Page 1 | Page 2

A new window will pop up where you will be asked to select the file you wish to add. Browse to the WAV file, highlight it and click on OK..

A window will pop up asking you how you would like to have the sound file play. You can either select "Automatically", which has the sound file play as soon as the slide is loaded, or you can select "When Clicked", and have the sound file play when you click on the slide. If you want the sound to play automatically, but start playing later than the beginning of the slide, see the section below on how to Set Up a Sound to Play Automatically. You have now inserted the WAV file in the slide. It will appear as the icon.

To Set Up a Sound to Play Automatically:

A new toolbar labeled 'Custom Animation' will appear on the right hand side of the screen. You should see your sound file in the list. Click the to the right of the media item in the list and select Start After Previous in the pulldown menu.

Next click the one more time, but this time select Timing.

Next in the 'Triggers' Section make sure 'Animate as part of click sequence' is selected (if the 'Triggers' section is not visible, click on the button to expand it)

Click OK and you're done! The sound will now play automatically within the presentation. You can also click on the icon during a presentation to play the sound again. If you do not need this feature, then drag the speaker icon off of the slide to hide it in the presentation.
