[Solved] Sound in Writer

[ricardomanrique]

Hello everybody,
I want to insert a sound (i.e. smoke) in Writer.
In Word this is done by clicking Insert / Picture / Clipart / sound / click or drag icon to page, and then double click to hear sound.
I cannot figure out how to do the same in Writer. Maybe someone can guide me on how to do it.
Thank you for your help.
Happy New Year!
Ricardo

Please read the Survival Guide for the forum. What OS ? OOo version ? Sound format ?

NB: moved the thread to the Writer forum.

Seems a little silly to classify a sound file under Pictures, doesn't it? Use Insert> Object in Writer, or you can insert a picture and either hyperlink it to a sound file or create an image map to link it to a sound file, or you can use Insert> Movie and Sound to insert the sound file as a link, or you can choose Tools> Media Player, open the sound file you want, and click Apply to insert it in the document as a hyperlink. All hyperlinked files will play in the browser.

Inserted as an object, the sound file will initially appear as an icon of an electrical plug, but once the player plug-in and sound are loaded, that changes to a little player bar. You'd have to adjust the size of the object (because it retains the size of the icon that loads) but you can use the arrow selection tool (Drawing toolbar) to drag a selection box around it, and use the green handles to resize it.
