Have you ever watched a PowerPoint presentation that seemed to narrate itself? Or have you seen a slide show that featured applause when the last slide was reached? Then you've heard examples of how audio can be applied to slide shows. PowerPoint allows you insert audio files from your computer, or you can search the Clip Art Studio to find the audio you need. Once you've inserted audio, you can then edit it.

To insert audio from a file on your computer:

1. From the Insert tab, click the Audio drop-down arrow and select Audio from File.
