I understand that Mp3s cannot be embedded in your
presentation, but is there anyway to make a linked file
automatically start when you slide show is runnning. Any
help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Just went through this. It depends in part on what version you have. I
posted a similar question on 16 Mar, and several others were posted on that
day as well. Go back to that day and look for the posts with subjects...

Music (KKelleyH)
Re: Embedding Music (Troy @ TLC Creative)
Play a audio file (Willa)
Slide show with sound - strange behavior (CR Optiker)

Mine is the last of these. If you read the replies to these, I'm almost
sure you'll find your solution. I ended up being able to either embed WAV
files or link MP3 files to my slide show and have the music play throughout
the show without stopping when the slide changed.

As for making it start when the slide show starts, in PPT 2002 which I am
using, when you INSERT the sound file, you get a popup dialog that asks if
you want it to start automatically. In other versions, I'm not sure if that
comes up or not. I did mine on another computer that had PPT 2000, and I
don't recall if that's how it worked, or if I set it to start automatically
from some "properties" setting or other.

Maybe somebody else can help on that.

If the presentation is on the same system that it was created, then the linked
MP3 file should play.

If the presentation will be used on other systems, then before you insert the
MP3 file into your presentation put the MP3 into the same folder as the
presentation. Make sure when you move the presentation you move the MP3 file and
or any other linked files along with it.

It is using the same system. It will play and bring up
windows media player, but only after I click on it in the
slide show views. Any other thoughts?

Under Custom Animation, set the file to start automatically.
