I am trying to automatically get PowerPoint from Office365 Mac to automatically transition from one slide to another at the end of an audio clip.  When I goto the Transitions tab --> Sound --> Other Sound, all my MP3 files are greyed out.  What gives?  I am frustrated to no end.

    Seeing as how I have a Macintosh, that makes a whole lot of sense.  Thank you Micro$oft for creating more work for me.

    Hi Timothy,

    Thanks for posting in the forum.

    When you click Other sound to select the custom sound, please make sure the audio file is .wav format. We can insert MP3 as audio file via Insert, but when it comes to slide transition, it takes .wav format.

    Regards,

    Neha
