Slide Show question

[JimP]

I MS Office 2003 I created a slide show with music to document my granddaughters early years and did so without any problems.

Today, in MS 2007, I am trying to do a similar presentation to for my in-laws (my wife's sister & husband) 50th wedding anniversary. I have all the slides lined up, the sound clip plays fine yet, the presentation will not advance from slide-to-slide (45 slides total). It stays on the 1st slide and does not move. I have read/listened to many instruction guides offered by MS but have yet to solve my problem.

I would appreciate any input offered. Thanks.

Do you have the slides set to advance automatically, but the sound is only on one slide... making the slide show wait for the sound clip to end? If that could be it,...

1. Select the sound icon on the slide.
2. On the Animations tab, in the Animations group, click Custom Animation.
3. 
4. In the Custom Animation task pane, click the arrow to the right of the selected sound in the Custom Animation list, and then click Effect Options.
5. On the Effect tab, under Stop playing, click After, and then select the total number of slides on which the file should play.

Note The sound file should be as long as the specified display times of the slides. You can see the length of the sound file on the Sound Settings tab, under Information.

Thanks Kim for your input. Unfortunately, I have already tried that (along with others) without positive results. However, I have since elected to try another MS feature (Movie Maker)...I will see how that works.
