[nfbcs] Issue with Sounds in Microsoft Office 365

Fri May 4 20:21:32 UTC 2018

Hey Cathy,
I found this article from Microsoft that might help.
I am pasting it below.
I know that you said that you did the first part of these instructions. But, did you change the theme to Classic instead of modern?
I did this and got the sound for deleting messages in Outlook. 
I hope this helps.

 2. On the Ease of Access tab, under Feedback Options, select or clear the Provide feedback with sound checkbox.
 3. If you wish, you can use the original Office sound effects by selecting the Classic theme from the Sound Theme drop-down.

That is what I had installed. It is squirly to install it for Office 365 because it doesn't think you have office on your computer. I successfully installed it using the work around, but it doesn't seem to be working

I have a program, from Microsoft, called sounds.exe. You run it and it adds sounds to MS office. I can send it to you, if you want.
