System 7: Copying Sounds From Scrapbook to System (2/95)


How do you add a sound from the Scrapbook and make it an alert sound? I tried to copy and place it into the System suitcase but it does not work.

You must first open the Scrapbook and copy the sound into the clipboard. Next, open the Sound control panel and paste the sound in. It asks you to name the sound and then inserts it into the list of alert sounds.

This process copies the System 7 sound into the System suitcase so you can then open the suitcase to move or play the sound file. This works with System 7 and higher, with or without the Sound Manager extensions.
