User Guide

Follow these steps to embed a Sound Forge XP Audio object into Wor d Pa d
(Windows 9x) or Microsoft Word 7.0 (Windows NT) using drag and drop:
1. Run Wo rd Pa d (Windows 9x) or Word 7.0 (Windows NT).
2. Now run Sound Forge XP and open a sound file (TUTOR1.WAV in your
Sound Forge XP directory will suffice).
3. Ensure that at least a portion of WordP ad or Wo rd is visible while Sound Forge
XP is open (if either application is maximized, you will need to restore
them and resize them accordingly).
4. Locate the OLE Drag Source control in the lower right corner of the data
window. It’s on the right end of the selection length box and contains the
letters OLE.
5. Click and hold the left mouse button on the OLE Drag Source control and then
drag the mouse cursor while holding the mouse button down.
6. Now drag the mouse over the top of Wor d Pa d or Wo rd and drop it (release
the mouse button). If you did everything correctly, a Sound Forge XP Audio
object will now be embedded in your document.
A newly created sound file must first be saved before you can drag and drop
the object into an OLE container. If the sound file in question needs to be
saved, you will be prompted to do so when you click on the OLE Drag Source
control.
There is an option in the General page of the Preferences folder (Options menu)
to turn off the OLE Drag Source control (hide it). It may be desirable to turn this
control off if you do not plan to use the OLE drag and drop support of Sound
Forge XP.
COPY OBJECT LINK
Another method for creating a Sound Forge XP Audio object is to invoke the
Copy Object Link command under the Edit menu in Sound Forge XP.This method
is sometimes preferable to the drag and drop method because you don’t need
a mouse.
Follow these steps to embed a Sound Forge XP Audio object into Wor d Pa d
(Windows 9x) or Write (Windows NT) using the Copy Object Link command:
1. Run Sound Forge XP and open a sound file (TUTOR1.WAV in your Sound
Forge XP directory will suffice).
