Step3 - Setting the music to play across multiple slides
A lot of people have asked if it is possible to keep the music playing across multiple slides- for example if you wanted to make a slide show of someone's life with music playing in the background - or it could be a useful feature at a trade show.
You do this using a feature called Custom Animation. Select your music file then
Right click (not the usual left click) and select
Custom Animation. You can do this by selecting Slide
Show >
