The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, versions 5.0, 5.1, 6.0

SYMPTOMS
When using MacRecorder to Insert a Voice Annotation in Microsoft Word for the Macintosh version 5.0, the following error message may occur:

&quot;There is no selected recording device. Please select a device in  the control panel. Be sure you have not disabled the INIT for your device. Error number: -228&quot;

CAUSE
For MacRecorder to function with applications such as Word, the MacRecorder driver version 1.0.1 (or later) must be installed.

RESOLUTION
The MacRecorder driver is a System extension (or INIT), which currently ships with Sound Edit Pro version 2.0.5. The driver allows MacRecorder to work with many Macintosh programs that support sound input.

MacRecorder was formerly sold and supported by Farallon Computing. Currently, it is sold and supported by Paracomp.
