Hi,
I use Word XP and Windows XP. I have a document that contains hard to
pronounce names. I would like to embed wave files with the correct
pronunciations but I don't like having to use an icon as the clicking object.
Is there a way to make the names clickable and linked to the embedded wave
files?

I have tried converting the names into icons but the results were not as
high a quality font as I would like.

Thank You, Doug

You could hyperlink the names to the name WAV files, but you would get a
security warning before playing the sound.

Graham,
Thank you for taking the time to reply to my question!

I am going to make this documenmt available as a download to others so it
needs to have everything included in one package. I suppose I could have a
seperate file available for downloading with all of the individual wave files
in it but this would not be as 'clean' a way to do it as having the info
embedded.

Thanks again, Doug

Why not create a web page of the information?

Yes I thought about this. This would solve the linking problem. I had hoped
for a stand-alone document but this may not be possible (or practical). I
don't have a web site but I guess they aren't hard to get these days.

Thanks again for your input Graham,

Doug

Your service provider may offer web space as part of the deal.
