1. Embed sound in PowerPoint 2007 Posted by MeldunMeldun December 7, 2009 To embed sound into PowerPoint 2007, the sound file has to be in a “.WAV” format and not “.MP3”. If it is an mp3 file, the file will be linked rather than embedded. PowerPoint has no way to perform this conversion so to convert your.mp3 to a.wav file you will need a sound editing program. Important. Sounds that are already in the slides will need to be reinserted, or will not be considered embedded. Select the slide you would like the sound to be played on, or to start laying from, then follow these steps.

On the Advanced tab, go to the “Save” section 3. Increase the Link sounds with file size greater than ___ Kb setting to a size just larger than your largest sound file, up to 50,000 KB (50 MB). 4.

2. How to Rehearse Slide Timings in PowerPoint 2007 Posted by MeldunMeldun October 14, 2010 Sometimes when creating a PowerPoint Presentation, It can be difficult to choose the right timing to give the presentation a natural, organic flow. Lucky for us, PowerPoint 2007 has a rehearsal feature that allows the presenter to get a feel for how long the presentation is, and sets the slide transition timings accordingly based on this. The way PowerPoint does this, is by going through the presentation along with us. Each time the mouse is clicked to transition an item or slide, the timing can be recorded. This allows the presenter to get a better feel for how long each slide or item should be screen. This helps to avoid one of the big mistakes of PowerPoint presentations, spending too much time on one slide and boring the audience because of it! So lets get right into the tutorial. Go to the Slide Show tab located in the PowerPoint ribbon Choose Rehearse Timings CONTINUED ON BACK OF POSTER PAGE 1

3. This will begin the PowerPoint presentation but now their will be a Rehearsal dialog box. As you progress through the presentation this dialog box will keep track of how long each slide is displayed. Which is each time you click the mouse or the Next button located in the Rehearsal dialog box. Once this is done you will be asked as if you would like to save these timings. Choosing Yes will assign each slide the timings from the Rehearsal Choosing No will cancel all the timings and allows you to redo the Rehearsal to perfect the timings. Enjoy! PAGE 2
