Saw this on an SP2 newsgroup

Re: SP2 creates a bug in Word XP and Word 2003

This has been confirmed by 7 users of SP2.

If you are using Word XP or Word 2003, either stand-alone or as editors for
Outlook, and you have upgraded to SP2 you will discover the following bug:

Open Word XP or Word 2003.
Click View.
Click Toolbars.
Click Web Tools.
Click the Sound icon (bottom left corner of the Web Tools box).

You will get the following error message:

"This object was created in HTMLInlineSoundCtl. This application is
not available to open this object. Make sure the application is properly
installed and that it has not deleted, removed or renamed."

If you are running with SP1, you will see a dialog box entitled
"Background Sound" and then you'll have entries for browsing for
the name of a sound clip and also a box to enter the number of times you
want the sound to "loop."   This ability is no longer available
with
SP2.

I have VBA enabled in the Office Shared Features for Office 2003.

By the way, if you click on the Movie icon in the Web Tools box (last icon
on the right), you will get a very similar error message.  There is
apparently some glitch between SP2 and OLE objects.  I'm sure there are
more but because this one is directly related to a Microsoft Office
product, I find it disappointing.
