What nice music to a slideshow is what sweet birds to a wood. That iswhy we tend to add an attractive soundtrack to our PowerPoint slideswhen making a presentation. In actual application, however, you mayfail to play a sound continuously over the whole presentation. Youmay find your soundtrack stop playing when you move onto the nextslide as you want it to play across multiple or even all the slides.Hence this essay comes out to give a reasonable description ofplaying a sound nonstop in PowerPoint.Since the specific steps are subject to the version of PowerPoint youuse and the sort of sounds you want to insert, you must ensure youare using the proper version and your soundtrack is in correctformat. We recommend you convert your sound file into the rightformat using a conversion program if it is not supported by yourPowerPoint version. Note that PowerPoint 2000 and upper can supportsuch formats as WAV, MP3, MID, RMI, AIF, AIFC, AU, WMA and AFS. Alsonote that only *.wav sounds are allowed to embed whatever PowerPointversion you use.Here we are going to discuss situations in today's most popularversions:Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2003andMicrosoft Office PowerPoint 2007.
