I want to dictate my work using Word, but apparently the microphone is disabled, and I can't figure out what to do.

    Hi,

    I will help you with this.

    Type mmsys.cpl

    Press Enter.

    Go to the Recording Tab. Take a screenshot.

    To attach a screenshot, see below:

     

    • Press Windows key + Shift + S together on the keyboard. The screen will dim with overlay. Drag the pointer to take a screenshot.
    • The screenshot will be copied to the clipboard. Please press Ctrl+V in the editor to paste it, then confirm to attach the image.

     

    Alternatively, you can press the PrtScn key on the keyboard, if it exists, to directly copy the Entire screen, which you can paste using CTRL+V.
