SYMPTOMS
When you add a CD audio track to your presentation in Microsoft PowerPoint 2001 for Mac, and then you view the presentation, the audio track may continue to play past the end point you set.
CAUSE
This behavior occurs because the CD driver ignores the end point setting you assigned to the CD audio track from PowerPoint.
WORKAROUND
To work around this issue, you can record the audio track from the CD to an embedded file in the presentation. To do this, follow these steps:
- On the Apple menu, click Control Panel, and then click Sound.
- In the Sounds control panel, click Input in the left list box, and then click Internal CD in the Choose a device for sound input box.
- Select the Play sound through output device check box, and then close the Sound control panel.
- In Microsoft PowerPoint 2001 for Mac, open your presentation, and then select the slide where the sound is to be added.
- On the Apple menu, click Programs, click Applications, click AppleCD Audio Playerf, and then click AppleCD Audio Player.
- Start the CD playing on the track prior to the one from which you want to record the sound.
- Switch to PowerPoint. On the Insert menu, click Movies and Sounds, and then click Record Sound.
- When the CD Audio Player begins playing the correct track, click Record.
- Click Stop after the sound is finished playing, and then click Save.
- Give the file a name, and then click OK.
Note: The Record Sound dialog is modal, so you need to start running the CD audio track before opening the dialog.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
