| Good day,
Is there a way to control the animation by bottons. I know how to use the trigger effect, but what I want is to be able to move an image side ways using two buttons (left and right). Is this possible? |

Hi Bob,
many thanks for your question.
In short Bob, it's really more a question of what you are trying to achieve with your presentation? For example, if you have produced a self-running presentation, and your intention is to loop a sound track or background music loop to the presentation, such that the loop should trigger precisely on a slide transition, then you may wish to look at Microsoft's Producer 2002 Bob.
Scott Harvey has ran a series of tutorials in recent newsletters outlining the product and how to make the best use of it etc., if you take a look at
the tutorials, you'll see that in the second part of the tutorial Scott discusses how to synchronize audtion and video with slides and images.
If on the other hand Bob, your thoughts are more around a sound effect, or music loop playing on the slide transition itself, then of course one needs to look at applying the sound to the slide transition through the File main menu, Slide Show > Slide Transition.
I'm only too happy to be of help Bob, so please do mail me at markf@123powerpoint.com if you would like to discuss your thoughts in more depth, so that I can assist you further.
Regards,
Mark Farrow, Multimedia Director 123Powerpoint.com

| Hello Mark, can you please tell me how I can play one music track from a CD across my whole PowerPoint presentation? |
|

Hi Kieran,
To play CD music across a PowerPoint presentation, simply:
- Open the presentation you wish to play your music track in and go to the first slide, or create a new blank presentation in PowerPoint.
- Select "Movies and Sounds" from the Insert menu option.
- Select the "Play CD Audio Track" from the sub menu.
- Check the "Loop until stopped" box beneath the Play options. This will cause the track to loop and play until the presentation is finished.
- Under Start in the Play CD audio track options, enter the track number of the CD track that you wish to play across your PowerPoint presentation. If you do not wish to play the whole track continuously, but wish to only loop and play a segment of the track, enter the starting point in the At field, or leave the fields at the default 00:00, to play from the start of the selected track.
- Under End in the Play CD audio track options, enter the number of the CD track that you wish to play plus one. For example, if you wish to play and loop track 3 off a CD in your PowerPoint presentation, enter 4 in the Track field beneath End.
If you wish for the track to begin playing automatically select Yes. If not, select No.
A sound icon is now displayed on the slide. Drag the icon off the slide and into any of the surrounding space.
- Right click the sound icon and select Custom Animation from the menu.
Select Effect Options, and select the radio button beside Stop Playing after XXX slides on the Effects tab.
- Enter 999 in the box, allowing the track to play throughout every slide of the presentation.
- Select Settings beneath the Timing tab whilst still in Custom Animation. To play the Cd track automatically, the timing should be set to Start After Previous with a 0 second delay. Click OK.
And that's it Kieran. you're good to go!
Let me know if there's anything further I can help you with.
Regards,
Mark Farrow, Multimedia Director 123Powerpoint.com
