I have an hour-long speech mp3 recording and a 35-slide powerpoint. I don't
want to cut up the speech. How do I connect the two and set slides to change
when the speech reaches specific points?
 
it means an average of nearly 2 minutes per slide...Don't you think that
might be too long?
Anyway, take a chronometer to know at what duration you want to change
fisrt, second..And so forth slide.
Then Animation ribbon and on the right, choose Automatic after... Choose the
duration you need before the new slide appears automaticaly
 
OK, and how do I connect the whole sound file to the whole powerpoint?

Thanks for the help, it's working perfectly now. EXCEPT it doesn't work on
Macs. How do I get the sound file and the automatic transitions to work on a
Mac?

Play sounds across multiple slides (A WAV runs through it)

For some reason, sound and automatic transitions for the online version now
are not working on my PC. How do I format the file to open in slide show
view? In this way, the sound and automatic transitions should start
automatically for the online version.
 
When I upload a .pps version to the web, the sound and automatic slide
transitions also do not work.
 
The slide transitions are now working in the online version.

As for the sound, I "inserted" the file then changed Custom
Animations/Effect Options per the above. Is this the same thing as
"linking"? Should I upload the sound file? Do I attach the uploaded sound
file instead, and if so, how?

Meanwhile, neither the slide transitions nor the sound work in Mac, and not
a single reply in the Mac PowerPoint Discussion Group.
 
I inserted the sound per your March 20 message above, to play for 999 slides.
The .ppt works fine on my PC.

Per your advice, I went to http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00155.htm and installed
the PFCExpress add-on. Unfortunately, this is for emailing .ppts with sound,
not uploading them to the web. Did I install the wrong add-on, or do I not
understand how it works?

Please tell me how to "embed" the sound file. I know how to "insert" it,
because that is what I did. I have no way of knowing how to "link" or
"embed" it.

I tried emailing the link to the uploaded file to you (rather than posting
it publically here), but your email address bounced it back. Do you have a
good email address?
 
It's working now, at least on a PC. However, there is a big problem. MP3s
cannot be embedded, so I had to convert it to WAV, which is more than 10x
bigger. 50000KB takes 15 minutes to download, which is too long. The WAV is
also 52 minutes long, so the only way to reduce it below 50000KB was to
reduce it to 8kHz Mono, which sounds dreadful. Why can't I embed an MP3?
Isn't there some smaller file format I can embed?
