music does not stop

I am creating a large presentation using 2003. The client created an
animation sequence that includes audio. I inserted the pages into my
presentation. It works, but whoever created the sequence added music to it.
I guess that they have it set up to play until the end of the slide
presentation, because it keeps looping. I need the music to stop after the
animation sequence (about 10 slides). I cannot find a music icon anywhere
on the pages. I don't know where else to look to try and fix it. Any
suggestions?

If you are trying to see it while in presentation mode there is a way to turn off the sound icon from viewing, or it may be placed outside the slide itself. Try going to the page where it starts, select slide show, custom animation, the sound file should be found there. Right click on it and go to effect options, then check stop play and select after. Enter 10 if that's the number of slides you want to play through. The sound will play through the next 10 slides then quit on number 11.
 
on the slide where the music starts. click on Slideshow, Slide Transition
and select "No sound" from the sound source

If you cant see the icon as Michael says its probalby a transition sound.

If you save the file as html (web page) you will get a folder which will
include the sound file. Reinsert it as a normal sound file and set to stop
after 10 slides

OR

on slide 11 insert a short transition sound such as a click, this should
stop the first sound
