how do u add music that runs through the whole slideshow/presentation?
i can do it for one page only but then the slideshow just stops on that one page….

To make the music carry on playing

For older versions of PowerPoint

Select your music file then Right click (nt the usual left click) and select Custom Animation. You can do this by selectig Slide Show > Custom Animation

Then select Multimedia Settings afterwards and make sure that you have selected Continue Slide show You will then need to set the Stop Playing button and enter in the Stop Playing > After number slides the number of slides that you would like the music to play for.

If you are using PowerPoint XP the prcedure is slightly different

Custom Animation > Right Click on Media and select Effect Options You will then need to set the Stop Playing button and enter in the Stop Playing > After number slides the number of slides that you would like the music to play for.

This feature is very nice, for example, if you want to show a long presentation at a trade show.

I hope that this helps

Hi,

I have the older version of Powerpoint – I tried what you suggested but the track stops the second I click on to the next slide!
