[Graham Mayor]

I regret I have no further ideas. You could try asking in a forum for your
operating system.

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. Any
other suggestions?

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.

anywhere and need this function. Thanks. Kiwiwaldo

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?

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.

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.
