Make a short WAV file using Windows sound recorder and save it to the desktop.

Using FrontPage, choose Insert > Advanced > Plug-in, and choose the file you have made. The browser will look for your preferred playback device for WAV files and should display a player icon.

N.B. Windows Media Player demands a full URL for playback. On machines in which QuickTime is the default media player the file will play in the browser without a full pathname. As a web author, you must be aware of alternative browsers and media player options.

(To edit audio in Adobe Premiere video projects later, you will import your WAV file into the Premiere project bin, drag it into the audio timeline, and choose Window > show audio effects.)
