Insert Audio (Sound)
Sounds come in so many file types: MP3, WMA, or WAV files are just the common types that you can insert in PowerPoint slides. These sound files
automatically embed into your presentation; this means that you no longer have to worry about linked files getting misplaced or lost like you had
to in previous versions of PowerPoint. Even then, it is a good practice to keep your sound files in the same folder in which you save your
PowerPoint 2016 presentation even before you insert them, as we show you in the following steps.
Sound Across Slides
After inserting an audio file, such as a music file within your PowerPoint presentation, do you want to play this sound track across slides
without any interruption when you move from one slide to another? Firstly, if a live speaker is spearheading the presentation, then you don't
want to add a sound that spans across slides. Why? Because then the sound will distract the audience, and also the speaker. However, if you are
showing a sequence of slides that includes pictures and no live presenter is required to speak to the audience, then adding a sound across slides
may be a great idea. Even then, a soothing background music score playing across your presentation slides can be a good fit. Stay away from loud
or jarring tracks.
Sound Across Specific Slides
Once you add a sound track, such as a music clip, to your PowerPoint presentation, you can let the inserted audio span across all your slides
from the first one to the last by selecting the Play Across Slides option. That's great if you need the same music playing on all your slides.
But what if you want the music to play only across some successive slides? What if you want the music to play from slide 1 to 12, and let all
subsequent slides play without any music? Or you may want to add another audio clip for the next set of slides? Either way, it is possible to
limit the number of slides that your music will play across.
Advanced Eyedropper Options
We have already explored the Eyedropper tool in PowerPoint 2016 that lets you sample colors from any object within your PowerPoint slide and use
that same color as a fill or outline for a shape. But what do you do if the color you want to use exists on a web page, your desktop wallpaper,
or anywhere else? The technique to capture a color from outside PowerPoint is little different. In this article, we will explore how you can copy
a color from somewhere outside PowerPoint and use it as the fill and outline color of a text.

Remove Digital Signatures
When your PowerPoint presentation is digitally signed and shared, it helps to validate your identity. At times, you may want to remove a digital
signature attached to your PowerPoint presentation. Why? Maybe you want it signed by someone else, you may want to use another signature, or
maybe there's no need for a particular presentation to be signed anymore. Follow these steps to remove the digital signature from a PowerPoint
presentation in PowerPoint 2013.
