Create shortcuts for Word 2004 audio recording Apps
I write with the aid of a dictaphone, so was delighted to discover Word 2004's new audio-recording feature. I was then disappointed to find that it lacks keyboard shortcuts for play, stop, pause, etc. Reaching for a mouse is not much better than reaching for a dictaphone. Also, the NoteBook module does not offer the option of creating macros.

However, you can still automate these actions and asign them keyboard shortcuts using Visual Basic. Just create a new macro. Choose "Macros..." from the Macro sub-menu of the Tools menu. Type a new name and hit the Create button. Then place the following line directly above the "End Sub" statement:
 WordBasic.AudioNotesPlay
Replace Play with Pause, Stop, etc. as required. Quit out of the Macro editing environment and assign a keystroke in the usual way.

Create shortcuts for Word 2004 audio recording

Awesome! When trying to recreate notes based on the audio, mousing around made it close to impossible. This makes the AudioNotes feature (already the best new feature in Word2004) one-hundred-percent more useful. Thank you.
