[senit] talking word

Hi Eileen,

Are you using Cricksoft's Wordbar? Because if you are then right-clicking
should read the text in the cell aloud just as it would in Clicker.

Then, as David suggests, you need to download something like Wordtalk in
order to get Word to read aloud. You don't need to download the big version
of Wordtalk, only the little one. This is because you already have voices
installed on the computer you are using (they come with Wordbar). The little
version of Wordbar can be downloaded by clicking this
link<http://www.wordtalk.org.uk/assets/WordTalk.exe>.
Should download fine. You might need to check that your browser isn't
stopping the download (IE7 and Firefox will both tell you in a message that
appears just under the toolbar).

Wordtalk works fine with Word 2007, btw, but I can't change the voice to
anything other than Microsoft Sam.

Charlie.
