Making Word play a sound

[Gordon Bentley-Mix]

G'day!

I have a template with a timer in a loop. I'd like Word to play a sound each
time the loop increments. I know I can use the Beep function to do this, but
that just plays the 'Default Beep' as specified in Windows - which, depending
on the settings, can be somewhat... umm... less than pleasant. Of course, I
can always change the 'Default Beep' to something a bit more appealing, but I
may be distributing this template to others who either don't want to change
their 'Default Beep' or don't have even the limited knowledge required to do
so.

Is there a way to have Word play a specific sound? Or am I stuck with Beep?

(And yes, I know that other users might not have the sound file - but I can
always distribute it and install it in a known location...)

Gordon,

I don't know if it will work for what you are trying to do, but see:

That just might do the trick. I'll let you know.

You bloody legend! That's exactly what I needed (with a few minor mods of
course).

The next round of Speight's is on me!
