"Easy" is a relative term, Andrew. And right now, "easy" is coming hard here, to this newbie.
Had been through the ritual both Andrew and Mike suggest. And tried again now. What happens is that the song plays for the length of time the slide is on the screen; then, whether the slide is advancing on a timed basis or by mouse click, the song stops and then starts over on the next slide. Whether the "Loop" box is checked seems not to matter either. Mike mentioned this would happen if the "Apply to all Slides" button were pushed; but I can't see how to unpush it. Still baffled, but appreciate the help from you each. (Moved the top of this thread back onto the bottom; it got onto another thread). Cheers! And thank you.
