Sound Volume Not Working
On one PowerPoint slide, I inserted a .wav file, which is background music,
that plays along with my narration, which is another .wav file. The Sound Settings under the Effect Options does not increase or decrease the volume when I move the slider. I need to decrease the volume of the .wav file that is playing the music in the background. When I move the slider all the way down, the sound does not play. When I move it up just a hair, it is just as loud as if I move the slider all the way to the top. I installed the Add-In: OfficeOne Volume Control, and that does not adjust the volume, either. Any suggestions?

Sound Volume Not Working
Just to add some info, the Sound Volume setting in PPT applies only to
sounds created by your harddrive. (I think that's how you'd describe it.) That includes files like MID and MIDI. So, the volume setting doesn't actually work on file types like WAV and MP3. You have to change those, as you've discovered, in a sound editing program; PPT plays them "as-is." In fact, I hate that stupid Volume setting -- I wish they'd either label it properly or take it out. -- Echo [MS PPT MVP] http://www.echosvoice.com What's new in PPT 2007? http://www.echosvoice.com/2007.htm Fixing PowerPoint Annoyances http://tinyurl.com/36grcd PowerPoint 2007 Complete Makeover Kit http://tinyurl.com/32a7nx "John Wilson" john AT technologytrish.co DOT uk wrote in message ...
