Objects in Word

Hello,

I have created a document which has objects embedded. These objects are sound files that play when I click it but once I distribute this they don't work for anyone else. I'm assuming it's because they don't have the target source on their device. Is there anyway to get around this?

Thanks

    Make sure that you actually embed the sound file, and not just link to it, because the link may be local to your computer.

    Also, note that you have to share your Word document in the *.docx format. You will lose embedded sound files if you convert the document to PDF, for example.
