Ok...I'm pretty sure Steven is using Office XP and I don't even know where to find Multimedia under Custom Animation in there....but as far as what everyone keeps saying about looping the sound causing it to loop thru slides by using "edit sound" , this comes DIRECTLY from the PowerPoint Help menus...note that it says the sound will loop UNTIL YOU ADVANCE TO THE NEXT SLIDE (not shouting...just emphasizing LOL)....and where oh where did PowerPoint hide this Custom Animation>Multimedia in 2002? "Loop a sound or movie When you loop a sound or movie, the file plays until you advance to the next slide. On the slide, right-click the sound icon or movie. On the shortcut menu, click Edit Sound Object or Edit Movie Object. Select the Loop until stopped check box.

Ok, I reinstalled Powerpoint to jog my memory and it's where I said - the Mulitmedia tab. Just right click your sound and choose Custom Animation and then click the Multimedia tab. Put a checkmark next to Play using animation order and then check Continue Slide Show. Finally, enter the number of slides you want the sound to continue through - in the Stop Playing section - After option. vic Lock and hide folders from prying eyes and viruses. http://personal-computer-tutor.com/lh/lockhide.htm - ************************************************************* PLEASE READ!!!!
