Office XP sounds stopped working

M

Michael Taylor

Recently the sounds I added to Office XP have stopped working. I've
uninstalled the Sounds package (which I got from Microsoft Office download
site) and re-installed it, but the sounds still don't work.

Other Windows sounds work fine. If I go to control panel, sounds & audio
devices, I can see the Microsoft Office program events and when I select one
of the WAV files and play it, it works but none of them seem to initiated
from when I'm in an office application.

Not a big problem, just curious as to why it stopped working. Any ideas?

Thanks
Mike

I presume you have checked off the option to "provide feedback with sound"
in each application?

Thank you for your reply Milly.

I checked through the options in each of the office applications and found
the 'provide feedback with sound options' (haven't noticed them before). In
Outlook, Powerpoint and Word the option was ticked so I unticked and
re-ticked and the sounds came back. In Excel, it was unticked so I ticked it
and that is now working too.
I'm happy it's working again, but am puzzled as to why it stopped. Can using
Office Update somehow change your settings? I put SP3 onto Office XP a few
months back, though this sound problem only developed at the start of last
week.
Anyway, thank you again.

Regards
Mike
