little powerpoint help please

[Bolerus]

I "think"this is the correct section of the forums, soooo

I have created a longish (240 slides) powerpoint presentation (even managed to get it to autorun from a cd without the user having to install powerpoint viewer)

To make it feel a bit nicer, I have a cd track converted to mp3 to try and play as background


Followed the instructions to insert the sound file, then set the options so that it should play then stop after 240 slides


but all i am getting is a music/speaker icon on the first slide and no sound at all.

I have checked the mp3 file and it plays on its own.


would any body have any idea at all please.


thanks

Just quickly googled this and found this. Any use? Good question though. I know how to get an mp3 playing for a slide but expanding on that to get the mp3 to play the whole way through a presentation isn't immediately obvious.

after most of the morning experimenting, I have sorted it (kind of )

converted the mp3 to a wav file, and then set the properties of the insert to stop after 240 slides


works a treat
