15.16: Discussion- Audio Integration
In this module, we discussed integrating charts, tables, hyperlinks, and videos into Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint and importing external data into Access. These objects were found in both external (internet) and internal (within existing files) sources. PowerPoint has audio options that can be integrated into slides. Like videos, audio can be uploaded from external sources, trimmed, and edited.
Audio options can be integrated into PowerPoint from the Insert tab by uploading an audio file from your computer.
There are a variety of options available for audio, which you can see in the Audio Tools>Playback tab ribbon. Like video, audio can be timed or started with a mouse click. You can play the audio across all slides, run it on a loop until stopped, or fade it in or out.
