Hello,



After a Google search a came across this forum and thought it would be a good place for my question :

I want to make a presentation with two slides and background music. The two slides are alternating every 10 seconds.
My backgroundmusic is 5 minutes long.

Is it possible to show the alternating two slides for 5 minutes long (or even better : untill the music stops?).

The slideshow is working fine but the music restarts when the slideshow loops.

I'm using Powerpoint 2013

Thanks in advance for any answers.

There used to be a way but it was broken in 2010. My guess is it's still broken (haven't tried)

The only way I know know now is to duplicate the slides 15 times. Not elegant but should work.

Hello John,

Thanks for your reply. Too bad it isn't possible anymore in version 2010 and higher. Your suggestion to duplicate the slides isn't a bad one but one of the slides shows an agenda which is updated from time to time.
I'm making this for someone else (with hardly no computer knowledge) so it has to be easy to update the agenda.

In addition I wanted to make a MP4 file from the two slides and the music. But that's not going to happen, I guess. The MP4 file shows the two slides and ends....
I can edit audio and slides with moviemaker but this cannot be done by the person who is going to update the agenda.

If anyone has another suggestion, please let me know.
