Sorry if this is a silly question, but why exactly do you want to record
a voice in Publisher? Publisher is a program for print output; you can't
print a sound. Even if you're creating a website in Publisher, the sound
(as far as I know) won't transfer to the web.

Use an audio application for audio files. Sound Recorder can be started
in Start All Programs Accessories
