Digital storybook help

I am working on this digital storybook - I am not sure it is what Dr. S wants but I am just going with my ideas. I have a crazy week the week it is due - report cards due, conferences that Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday so I just have to get it done now and take whatever grade I get. I have never used moviemaker so I am learning the program as I am doing a project that is totally new to me (as I am sure some of you all are doing too) so it is a bit challenging. SO.................. I was wondering if anyone knows how to transition audio so it fades in and out. I am only using a audio clip at the beginning and at the end but I need to get it to slowly fade out and then in and I cant figure out how to do it. I hae gone to the help program but have not found any answers. I am on a Dell computer with windows XP and I am using moviemaker. If anyone knows how to do it, I will be forever indebted to you!!!

Also, all the files she wanted us to download off of the ISU server did not get delivered to my mailbox when I emailed them to myself. If any of you all have them could you email them to my email address at home. It is mdjohnson@q.com. I am using my own storyboard that I found off the web but there were other docs she said we needed to do the project. Thanks to all of your for any help you can send my way.

Hey Debra, I'm not sure if I'll be any help or if you have already figured out windows movie maker...but here goes. When I have made videos through windows, I just drug the audio into the bar and right click it. When you right click, it should have a button to click that will say fade in and fade out. I hope this helps out. If you can't figure it out, bring your laptop and I can look at it at class. Have a great day.
