This isn't a Word issue... it's a Windows issue.
Howsomever... On many desktop computers, this feature uses the PC's built-in speaker, not the sound card. You might a) make sure that the PC speaker is actually functional (some aren't) and connected. You might also take a look at the BIOS settings and see if perhaps the PC speaker is disabled for some reason. Or, if yours *does* go throught the sound card... You might double-click the Volume control, choose Options - Properties, and enable all of the controls. In particular, see if you have ones called Aux and/or PC Beep, and make sure they are not muted/disabled. If you don't have those, or if they don't affect it, then try each of the ones that you do have. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Please respond in the newsgroups so everyone can follow along. http://www.herbtyson.com "capthook" wrote in message ...

Any input would be appreciated Rick --capthook Hi Herb: Your advice to activate all the volume controls was good advice; and sure enough not everything was enabled. However the problem persists. It got me to thinking that perhaps there is simply not a speaker installed in the box at all. The computer is not a standard comercial model but was built by a person I no longer am speaking to. At this point I am not familiar enough with the inards of computers to know weather or not this is the case. I know a person who can have a gander and tell if there is indeed a speaker. [Unless you can tell me how to ascertain the existance of said speaker] If not, I would like to thank you for your time and advice. Rick -capthook |
