We Need Simple Clear Sounds

[NAITO, yoshiki]

Dear whoever concerning Office for Macs' sounds,

Most of the soundsets for Entourage currently available are too
creative and old. I want more choices of simple clear fresh sounds not only
in Entourage but also in entire Office for Mac.

Since the soundset-developing tool 'Expression' uses old sound file
format 'System 7', Microsoft should offer either more such sounds; or a
official developing tool; or both.

NAITO, yoshiki

Dear Yoshiki,

It appears, from this and your previous post, that you might be under the
impression that we are Microsoft developers here. The people who keep the
discussion group going are volunteers who specifically do not work for
Microsoft.

Although Microsoft staff do sometimes call by here, they haven't been so
active lately -- probably because they are all working hard on Office 2008.

You should use the "Send feedback" facility on the Help menu. The MacBU
people do take notice, I can assure you.

Please don't post this in two discussion groups; it's confusing to the
regulars who post replies.

Cheers,

Clive Huggan

Since you like sounds, you might want to check out using sounds in rules.
Have you ever wanted to play a sound to notify you when you receive an
email? Create a rule to notify you when specific criteria you set is met.

I really rely on custom sounds to notify me for specific emails. Friends,
Buddies, Family mail all play a sound to let me know when I received mail in
those categories.
