In PowerPoint, how can I set a sound to play automatically, without clicking on it?

Insert->Movies and Sounds->Sound from file\n\nThen, when it asked if I wanted to automatically play it, and I said yes.\n\nIf you need to, right click the sound icon and go to Properties and make sure the Object Action is Play.

Go to the Control Panel in Windows (start button).  Select the item for "Sounds and Audio Devices".  A "Sounds and Audio Devices Properties" dialog will appear.  Choose the "Sounds" tab.  Now look for the large box at the bottom of that tab.  The box is labeled: "Program Events".\n\nScroll through the list of events.  Do you see one for Yahoo Email (new mail; mail alert; ...)?  Select the event you wish to edit.  Now select the Browse button to choose a new sound.  The sounds that may be chosen must be in WAV format.\n\nThese instructions are shown at the e-Speaking website\n(http://www.e-speaking.com/sounds.htm).\n\nDo you need new sounds?  There are several sounds you may download through the Internet to your computer.\n\nCheck out the sample "Mail" sounds ( http://www.e-speaking.com/esm/mail/ ).

Oh.. I know exactly how to do it but to explain... difficult. You have it in there already.. good.. I suppose it is an icon or something .. right? right click on it and I believe you will have a choice of having it play to /thru certain slides if I remember correctly.. Instead of saying, quit after thee 10th or so slides.. select(I believe it is still there) 200.. that is.. stop after the 2100th slide(which of course, does not exist)... YOU CAN DO IT... I did it several times.. You have to play around with that icon(music) and right click here and there..I LOVE PowerPoint and have ALL sorts of things in it

Turn on sounds in Windows Control Panel.\n\nSet the right option in Outlook/Outlook Express/Thunderbird

Every application you use that produces sound, has some kind of setting that you can change to turn off sound. In your case, looks like you are talking about AOL. Look under Setup and the Preferences and then mail and click the sounds button to pop up another window and uncheck the play sound when being notified of new mail checkbox. If your version of aol is different then the step to get to the setup might be different, but I hope you get the idea.

Start > Control Panel > Sounds and Audio Devices > Sounds > Sound Scheme: In the drop down window you have options of Windows Default or No Sounds, or you can go to Program Events: and change/uncheck the box for specific sounds, or get creative and change them to any sound scheme you care for.\nThe one that is annoying you is the "Windows XP Menu Command.wav"

Hi Dear,\n\nSeems you are new to powerpoint!\n\nTo start with open your powerpoint select a new presentation. \nafter customising your presentation needs for the slide, you go to the file menu & select inser new slide several times till you have your sixteen slides.\n\nNext you can either go to the slideshow on the file menu and select customise animation which will offer you several slide transposition  effects and the option to add music to you presentation. there you can configure the music you want for your slides.\n\nIn Office 2003, you can go to insert menu and select add movies and sound option, but I am not sure whether this option is available in office 2000. Anyway you can check it if you want.\n\nFor any additional help you are most welcomed!
