SimpleText will play any length sound, as long as it has enough memory to do so. Having a sound, of any length, embedded in your document will increase the loading time of the document slightly. The following dialog box appears as shown in Figure 1. Figure 1 . The dialog box for sound recording.
Input is from the Input source selected in the Sound control panel.
Simply begin recording and save the document when you are done. If you want to put more pre-production into your sound, or have a longer sound embedded in the document, you need to have a 'snd ' resource that you can paste into the document using ResEdit. Once a sound is added to a document, all that is required to play the sound is for the user to select Play from the Sound menu. You will probably want to have a line of text in your document that alerts the user to the fact that there is a nifty audio clip available, and to hear it, they need to choose Play from the Sound menu. QuickTime movies can also be played back from SimpleText, but they cannot be embedded in the document.
