How do I stop Word 'opening as text' a binary file dragged and dropped
from
File Explorer ?


I want to drag a WAV file onto a document and have it appear as an icon so that when the icon is clicked I hear the WAV.
That should happen, and does happen on other computers, but on my home PC
when I drag and drop the WAV file, Word opens it and shows me a text
rendition of the WAV file.
