Next, you'll record the title of your story -- one word at a time. (Each word must have its own sound file.)

Before you begin, minimize the slide show, and (if you do not have an internal mic) make sure your microphone is plugged in. Then:

• Click Start > All Programs > Accessories > Entertainment > Sound Recorder.
• Click the Record button in the Sound Recorder window, say the first word of the title into the microphone, and then click the Stop button.
• Click File > Save, name the file, and save it as a .wav file --its.wav, for example. Be sure to save the file in the same folder in which you saved the story.
• Click File > New, record the second word of the title, click Stop, and save the file as a .wav, time.wav, for example.
• Repeat the steps above to record each word of the story title.

Hint: When recording a word at the end of a sentence, be sure your voice inflection indicates the end of a sentence. You'll understand the importance of inflection when you hear the recording!

Next: Creating order!
