Hi Fran,
Yes, there are a couple of ways to get there
The 'Voice Comment' isn't on the ribbon. You can add it to the Quick Access Toolbar
(QAT) via
Office Button=>Word Options=>Customize (Alt, T, O, C) [or right click on the QAT and choose Customize.
In the 'Commands not in the Ribbon' category choose the 'Voice Comment' choice to add. On the QAT it will appear as 'Insert Sound
Object'.
You can also use Insert=>Text=>Object=>Object=>Create New=>Wave Sound

Hy Bob, thank you. I followed your intructions, but the icon is "insert a sound object is not a recorderm but a comptression device for a voice file that has to be previously recodrded, saved in a folder and then recovered. A long procedure!! In 2003, the recording was immediate, with a dynamic graph depicting the volume level. So, in my opinion, in 2007 threr in reversion compared to 2003.

Hi Franco,
Are you using the command on the QAT or picking a 'Wave Sound' choice from Insert=>Object=>Create New?
In Windows XP, either of the choices should popup the same Sound Recorder in Word 2007 that was there in Word 2003, and place the
picture of a 'speaker' in the document titled Sound Object. Clicking the Red 'record' button should work to record your voice
comment.
If you Right clicking on the 'speaker' icon after that and choose 'Sound Record Document Object' you should be able to choose Edit
and change the recording.

Hi Franco,
Ahh, I'd forgotten that the Windows Vista Sound Recorder save format is .WMA rather than .WAV.
Can you run the sound recorder from
Start=>All Programs=>Accessories?
In Word did you add the 'Voice Comment' to the Quick Access Toolbar? That should bring up the sound recorder if it's the default
sound device.
=========
Bob, in My 2007 (with vista, unsatisfied) there is neither Wave Sound' in Insert=>Object=>Create New, nor a loudspeaker insertion
as in 2003.!
I apologize for troubling you, Franco>>

The default format for Windows Home Premium is indeed WMA, however, this
isn't the case for other versions, such as Vista Basic and Business. I
believe for those versions, the default format is WAV. Even if one inserts
the "insert voice" icon on the ribbon, it doesn't bring up the Vista sound
recorder. It brings up the "insert package" dialog box.
So, it would see that one cannot record voice comments on-the-fly, as the
original poster wanted ... unless it is a tablet pc, as the help file
suggests.
Does anyone know of a another solution for this problem?

Windows Vista-N series are the only ones that I recall that uses .WAV as the default. For the others you can set a shortcut to use
a command line parameter to enable a .wav file but one of the issues with the current version is not being able to reopen older
sound files.
Does Sound Recorder work if you use it outside of Word?
Does everything function from
Control Panel=>Hardware and Sound=Manage Audio Devices
when you use the Recording tab on your sound device properties?
The old version of Sound Recorder can work on Vista when using 'Run as Administrator', but I don't know if that will allow it to
work with the Word Voice Comment command.

The new sound recorder works fine for me, it's just that one is unable to
edit the clip you just recorded. That's my main complaint, other than not
being able to use it within office applications. Do you know if a
replacement that will work with Vista, preferrable 64bit? Microsoft blew it
with the functionality of sound recorder, that's for sure. (Just what were
they thinking when they re-invented it?)

The guesses I've seen tend to lean towards that Sound Recorder for Vista was setup to keep people from being able to reprocess other
people's (possibly copyright/protected) sound files using a MS provided applet (potential liability?) and you're right, it doesn't
include some of the editing features of the old WinXP sound recorder (which can work in Vista when run as admin, but not sure about
in 64-bit (i.e. there could be an issue with 64bit Windows Vista).
There are a number of 3rd party free and not-free sound recorders/editors available. I've not tried to tie them into the Word Voice
Comment command though.
The issue with getting a 'package' when inserting a Voice Comment in Word 2007 seems to be mainly when folks are using 64-bit
versions of Windows.

This is actually a very serious issue. There are hundreds of schools in the
UK where teachers routinely use the old Voice Comment feature in Office 2003
and XP to allow pupils with writing difficulties to record answers to
questions directly into worksheets. It looks as though any solution within
Vista will be complicated at best - which will exclude many pupils with
special educational needs who have been able to use Voice Comments.
Fortunately, most schools in the UK are still using XP, but they will get a
major shock in the next couple of years when they upgrade and find that they
have lost this valuable tool. Is it possible for us to prevail upon Microsoft
to restore this functionality?

Hi Allan,
So far the issue seems to have been not that the feature was removed from Vista (although it has been changed) but determining why
this feature seems to work for some folks using Vista and not at all for others. Vista has its own speech recognition/dictation
capability that can 'type' into Office documents.
Based on the area of concern you mentioned, which makes sense, you may want to see about approaching the Microsoft folks through a
3rd party organization that works on Accessibility issues re the use of Voice Recorder. The Microsoft accessibility site
http://microsoft.com/enable used to have its own contact points but now has the basic Microsoft contact/feedback points, but those
may be worth a call or try the Microsoft Accessibility blog email feedback via
http://blogs.msdn.com/accessibility/contact.aspx
