Rather than adding notes to the cells in your worksheets, you can imbed audio files that serve as audible annotations. In order to do this, your computer must have sound capabilities (either built-in or through an added sound board) which are supported by Windows, along with a microphone. Then you can follow these steps:
Figure 1. The Create New tab of the Object dialog box.
You can later listen to your message by simply double-clicking on the speaker icon.

Hi Allen.
I need help. In an excel sheet, I want to scroll down in a row or column as I am saying "next" or any other voice command and the cell value be speeched by excel; noting that cell values are not written in english. (We can say each cell can contain a voice depending on the cell value. For example when the selected cell is A2 which contains 344, vice file A be played and when i said next, the cell A3 be selected and if it contains 540, vice file B be played.)
Thanks.

I don't see any objects like this in my list (Excel 16). Do I need to add a reference library? If so, which one?
Got a version of Excel that uses the menu interface (Excel 97, Excel 2000, Excel 2002, or Excel 2003)? This site is for you! If you use a later version of Excel, visit our ExcelTips site focusing on the ribbon interface.
