Re: [libreoffice-users] Product support question please!

       Mark, I so agree with you;
           when music and/or talking starts the moment I open an e-mail or
a website page, my first thought is very negative ... especially since most
of the time the producer has set the volume to a deafening level.

Personally, if I open a web page (or other HTML document) and it
automatically starts playing music or other sounds, my immediate reaction
is to close that page. It's just an annoyance, particularly in an office
etc. where it also disturbs everyone else. I might mute the sound on my PC
and then reopen the page, but more often I just don't bother. If you want
people to actually read your business plan, it may be better NOT to play
music in the background as soon as they open it!

I'm not sure about that, although from Luuk's response it looks like at
least MP3 should work. It will also depend on the formats supported by web
browsers, although MP3 should be fine there. And if you're emailing this
document, rather than hosting it on a web server, you'll also need to email
the sound file separately, and instruct your readers/listeners to extract
both files to an appropriate folder for the sound to work.


 I thank you in advance for your assistance.
