Adding music to a powerpoint presentation

Hi, which version of PowerPoint do you use? Take PowerPoint 2003 for example. PowerPoint 2007 is similar with it. Here are the steps:

1. Open PowerPoint and display the slide where you want the music to begin. On the Insert menu, point to Movies and Sounds, and then click Sound from File. Locate the folder that contains the sound file and then double-click the file you want.

2. When a message is displayed, click to play the music or sound automatically.

Tips:

Hope these hope.

Does the music file play when you click on it? (Drag the sound icon someplace visible on your slide and preview it.)

If it does play when you click on it, you just need to animate the music. The sound file has to be a part of your slide animation--that's what tells it when to start/stop playing. When you insert a sound file, PPT may ask you whether you want it to start automatically or wait to be clicked.

Or, you can right-click an existing sound file and go CUSTOM ANIMATION. Depending on your version of PPT, what happens next will be different. But you should be able to set the sound file to play when the slide displays without being clicked.
