Controlling the Pausing and Restarting of Music

Pausing music is easy just add an action of pause to the custom animation. You'll find though that if the sound is embedded the music will start again at the beginning and not as you might expect from where you paused it

To get more control over the pausing and restarting use a Windows Media Player Object.

  1. Right click on the Toolbar and select Control Toolbox.

  2. Click on the More Controls button.

  3. Select Windows Media Player.


     

  4. Draw a rectangle in the bottom left or right corner of the slide, large enough to display the controls.

  5. Right click on the control and select Properties.

  6. Click in the Custom field and click on the Browse button in the right corner.

  7. Click on the Browse button and select the file to be played.

  8. Click on the OK button.

You can now play, pause and adjust the volume of your sounds!
