<p>Nothing makes me feel older than trying to learn a new technology. What makes it even more frustrating is that the class I am taking has nothing to do with learning new technology. No, apparently in this day and age you’re supposed to know how to do power point (which I can) and then how to add audio(are you kidding me!) I’ve already spent more time trying to add the melon farming audio than I did on the power point…</p>
<p>Basically, I’ve got a headphone/mic combo which is properly plugged in. I’ve got Power Point 2007. Under “Insert” in Power Point there is a button “Sound” and one of the options is “Record Sounds.” So, I hit record and say my two brief sentences for the first slide. I’ve tried hitting “stop” then “ok”, vise versa, you name it with any buttons that I can get too. All I wind up with is the sound symbol on the page but if I press it, it just highlights itself. I’ve tried setting the audio to play automatically with slide show but then the sound symbol just sits there while dead air plays.</p>
<p>Is there a trick to this? I’m willing to sell my soul at this point. So frustrating!</p>
