On Microsoft Powerpoint 2007 how do you get one song to play throughout the entire slideshow?

When I added a song to the slideshow everytime I went to a new slide the song started over so how do I get it to play all the way through without starting over.?

    I think you just mean add background music.

    After inserting music into PowerPoint, you can set up the effect of the sound:

    1. Click animations tab, then click the custom animation, you can see a pop-up window.

    2. Click the sound file that you want to set, Click the drop down arrow of the music item you just added from the Custom Animation list and select Effect Options.

    3. A window named Play Sound displays. Select After and then set the total number of slides .Now when you select OK and exit the custom animation box, your sound will continue to play.

    Here is a video tutorial:

    You also can set up it with a third tool:

    Hope can help you@~

  • Insert the music file, select the music icon on the slide and go to the Sound Tools tab at the top, Options tab.

    You should see a pulldown menu that says Play Sound. It will probably be set at Automatically (or When Clicked depending on what you chose). Pull it down and select Play Across Slides.

    That should do it for you!

    sure. On MS PowerPoint 2007 bypass to the insert tab and discover the media menu. interior the media menu it would say something like sound or music. click that button and discover the music you opt for and import it. Then click on the innovations of the music and set it to loop by the entire presentation.
