CP4: Audio on some slides cutting out early

Question

I have some slides where the audio stops a fraction of a second or so too early. That may not sound so bad, but it sends a signal I'm either a bad sound editor or don't know how to speak. How do you suppose I could address this? Add a second or so silent tail to each faulty clip? I recorded these files as .wavs using XP's Sound Recorder and imported them into Captivate, which has always worked dandy for me. What's even more strange is only some slides are affected.

Dan,
I came up with a goofy yet effective fix to this issue. While Cp4, the moody little monster it is, will let you continually add silence to the end of an audio clip for a few minutes at best, I can do the following until the cows come home:
Double-click the audio clip from the timeline, or open it up however you prefer.
Insert your playhead at the end of the clip.
Ensure your microphone is plugged in.
Click the Record button to add some ambient noise. A second or two should do the trick.
Highlight the sound you just recorded, not the entire waveform.
Click Adjust Volume.
Reduce the volume on this portion of the clip to 10% repeatedly until there is no sound at all.
Click OK.
Just as good as Insert Silence, but a bit more labor intensive.
Goofy junk like this makes me glad my shop just ordered some Cp 5.5 licenses.
