A QuickTime movie can be just a sound file. In that case don't check Completely play before advancing. Then the music will play throughout the show.
If you insert a picture with the Text Tool selected ( it's the A icon ) you will insert an In-line Graphic. The picture will move as if it were a text character. This means you can't position it easily in your slide.
If you insert a picture with the Pointer Tool selected ( it's the Arrow icon to the left of the Text Tool icon ) you can move the picture around in your slide. It is called a Floating Graphic.
Click on File, Save
If you logged in correctly you should be in the correct folder.
Pick an original name, not slide show ! If someone else happens to pick the same name and saves a file, your file will be erased.
Few things are more frustrating than working an entire period on your slide show and then not being able to save any of your work.
A keyboard shortcut to save a file is Control - S ( on a PC ) or Command - S (on a Mac ) Control = Ctrl, Command = the key with the apple icon.

An in-line graphic acts just like a text character. You can change the size (but not reshape it.). You can center it. The graphic moves with the text. This is useful for a graph that needs to be with a particular text. For the most part you don't want an in-line graphic, you want a floating graphic.
If you insert a floating graphic you'll have much more control over positioning the graphic. Click on the Pointer Tool before inserting a picture. After you insert the graphic, you can put graphics behind the text (Arrange, Move to Back )
For free floating text, draw a text box by holding down the Option Key ( Alt Key on a PC ), pick the Text Tool and drag to form a box over the existing slide. Change the font or style as you wish. Now choose the Pointer Tool to move and resize the text box. Another options is Arrange,Freely Rotate to rotate the text. Don't forget to unclick Free Rotate when you're finished. Use Format, Text Color to change the color. Use Arrange, Move to Back to put the new text box behind the existing graphic.
To see both the graphic and the text, with the Pointer Tool chosen, click on the graphic, choose Options, Text Wrap, Regular. You should keep the graphic at either end of the text lines. If you don't the split text is hard to read.
The gutter is the space between the text and the graphic.
Irregular Wrap will follow the shape of the graphic. If it doesn't turn the Text Wrap off. With the Pointer Tool click on the irregularly shaped drawing tool. Draw an outline around your graphic. Move this graphic to the back ( Arrange, Move to Back ) and wrap the text again ( Options, Text Wrap, Irregular ). Turn the line color off with the palette. Group the two objects ( Click both objects while holding down the Shift Key, then click on Arrange, Group )
(and save it frequently while you are making changes)
