Sound recorder in Publisher

[shirl]

Hi

I want to record a voice in Publisher using the sound recorder. I ca
do this by Insert object and selecting Wave Sound, but when I do thi
the sound icon does not appear even if I tick the display as Icon box.

If I click on Change Icon, I can select a different one and it works
but I just want to the sound recorder icon.

This works in Word so not sure why is does not in publisher?

Thanks
Shir

Sorry if this is a silly question, but why exactly do you want to record
a voice in Publisher? Publisher is a program for print output; you can't
print a sound. Even if you're creating a website in Publisher, the sound
(as far as I know) won't transfer to the web.

Use an audio application for audio files. Sound Recorder can be started
in Start > All Programs > Accessories

I was thinking the same thing...audio ink?

Maybe the OP would find PowerPoint more useful????

No it's not a silly question and sorry this is a long answer. FYI I a
in the UK.

I am working on a project with teaching staff, giving audio feedbac
in electronic assignments, mainly Word and some PowerPoint.
Assignments are submitted electronically by students and audio feedbac
given by the tutor using insert|object and inserting Wave sound files.
Files with feedback are then sent back to the learner

I know they can create audio files outside of Word etc and use softwar
such as Sound recorder and Audacity to create audio files and mp3 files
but for some of the staff involved (limited IT skills), recording audi
in Word is reasonably simple.


Some of the younger students age 14+ are still at school and come t
college one day a week for hairdressing and other courses.

As part of their course, they have to produce assignments, lots of the
use Publisher at school for creating all sorts of publications. So som
of them have also used it for their assignments which they submit t
their college tutor.

I was creating handouts for staff for a training session to show the
how to put audio in Word and PowerPoint, when I also looked at puttin
audio in Publisher - this is when I spotted that the sound recorde
icon does not appear in Publisher and was hoping that someone woul
know why.

I know that you could easily choose another icon but wondered why i
does not show the standard sound recorder icon.

Hope this makes it a bit clearer.
