Very true, Jonathan. PPT pretty much plays sounds "as is," so a sound editing program is necessary for things like volume issues. PPT 2002 is supposed to allow you to change sound volume inherently, however, we've been seeing mixed results with this in the newsgroup. Seems that some people can get it to work, while others can't. We haven't yet been able to nail down what's going on. -- Echo [MS PPT MVP] http://www.echosvoice.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jonathan Lehrer" <info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, April 26, 2002 5:47 AM Subject: [mso] Re: PowerPoint Producer > > In PowerPoint, you can play two sound files at once, easily, this way: > > Start the first sound file on a slide, and set it to run for multiple > slides.
