slideshow

Hello, I have excel files with the following header:

Caption
Sound: Location of sound file
Image: Location of image file

How can I make a slideshow from this? Each slide should show image, caption, and play sound automatically according to the excel list. I don't care what software I use, if I can get the job done. Total slides ~10,000.
In case interested,this is review material for English second language students. Any help appreciated,
Thanks
