PPT - I want to know when a cd (audio) track ends so I can put in another.
How do you figure that out without listening to entire (5 minute) sound clip
each time?
 
Do you have the first one set to stop after a certain number of slides? If
so, insert the second audio in the very next slide.

If the first and second sounts are both playing in the same slide, insert
the second one then set it to play "After Previous."

For example - a song is 5 minutes long and ends at slide 60. I then make
some timing adjustments, add a slide, take out a few etc. So now I want ot
know when it ends. Do I have to listen to all 5 minutes from the start (slide
1) or can I go to Slide 50 and start there? Is there like a timeline view
that matches slides with audio?
 
Ummm, you could read the label on the CD to see exactly how long the music
is. <g>

I think Rob needs to know what slide the presentation will be on when the
allotted music has elapsed.

Rob, PPT's not even guaranteed to play the presentation the same way twice,
even on the same computer; it might be on slide 50 when the music runs out
this time then on slide 49 or 53 the next time.

Synching against sound or any kind of timeline is not something PowerPoint
does, unfortunately.
