  1. Run Word for Windows.
  2. From the Insert menu, choose Object.
  3. Choose Sound and choose the OK button.
  4. Sound Recorder will start.
  5. From the Edit menu, choose Insert File.

  8. When prompted to Exit and Update, choose Yes.
The sound object (.WAV) is now inserted into the document.
