I can't speak for others. But I have never used rehearsals as they are
associated with PowerPoint.

| Funny you should mention that ... I do plan to modify the music with
| Audacity, however, I hadn't considered splicing them all together.
This'll
| be the first time I worked with more than one piece of music. The are
| currently all in MP3 format as far as I know ... I'll be given the last of
| the music tomorrow night. Audacity is a great little piece of software
for
| these types of tasks. I've used it for single tunes ... for fade ins or
out
| and/or changed the tempo to suite ... that kind-a stuff. It's probably
the
| way to go.
|
| Thanks for the tip.
|
| Having said all of this ... I take it the rehearsals aren't the way to go
as
| no one has really addressed it. Can I assume it's not very reliable????
|
|
| | Are all the music selections MP3? If so why don't you splice them all
| together into one selection using something like Audacity, and then time
| your transitions to match the length of your musical selection

| || That would work if there wasn't music added as a variable.
|| I have to time the slides so that the music plays across a requisite
| number
|| of slides (yet to be determined - according to how long the music is and
| the
|| number of slides for each segment) ... then another song will plan over
|| another set of slides ... and so on. There's about 8 pieces of music.
||
|| Does that better explain what I'm after.
||
|| || You don't have to rehearse timings to autorun the presentation.
||
|| Instead, go to View | Slide Sorter, select all the slides, and then go to
|| Slide Show | Slide Transition, select "automatically after," and type 5
in
|| the box. This will transition your slides automatically every 5 seconds,
|| which I find to be a pretty good duration for images. You can change some
| to
|| 3 or 4 if you want, but in my opinion, 1 is way too fast and much more
| than
|| 5 feels too slow.
