How Do I Get the Audio File to Play on Each Slide in My PowerPoint Without Clicking It?

If you are asking this question, I'm assuming you have created a sound recording or audio file for each slide using the Insert>Sound>Record Sound in PowerPoint 2007. The audio file you created is represented by an icon in the shape of a gold speaker. To get to the Sound Tools for each audio file on each slide, click on the speaker icon on each slide to select it. Look to the Ribbon now and you will see the the Sound tab. Click on the Sound tab to show the Sound Tools. This is what you should see:


With the Sound Tools showing click on the down arrow next to Play Sound and select Automatically. Then click back to the Animation tab on the Ribbon. To set each slide to play the length of the audio file, click on each slide. (This is where you need to know how long the recording is.) Select Automatically After: and set the time for how long that audio recording is. To set the time click on the up and down arrows next to the digital reading.

If you do not remember how long the audio file is you can find out by clicking on Animation>Custom Animation>Go to the side panel on the right of the screen>Click on down arrow next to Recorded Sound>Select Effect Options.
A new window opens> Select the Sound Settings tab. In this window you will see the Total Playing Time for the audio file. The Total Playing Time is the time you need to put in the Automatically After: digital timer mentioned above.
