Sound in presentaions ( wasRe: 75 days and still perking...)
Maybe... But it woud seem to me to only allow you to play a presentation file, not create one. Either way, I don't have it installed... It looks like there's a way, in fact, to get audio into an OOo presentation. I managed to get it to play a WAV file during the presentation, but it places a fairly ugly button on the screen and there doesn't seem to be a way to turn it off :-( On Monday 27 May 2002 08:08 am, Roger Oberholtzer wrote: Would Crossover's Powerpoint player work?

So you mean that OO won't allow adding an audio file, or that it does not survive the export to PP? -- ++===+ | Roger Oberholtzer | E-mail:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | | OPQ Systems AB | WWW: http://www.opq.se/ | | Erik Dahlbergsgatan 41-43 |Phone: Int + 46 8 314223 | | 115 32 Stockholm | Mobile: Int + 46 733 621657 | | Sweden | Fax: Int + 46 8 302602 | ++===+ ___ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.

So you mean that OO won't allow adding an audio file, or that it does not survive the export to PP? It's the adding of an audio file to OO that I'm having difficulty with. My son worked with OO for several hours and only managed to generate transition sounds, but that's not what he wanted. He was in a time crunch so we decided to just use PowerPoint (it was painfully simple with PowerPoint :-( ). Since then, I found out how to add an audio file as a background. The problem now is that you need to put a big 'ol ugly button on the presentation that, once clicked, will play the audio file. And then, once the music starts playing, I can't seem to stop it without exiting OO altogether. In addition, once the button is placed on the presentation, there doesn't seem to be a way to edit it (move it, change it's appearance, delete it, assign a different WAV file...). This is with OO build 641, so it may be different with 1.0.0. I haven't tried exporting to PPT, yet.
