Hi Ruth

Thank you for your question; and welcome to the forum.

If you insert the sound on the first slide (Insert - Movies and Sounds - Sound from File), the sound icon will appear on the slide, once you have selected if you'd like the sounds to play automatically or not.

If you right-click on the sound and choose Edit Sound Object you can tick the Loop until stopped option, if the sound will end before the presentation has finished running through.

The Help feature in PowerPoint is actually very useful regarding using sounds in presentations - if you look up sound you will find a number of related help items.

Kind regards
Amanda

Powerpoint tip:

Presentations with audience appeal

Give your PowerPoint presentations audience appeal by using graphics to help convey your message. Remember pictures paint a thousand words.

PowerPoint makes it easy to add graphics to your presentation by providing several slide layouts which allow you to insert charts or diagrams.

1. Insert a new slide (Insert - New Slide or Ctrl + M).

2. Use the Slide layout task pane to change the slide layout to 'Title and diagram or organisation chart' or 'Title and chart' - simply click on the layout you require to change the existing slide layout.

3. Double click on the diagram or chart placeholder on the slide to create your diagram or chart.

You can also create a diagram or organisational chart using the appropriate button from the Drawing toolbar.
