How Do I Add Music to My MS Powerpoint?

Music can make a Powerpoint presentation more interesting.

Microsoft Powerpoint is a presentation software package that allows you to easily create professional looking presentations. The software is fairly straight forward, and users can add basic content to slides simply by typing inside of a text box on a slide. Powerpoint also has some advanced features that allow you to add multimedia files to your slides. You can add music to slides to make them more interactive and stimulating to the audience.

Instructions

1. Launch Microsoft Powerpoint and select a slide where you will add music. Slides are displayed on the left column of Powerpoint. Click on a slide to select it.

2. Click the "Insert" tab and then click the "Sounds" option located in the "Media Clips" menu on the right side of the screen.

3. Select a source for your music file. You can choose from "Sound from file" or "Sound from clip organizer." If you have a specific music file on your computer you want to add to your Powerpoint presentation, choose "Sound from file." If you want to add music from the Powerpoint clip art gallery, choose "Sound from clip organizer."

4. Browse your computer or the art gallery and find the music file you want to add to your Powerpoint presentation.

5. Select the music file you want to add by double-clicking the file. The file is now added to your presentation.
