD-ROM or using voiceover narration. See the specific sections on those topics later in this chapter.

  1. Display the slide in Normal view that should receive the sound clip.

  2. Click on Insert. The Insert menu will appear.

  3. Point to Movies and Sounds. A second menu will appear.

  4. Click on Sound from File. The Insert Sound dialog box will open.

  5. Navigate to the folder that contains the sound file. The folder's name will appear in the Look in list box.

  6. Click on the sound file. The file will be selected.

  7. Click on OK. A confirmation dialog box will open.

    1. Click on Automatically if you want the sound to play when the slide appears during the slide show.

    OR

    1. Click on When Clicked if you want the sound to play only when its icon is clicked during the slide show.

  9. Click and drag the sound icon to a different location on the slide. The sound icon can be moved to any location on the slide.

Tip 

You can use the Custom Animation task pane, as in Chapter 13, to specify when the sound will execute in relation to the other animations on the slide.
