How to do you put music onto a powerpoint?

Question

I am using Microsoft Powerpoint, and I want to put some music on my slideshow. How do I do that?

Answer 1

1. Select Insert > Movies and Sounds > Sounds from File.

2. Browse to the folder where your song is. Select it and click OK.

3. A message will come up asking if you want to play the sound automatically. Click yes (unless you don't want it to start until you click it or do something else, in which case, click no).

4. Right click on the sound (it looks like a blue speaker) and select Custom Animation.

5. In the Task Pane, you'll see your song listed (and any other objects you have animated). Click the drop-down arrow for your song and select Effect Options.

6. Under Stop Playing, select After ___ slides. Change the number of slides to the total number of slides in your presentation (12). Click OK.

Answer 2

To add a sound clip to your slide show, perform the following steps:



1. Display the slide to which you want to add sound.

2. Use one of the following three methods to insert the sound clip:

* To browse through the Clip Organizer for a sound clip, on the Insert menu, point to Movies and Sounds, and then click Sound from Clip Organizer.



PowerPoint will display the Clip Art task pane and will select Sounds in the Results Should Be drop-down list. You can use the Clip Art task pane to locate a sound clip stored on your computer or on the Office Online Web site.

* To insert a sound clip from an existing sound file on a local disk, a shared network location, or an Internet site (if you haven’t imported the file into the Clip Organizer), on the Insert menu, point to Movies and Sounds, and then click Sound from File.



The Insert Sound dialog box will appear. Select the sound file that you want, and then click the OK button.

Answer 3

The easiest way is to just play a CD on a boombox or a sound system while the slideshow is going.



Powerpoint can also play a CD that is in the laptop and can also play a wave file.



Just type in "powerpoint play cd" in Yahoo - there are a lot of websites that explain it.
