Hi ?B?c3RyaWtlZm9yY2U=?=,

How can I insert a mp3 sound file into a microsoft word doc.
If I can, can I make it open automatically at the recipent's end?

You can drag it from Windows Explorer onto the document. Possibly,
you could also go over Insert/Object/From file.

When such an object is double-clicked you do get a warning that it
could be "evil" (viruses), so there's no way Word is going to play
this on its own.

You can place a macro named AutoOpen in the document, that will
execute when the document is opened and play the object (assuming
that the recipient has software associated with the mp3 extension).
But the user will still get the warning message.

Sub AutoOpen()
ActiveDocument.InlineShapes(1).OLEFormat.Activate
End Sub
