Cindy,

If you are using Windows Media Player, the keystroke to pause is control P.

Hey Cindy,
Are you using a laptop or desktop at work? A lot of laptops have buttons
specific to them which will allow you to play/pause skip forward and
backwards. Also, if you have a notetaker, they all play wav files, so that
might be an options. You can also try using a victor reader stream. I can't
think of keyboard strokes for starting and stopping without having to go to
the specific program.
I think that iPhones like mp4s... but don't quote me on that since I'm
slightly technology illiterate.
