Formatting the audio icon

By default, an audio file will show up as a speaker icon in the slide. If you want, you can change the icon to a different picture, and you can apply all of the different types of image formatting that you would apply to a picture such as Artistic Effects and Picture Styles, which are accessed in the Format tab.

To change the icon to a different picture:

1. Select the audio icon in the slide.
2. From the Format tab, select the Change Picture command. The Insert Picture dialog box will appear.
