Thank you in advance for any help, I greatly appreciate it.

I'm on a Mac, OS 10.3.7, and I have OFFICE X. What I want to be able to do
is take all of the relevant snips of sound files I created on my portable
voice recorder and stick each one at the begining of each chapter of a book
I'm working on. Then I can click on each one as necessary to jog my memory.

I know that the new WORD with the Notebook function may be able to do this,
but - obviously - I'm hoping I can do it on the version I have.

Is this possible??

Sorry. You definitely need to repost this question on the MacWord group, as
almost no one here is familiar with Office X and what it can do.
See here for gateway to Mac-specific ngs:

But since this is for editing, not for presentation, and you are using a
multi-tasking computer, I would say it's not really worth the effort.
Easier to maintain the sound clips in a different program which you can open
up alongside, name them ch 1, ch 2, etc.

Since audio in Word documents was a big touted feature in Office 2004, my
guess is you can't do this in Office X--but I may be wrong. Perhaps the
recording was the touted feature, and it does have save and playback
capabilities. Ask on the Mac-specific group.

Dear Daiya,

Thanks for the advice. My apologies if i posted in the wrong place.

Yeah, I'm sure just keeping another app open for the sound files will save
me a lot of aggro in the long run. Doh!

Hi Scallywag,

Not exactly the wrong place. Some answers in Word are the same despite
Mac/win differences--some aren't. It's hard to tell which, though more
exotic features like audio require Mac-specific answers. So do printing
questions. But I also like to publicize the Mac group so that more MacWord
users know about it.

My long document project heavily depended on some 4 programs, and it wasn't
a problem at all, especially with easy keyboard shortcuts on the Mac to
switch between them, and the ease of viewing multiple programs at the same
time. Consolidation isn't always good, especially if you are managing huge
amounts of data. And duplication turns out to be efficient.

You may also find the first few responses on this thread useful:
