Jay Freedman Autotext Loader- Adding Sound Cues

[Alan in NJ]

Jay Freedman's autotext loader has, by now, saved me many hours of work.
(Thank you Jay.)
But I would really like to have Word play a sound cue when the autotext
screentip appears so I don't have to also be watching the screen as I am
typing. Does anyone know how I could do this?

Hi Alan,

I don't have time to look at this right now, but I'll try to get to it
tonight. Watch this space...

As far as I can tell, there's no way to do this. Word certainly knows
internally when it has recognized an AutoText entry name in the text,
but it doesn't tell VBA about it. That means there's no event to
handle, no way to trigger the sound routine, at least with VBA.
