can I create sound files in word 2007
How can I create sound files in 2007 word documents. I teach school and
when in school and using Word 2003 all I had to do was InsertObjectCreate file[tab] then select Wav file. Connect a microphone and record the spoken message using the simple record,stop, and save facilities. In Word 2007 this facility [the wav file]appears to be absent OR I cannot find it!!!! I thought I'd be able to find a way to do it under Insert but haven't been able to figure it out. Thanks.

Thinsgs definitely are in different oplaces in the 07 release. The function
still appears to be available. You did not specify yoru O.S. I am using Word07 on WIN XP. In Word07 it is listed on Insert tab Text group Object WAV file. Then the Sound recorder opens and records the file. Admittedly the only way I got teh sound to play again was to RC teh icon and select play. hth "welshman" wrote: How can I create sound files in 2007 word documents.

can I create sound files in word 2007
Hi Welshman,
If you're in Windows Vista the Windows Sound recorder uses Windows Media Audio (.WMA) files rather than .WAV files. You can add the Sound recorder to the Quick Access Toolbar from Office Button=Word Options=Customize=All commands category by choosing the 'Voice Comment' command. ========== "welshman" wrote in message ...

can I create sound files in word 2007
A microphone is a piece of mechanical hardware and not a part of the
operating system? Questions about the operating system and its functions should be addressed to a Vista forum. This one is for Word. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Daphne, wrote: I have windows vista, i believe the microphones are built in, i have downloaded word pad, which i dont think i need how do i get rid of it and use the recorder that come with vista home basiec daphne "Bob Buckland ?:-)" wrote: Hi Welshman, If you're in Windows Vista the Windows Sound recorder uses Windows Media Audio (.WMA) files rather than .WAV files.

can I create sound files in word 2007
Adding 'voice comment' asks for a file to be inserted. I am interested in
having the recorder to start in stead. When I give my pupils (with a need of speaking rather than writing) this document, they can click an ('answer:'+)icon starting a sound recorder making the icon linked to the saved wma after closing. Is that possible? Bob Buckland ?:-) skrev: Hi Welshman, If you're in Windows Vista the Windows Sound recorder uses Windows Media Audio (.WMA) files rather than .WAV files.

can I create sound files in word 2007
Did you add the 'Voice Comment' tool to the QAT?
If you did, have you set the default sound recording device in Windows to a source that has a microphone attached? e.g. in my system I have the default recording device set to my web cam, which has a built-in microphone. No valid recording device and you get an error message. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org kiwiwaldo wrote: Ottar - did you ever sort this out?

can I create sound files in word 2007
Thanks Graham. I tried the Voice Comment and Insert Voice in the QAT. A
default microphone is set in the sounds (Ctrl Panel) and working. when I click the VC or IV up pops 'Create package' and asks for a file. Have tried two mikes, including webcam. still doesn't work.

I regret I have no further ideas. You could try asking in a forum for your
operating system. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org kiwiwaldo wrote: Thanks Graham. I tried the Voice Comment and Insert Voice in the QAT.
