Controlling an external application from Word

[ricaforrica]

Hello guys!

I have a Word medical report and a audio file with the info which must be
written. There is a simple application who runs the audio file. What I want
to know is if I can send a play/pause instruction to that application from
Word!

Is there anyway to do this? I believe I could create a "play" and "pause"
macros (and associate them to a key, for instance)...

I thank anyone who could help me!
Best regards,

You could do this IF that application provides an automation interface. You'd
probably need to contact the manufacturer of the application to ask about
this.
