How do I trigger an mp3 file start using a hot key. I want to set a key say the "f" key or the "ALT+9" key combo to start an mp3 file playing

Cheers
 
I think Chirag Dalal has an addin that'll do you nicely.

Create hotkeys ( keyboard shortcuts ) to macros and menu items

Hi Steve,

Thanks for heads up on Chirag's page. I checked it out, it is an executable file designed for Publisher not for powerpoint. I am sure it would work for powerpoint however you have to pay for it and I really need is some pointers on how do code it in VB.

Cheers,

strober

Hello,

PowerPoint doesn't have that ability (without having to resort to VBA or
add-ins which means that it won't work when using the PowerPoint Viewer).

If you (or anyone else reading this message) think that it's important to
have additional triggers for actions and animations (such as keystroke
triggers) during slide show (without having to resort to VBA or add-ins),
don't forget to send your feedback to Microsoft at:

http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp

As with all product suggestions, it's important that you not just state
your wish but also WHY it is important to you that your product suggestion
be implemented by Microsoft. Microsoft receives thousands of product
suggestions every day and we read each one but, in any given product
development cycle, there are only sufficient resources to address the ones
that are most important to our customers so take the extra time to state
your case as clearly and completely as possible.

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions)
