  slide

Inserting Instead of Linking

• We talked about creating a sound file with the
  Windows Sound Recorder and then creating a link
  to the sound file by make a hyperlink to it.
• We thought this might be useful for things like
  pronunciation of new terms or names.
• Perhaps a better way is to put a little icon next
  to words for which we have a pronunciation file.
• Heres how

17
First, Be Sure You Have a Sound File

• Use the Windows Sound Recorder to create a file.
• Youll find the recorder under StartgtProgramsgtAcce
  ssoriesgtMultimedia (it might be located at
  different places on different machines)
• I have a sound file called dag.wav which
  pronounces the word daguerreotype.
• Heres a hypothetical use of the filesee next
  slide

18
Hypothetical Use

• The very first photographic process to be given a
  public demonstration was the daguerreotype
  process, demonstrated in the French Academy in
  August of 1839.

19
Heres How the Sound Icon Was Inserted

• Remember, have the sound file ready. I put mine
  on the desktop so it would be easy to find.
• InsertgtMovies and SoundsgtSound from file

20
Locate the File
Here it is
I click on file and then click OK
21
The Sound File Becomes Part of My PP Presentation
and the Icon Appearsthe Icon Is a Link to the
Sound File
If you clicked on the little speaker youd hear
daguerreotype
22
Students Will Soon Learn

• That when they see the little speaker icon that
  it means theres a sound to be heard if they want
  to hear it.
• Nifty!
