If you want to jazz up your e-mail messages, you probably already know that
you can add background colors and stationery. But did you know that you can
add sound?
You can use the following steps to add a sound file to your e-mail message
that will play only once or over and over again.
A word of caution...Use your best judgment when attaching sound files. Keep
them small in size and, as with fonts and colors, there is such a thing as
too much of a good thing — moderation is key.
Make sure you are using Microsoft Office Word as your your e-mail editor.
How?
On the Tools menu, click Options.
On the Mail Format tab, under Message Format, in the Compose in this message
format list, click HTML.
Select the Use Microsoft Office Word 2003 to edit e-mail messages check box.
Note You must use the same version of Word and Outlook. For example, you
cannot use Microsoft Word 2002 with Outlook 2003.
Create a new message.
In the message window, on the View menu, point to Toolbars, and then click
Web Tools.
On the Web Tools toolbar, click Sound .
Note If the Sound icon is unavailable, click in the message body to make
the icons on the Web Tools toolbar available.
In the Background Sound dialog box, click Browse, and then select the .wav,
..mid, .rmi, .au, .aif, .aiff, or .snd sound file you want.
Note Sound files can be very large. Make sure you check the size of the
file you are sending so that your message does not exceed your or your
recipient's e-mail server limits.
Under Loop, choose the number of times you want the sound to repeat when the
messages is opened. For continuous playback, select Infinite.
Click OK.
Compose your message as you usually do.

choose from.

Followed all your instructions and seemed to drive me in the right direction.
When I click on Sound in the web tools it opens a window saying: This object
was created in HTMLInlineSoundCtl. This application is not available to open
this object. How do I proceed now?? Thanks

HTMLInlineSoundCtl, I posted this in Google and it came out as a problem
introduced by SP2 which ruined the possibility of adding sound to e-mails in
outlook and no solution has been found. Is anybody aware of a fix for this
problem?

I have the same problem since I installed the SP2. I have the program Power
Plugs from Crystal Graphics which has nice stationary and music for outlook
and now I am unable to add music to my e-mails...
Help!

There is no "fix" and will not be "fixed" as it introduces a security hole
in the program and had to be shut down.
Mail is not an "appropriate" instrument for music anyway. I promptly delete
any such emails and put the sender on the blocked senders list.

You can insert background music in a message by using Outlook Express
(Format/Background/Sound). I've done it by addressing the message to myself.
Then opening Outlook click forward and finishing the message.
I emailed MS several years ago, why you can't simply do the same in Outlook
as in Outlook Express. Their only answer is you have to designate Word as
your email editor. Doesn't make sense.
Outlook Help is no help!
If an MS rep is reading this email, WHY all this Mickey Mousing?

Outlook 2007 doesn't support the bgmusic tag which is why the embedded sound
file is shown as attachment.
"Are you listening Microsoft?"
Not actively here, but they have listened and that is also a reason why
background sounds are no longer supported. If you want to make your voice
hear contact Microsoft Customer Support.

have another problem. When I send from OE to O-2007, the background music

changed to an attachment and you have to double click on the attachment to
hear. If I open the message to Outlook 2003, it still plays instantly in

Why can't MS give us the same simple procedure in Outlook as in Outlook
Express? Are you listening Microsoft?

Hi Warren:
I did this. When I highlighted the email when it arrived in my Outlook the
music began to plan. When I double clicked on it to open it, the first song
kept playing and the song began again, so the song was playing twice when I
had the email open. I tried double clicking immediately and the song still
played twice at the same time. What do I need to do to have the song only
play once?

Hi Randy:
Thank you for your input. I don't understand it though.
Single clicking on any email in Outlook highlights it. Double clicking it
opens it. When I single click on this email in Outlook it begins to play the
music. I then go to another email and the music stops. I then go back to this
email and immediately double click on it, it opens and the music begins
playing twice at the same time.
Thanks...

Thank, Roady.
This works. However, I will be using this as a template for some future
emails. How will people who receive know how to avoid having the music
playing twice at the same time, especially those with Outlook. Is there a way
the email I send to myself from Outlook Express will only play the song one
time and not twice at the same time?

Hi Warren:
I did this. When I highlighted the email when it arrived in my Outlook
the
music began to plan. When I double clicked on it to open it, the first
song
kept playing and the song began again, so the song was playing twice
when
I
had the email open. I tried double clicking immediately and the song
still
played twice at the same time. What do I need to do to have the song
only
play once?
:
You can insert background music in a message by using Outlook Express
(Format/Background/Sound). I've done it by addressing the message to
myself.
Then opening Outlook click forward and finishing the message.
I emailed MS several years ago, why you can't simply do the same in
Outlook
as in Outlook Express. Their only answer is you have to designate
Word
as
your email editor. Doesn't make sense.
Outlook Help is no help!
If an MS rep is reading this email, WHY all this Mickey Mousing?
:
There is no "fix" and will not be "fixed" as it introduces a
security
hole
in the program and had to be shut down.
Mail is not an "appropriate" instrument for music anyway. I
promptly
delete
any such emails and put the sender on the blocked senders list.

No, since you are opening the same email twice; one in the Reading Pane and
one in a separate window.
one in a separate window.
John Bishop said:Thank, Roady.
This works. However, I will be using this as a template for some future
emails. How will people who receive know how to avoid having the music
playing twice at the same time, especially those with Outlook. Is there a
way
the email I send to myself from Outlook Express will only play the song
one
time and not twice at the same time?
Roady said:After you open it change your Reading Pane selection to another email.
John Bishop said:Hi Randy:
Thank you for your input. I don't understand it though.
Single clicking on any email in Outlook highlights it. Double clicking
it
opens it. When I single click on this email in Outlook it begins to
play
the
music. I then go to another email and the music stops. I then go back
to
this
email and immediately double click on it, it opens and the music begins
playing twice at the same time.
Thanks...

I was excited to find your post as I have struggled with this problem for a
while - however, I am using Outlook 2007 and Vista and the web tools doesn't
have sound, or anything else interesting. Based on the response of Milly to
this string, MS has once again pounced in and disarmed the customer who is
buying the products with a "fix" that is for their convenience. Why should
MS decide how I can use my e-mail product that i paid for?
