**Podcasting as prewriting:**
Creating an audio file: //Home>Play>Sound Recording//  Then, record your writer's plan, save the file with //File> Save Buffer as// (remember where you put it!).  Hyperlink: Highlight a word or group of words.  Select //Insert>Hyperlink>Document>Browse// the pathway (this is like adding an attachment to an email) select the audio //file>Click OK>Click Apply//. Presto!
