Do you want to add a sound track to your PowerPoint presentation so that it plays across slides. Also, don't you want the music to continue playing without any interruption? A soothing background music score playing across your presentation slides can be a good move, as long as its not distracting your audience. Of course, if a live speaker is spearheading the presentation, then, it goes without saying that you avoid adding a sound that spans across slides. Not only will the sound spanning across slides distract the audience, but the speaker will be at a distinct disadvantage. However, if you are showing a sequence of slides that include pictures, and no live presenter is required to speak to the audience, then adding a sound across slides may be a great idea.
As far as possible, work with a presentation that has been saved at least once. And copy the sound clip you want to loop to the same folder as the presentation.
Here's, how you go about doing this task in PowerPoint 2010 for Windows:
The Audio Tools Playback tab is a contextual tab. Contextual tabs are special tabs in the Ribbon that are not visible all the time. They only make an appearance when you are working with a particular slide object which can be edited using special options.
