powerpoint, Custom Slide Transition Times

1. Slide transition cancels custom animation timing pp2002

2. Slide transition timing is too long - can't adjust

I am creating a PowerPoint 2004 slideshow (on a Mac Powerbook G4) with
sound files embedded on each slide.  I would like the slide to
transistion when the sound is done.  I have set the transition to
automatic after 0 seconds, the sounds have no extra "dead air" before
or after them, and the sounds are set to start automatically with a
slide change.  I am still getting a 7-10 second delay between sound
files, and I can't seem to fix it.  I have done this before
successfully and I can't seem to locate the cause of the problem.  Any
help is greatly appreciated!

3. Slide Transition Timing

4. Timing slide transitions to music

I have been learning how to run PPT presentations along with music.  From 
what I've been reading in the discussion group, it sounds like imbedding 
music in a presentation and having it play throughout the whole slide show 
can be tricky.  However, it can be done.

I have an additional twist to this question.  I want my slides to change at 
specific points in the music.  I've tried to time the presentation and adjust 
the transitions accordingly by setting each slide to change after so many 
seconds.  This approach has not worked however.  Invariably the timing gets 
off.  AND, if that wasn't bad enough, when I then take the presentation to 
another computer, it runs at a different pace that it did on the one I 
created the presentation on.  (Why this is I don't know.)

Is it possible to create a presentation in PowerPoint that has this sort of 
tight timing?  Or, is there some other software that would be better for this 
purpose?

Thanks in advance for your help.

5. Trouble w/Slide transition - 2nd Time

6. I want sound to play over many slides using timed transitions

Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2003 I want to do a presentation that plays a WAV 
file beginning at the first slide and continuing throughout the entire 
presentation uninterupted by slide transitions.  I want the slide to advance 
automatically on a slide by slide timed basis.  I have been successful at 
getting the WAV file to play across multiple slides by using the sound option 
of the slide transition menu.  However, only works if I advance the slides 
manually by clicking on each slide when I want it to change.  I want to be 
able to just let the presentation run without intervention.  When I try to 
advance the slides on a timed basis, the WAV file goes back to the beginning 
and starts playing all over again.  In other words, with each slide I get the 
same 3 or 4 words of the song on the WAV file repeated over and over again.  
I have not been successful at getting this to work if I insert the WAV file.

8. slide transition timing is out of sequence

I have 29 slide finished, I recorded my own song as part of the whole slide. 
I as  reherse the timing manually using mouse. During the process while the 
music is playing the timing in page trasnsition are all exactly perfect the 
way I want it to present . But when I turn on the slide show or watch the 
slide show two to three slides are in right timing in sequence and the rest 
are out of timing in sequence. The trsansition of pages are faster than waht
