Inserting a Sound File in Your Worksheet

Actually, Allan, there is an Object tool. The Text group in the figure you show has six tools in it. The middle tool on the right (just to the right of the Header & Footer tool) is the Object tool. Hover the mouse over it, and you should see the tool's name.

"Click the Object tool in the Text group. Excel displays the Object dialog box."
I am using Excel 2007. There is no Object tool in the Text box. See attached image.

(see Figure 1 below)

This reminds me of the speech method. Applied to a sheet use

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
With Application.Speech
Target.Speak
End With
End Sub

Useful for those with eyesight problems. There is also

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
With Application.Speech
Target.Speak
End With
End Sub

I just tried this. Insert, Object, Create from File, Browse

Something like this

C:UsersUser NameMusicFile name

A text box is placed on the spreadsheet. Right-click the textbox choose Packager Shell Object Object Click the Arrow and choose activate object.

Minimise the music player and have music while you work.

Thanks for the tips on adding sound file to Excel 2010 worksheet. My 2010 version does not show all of the different files. Plus where do I find sound files?

Hi,
I have the same question made by Rosco below. Is there a work around for this problem, please?

Thanks.
Bob

Sorry. I am using Windows7 Pro 64 bit.
MS Office 2007 Pro. The Insert-Object drop down list offers NO choice to handle audio. Can this list be customised to include program of choice for users?

I have printscreen images of the present list of choices available, but where can I submit these for your perusal?

not working for me on win7 63 excel2013 (en_us). Looks like it's adding a link maybe? File size doesn't increase much. No, maybe it's because I have wav set to open Audacity instead of Wmplayer? ?
