PowerPoint lets you play your audio files from a certain point within the clip using the Bookmarks option. Bookmarks in PowerPoint are similar to the conventional bookmarks you place within the pages of a book you read. In the same way that you can easily access a particular page with the help of a bookmark, the Bookmark option within an audio clip becomes an indicator of the position you want to play the clip from.

When you select an audio clip in PowerPoint, you will see two extra contextual tabs on the Ribbon. One of these tabs is the Audio Tool Playback tab that provides options to configure properties that define how your inserted audio will play: whether it will play automatically, or will it play audio across slides? Let’s assume that you want your audio to play as a background score across multiple slides. Typically you would have to make four separate choices, but PowerPoint Audio Styles feature lets you automatically apply these four settings at once!

We have already explored the Eyedropper tool in PowerPoint that lets you sample colors from any object within your PowerPoint slide and use that same color as a fill or outline for a shape. But what do you do if the color you want to use exists on a web page, your desktop wallpaper, or anywhere else? The technique to capture a color from outside PowerPoint is little different. In this article, we will explore how you can copy a color from somewhere outside PowerPoint and use it as the fill and outline color of a text.

Sounds come in so many file types: MP3, WMA, or WAV files are just the common types that you can insert in PowerPoint slides. These sound files automatically embed into your presentation; this means that you no longer have to worry about linked files getting misplaced or lost like you had to in previous versions of PowerPoint.
