You can create an AutoExec macro to automatically check the "provide
feedback with sound" setting. An AutoExec macro in a global template will
run every time you launch Word.

I *think* (I'm a macro novice) that this is the macro you need:

Sub AutoExec()
With Options
.EnableSound = True
End With
End Sub

You can install it in the Normal template--here's directions for that. You
don't need to assign it to a toolbar or anything as it will automatically
run on launch.

(hit refresh a few times in Safari, or use a different browser)

It would actually be preferable to put it in a global template, however:

(only the first portion re template is required for this instance)

If there are other preferences you want to make sure are always checked, you
can stack them into the same AutoExec macro--this is mine, just as an
example:

Sub AutoExec()
With AutoCorrect
.ReplaceTextFromSpellingChecker = False
End With
With ActiveWindow.View
.ShowBookmarks = True
End With
End Sub

(Michel, I know nothing re PPT but suspect something similar would work in
PPT, but your problem actually sounds a little different)
