How ot make WORD play wavefiles INSIDE the document- not externally?

Question

Sometimes when I embed a hyperlink to play a wave in microsoft WORD, the wave will open automatically when I click ont he link and play in the 'background', without using an external player.
But now, when I click on the link it gives me a security warning about opening the file and uses an eternal player such as media or winamp etc to play the file, which is really obnoxious and tkes too long to load.
How do i get it to play in WORD again??

Answer 1

It may have to do on how you put the wav file into the document.

On the Insert menu, click Object, and then click the Create from File tab.

Click Browse, and then locate the sound file you want to insert. Click Insert.

Back in the Object dialog box click OK.

or if you prefer a slightly larger icon in your document, select the Display as icon check box before you click OK

To play a sound file, double-click its icon and it should play in the Word window. Works for me. (Word Version 2003)
