How to Insert Sound Files in a Powerpoint Presentation
Can you imagine using one of your favorite songs in one of your powerpoint presentations for school or work? Well with 2007 Powerpoint, you can and it’s so easy. In this tutorial, I will show you how to insert a sound file into a slide within a Powerpoint presentation.
1. Go to Start>Programs>Microsoft Program to open the program. Open the presentation that you will be working on. Find the slide where you want to insert the sound clip. Remember to keep the sound files in the same folder as the presentation so they have the same location in your computer. Please Note: You can use either one of the following sound files: .MIDI, .MID, .MP3, .WAV, and .WMA.
2. Go to Insert>Sound, hit the “Sound” button and find the sound file and click OK.
3. Finally, you will be asked if you want the sound file to be played automatically or when you click the Sound clip, so depending on your need, click “Automatically” or “When Clicked.”
4. Now, whenever this particular slide with the sound file comes up, you will notice a little sound icon on the slide indicating that the slide has sound files embedded on it.
Good Job! Now your slides can play music and your audience will certainly enjoy it.
