Does not provide feedback with sound when opening a document

[Esther Ma]

The "provide feedback with sound" option is checked but it never
provided the feedback with sound when opening a document. When saving
or printing the document, it provides sounds. It only doesn't work
while opening a document

So "sounds" are working, but that particular sound is not.

That could mean that the sound file itself is missing from your
Applications/Microsoft Office/Office/Sounds folder. I am sorry, I do not
know the name of the file, and it's not easy to find out.

It could also (more likely) mean a damaged preference, but I don't know
which one. I seem to remember that there was some discussion about this:
maybe one of the others will remember where the sound scheme is located?

I am afraid I will have to ask... And since I already did a while ago and I
didn't get an answer, the response may not be "quick". Sorry...

Cheers

I just thought I should add my own thoughts here. The sounds are indeed
behaving quite strangely, sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. In your
special case, Esther Ma, I think I've noticed a similar behaviour. Then
again, I haven't paid that much attention to it, but as far as I can tell,
the sound will only play when you open a document from within Word, e.g. the
"Work" menu or the "Recent Items" menu. The sound will not play when you
double-click a file in the Finder. Maybe that's the explanation for your
problem?

Hi Michel:

Oh, VERY nice pickup!!

Yes, that may be her problem. I didn't think of it because I rarely use
double-clicking to open things, I always use File>Open.

And it's the File>Open event that triggers the sound. Or more correctly,
the File Open that triggers the event that triggers the sound.

Cheers

Is there some new reply here somewhere, Esther?
