Adding a Sound File to a Word Document

Summary: Word documents are more than just text. Word allows you to easily add multimedia elements, such as sound files. This tip explains how you can do this.

If you are the type that likes to give your documents a slant toward multimedia, Word 2007 allows you to insert sound files in your document. This is done in this manner:

  1. Position the insertion point where you want the sound inserted.
  2. Display the Insert tab of the Ribbon and click Object in the Text group. You will see the Object dialog box.
  3. Click on the Create from File tab. (Click here to see a related figure.)
  4. Use the controls on the dialog box to locate a sound file that you want included with your document.
  5. Click on OK. An icon that looks like a speaker is inserted in your document.

You can later listen to your sound file by simply double-clicking on the speaker icon.
