Hi Becky; Happy New Year to all. Try following the steps beginning with #5 in the list below.

Arrow down to sound, or type the letter s. 5. Tab to browse and press enter. 6. If you are wanting to add a midi file, tab one time to, files of type and type the letter m for midi. 7. Shift tab 2 times back to your list view. 8. Navigate to the file you want to add. If the file is not in that list, you can press your backspace to navigate to different folders. 9. Once you find the file you want to add, press enter on the file name. 10. Tab to, repeat settings. You can choose to just play the sound, or play the sound continuously by pressing your up or down arrow. If you choose to just play the sound, you can tab one more time and select how many times you want the sound to be played by using your up arrow. 11. Tab to OK and press enter. 12.

I am wanting to imbed a sound file in an email. I understand that you open a new email message, go to the Format menu, down to background submenu, and then to sound. My problem is that most items under the Format menu say "unavailable." I don't think they have always said "unavailable," but don't know how to make those items become available again. Does anyone have any ideas about this? Thanks.
