Add Multimedia Effects

You’re excited about presenting on a multimedia computer, and you’ve got some ideas: You want to add a movie clip for some comic relief, and you want to add a sound effect to a slide that plays only if you click an item on that slide. During breaks, you’d also like to play tracks from a music CD.

Insert a media clip   Add interest by inserting a movie or sound clip in your presentation. Click Sounds and Movies (Insert menu), and then click a command on the submenu. Play tracks from a music CD   Click Sounds and Movies, and then click Play CD Audio Track to display the Play Options dialog box. You can play one or more contiguous tracks from a music CD loaded into your computer’s CD-ROM drive. Control playback   Click Custom Animation (Slide Show menu). On the Play Settings tab, you can specify when to play media clips or CD tracks. For example, you can have a media clip or CD track play only when you click on an item, as soon as the slide is displayed, or during any step of an animation.
