Repeating Slide show with continuous music
I've experimented with different settings and even with Music Span From
Shyam Pillai, but didn't quite get the result I wanted, which is this: Slide show should run from the beginning to the end and then repeat indefinitely. At the start of the show, the Wav or Mp3 file should be started too and then run continuously i.e. when the show returns to the first slide, tho music should play on and not start from the beginning. What are the settings for the show, Slide transitions etc. necessary to achieve this? I use PPT 2003. TIA, Primoz |

Hi,
The trick is to insert a Kick Off slide at the beginning of the slide show to start your music. Next mark slide 2 through the last slide to be a custom show with automated timing to advance slides. Make sure Slide 1 DOES NOT have automated timing to advance slide. Set up the slide show to loop until ESC using automated timings. When you run the slide show, Slide 1 will start the music and you'll need to click to go to Slide 2. From that point on, the presentation should loop through Slide 2 to the Last Slide without resetting the music (unless you have some other sound stop it between Slide 2 and the Last Slide).

Hi,
From Slide 1, click on Slide Show, Slide Transition, make sure Advance Slide Automatically IS NOT checked, but Advance on Mouse Click is checked. Insert your sound file following these directions: http://www.indezine.com/products/pow...undacross.html Click on Slide Show, Slide Transition for slides 2 - 5 and make sure the box for Advance Slide Automatically IS checked and the appropriate seconds are set for each slide. Click on Slide Show, Set Up Show, choose Presented by a Speaker (full screen), check the box for Loop Continuosly until 'Esc, Show Slides should be set to your Custom Show, set Advance Slides to "Using timings, if present". That should do it. Glenna "Primoz Bradac" wrote: Thanks Glenna for your prompt response. I set up 5 slides in a presentation with slides 2 to 5 in a custom show. I inserted audio file in two ways into slide 1. Either with Insert Movies and sound etc.... or by specifying Slide Transition and setting Sound field with an audio file. The problem is how to start the slide show. If I setup show in Slide Show menu as custom show it starts with slide 2 and the music is not started at all. Setting the All option in Setup show does start the music but after kicking off the show at slide 1 and showing slides 2 to 5 it returns to slide 1 to be kicked again and start the music from the beginning. I experimented with action settings on slide 5 to hyperlink it to slide 2 but unfortunately hyperlinks are bound to some object to be clicked so it doesnt work either. Or did I misunderstood you?

Hi Primoz,
My Apologies. I forgot a step: On Slide One, Create a Link that goes to the Custom Show that you created. So, for example, On Slide One, Put 2 objects: Object One: Start Music (with Action Settings to start music or start it automatically) Object Two: Start Custom Show (with Action Settings or Hyperlink to start the Custom Show) Under Set Up Show, Set Show Slides to All. Sorry, thought I was forgetting something, but I couldn't remember what it was VBG Glenna "Primoz Bradac" wrote: Thanks Glenna for your prompt response.
