Re: Little ring tone upon saving?

I actually like the sounds myself.

But I've found even if you have turned on even in versions as old as Word 6.0.1a and Excel. 5.0.1 a. that the sounds worked spotty at best. Maybe one time they would work or the session you happened to be in if set would work then maybe the next five times nothing would be heard, then maybe everyone in a row or 10 tries might work, Then maybe every other one would. there was is no rhyme or reason.

So it might or might not work. Could be caused by the moon phase.

But Taz's directions are accurate.

Drives me crazy 'cause saving isn't the only thing that generates a sound:-)

Hi, I just upgraded from an older version of Office to Office 2008 for
Mac. I work primarily in Word. It used to be that when I saved a file,
I would hear a little ring that let me know that I had saved. Now when
I save I do not hear that sound, and would actually like to have it
back. Is there a Preference somewhere where I can select this, or did
they remove this feature from the product? Thanks, Jon Varese

PS: Yes, my volume is turned up!
