Question

Playing audio from PowerPoint across all slides?

Hello,

I imported a PowerPoint to Captivate that had an audio file in it. I have 2 questions.

1) I see the little speaker icon from the PowerPoint on the first page, but can't do anything with it. In PowerPoint it was invisible when I played the presentation but not so here. How can I hide it? I can't seem to select it.

2) That audio file in PowerPoint was set to play across all slides as the presentation moved forward. In Captivate the audio plays until it advances to the second slide. How do I get it to keep playing?

Thanks.

Audio files don't transfer very well from PPT to Captivate. 

I recommend you extract all audio files from PPT and insert them separately into your Captivate project.

Better yet, in future projects just ditch PPT altogether and build from the ground up in Captivate.  You'll have much better performance and more creative freedom.
