When you open the VBA editor, you should see a tree diagram on the left (if
you don't see it, click View > Project Explorer). One of the icons in the
tree will be labeled "Normal". Click on that icon, then click Tools >
References to open the "Project - Normal" dialog that Graham shows.

After checking the Microsoft Speech Object Library item in the dialog and
clicking OK, the Normal icon in the tree will still be selected. Now click
Insert > Module. If the tree items below the Normal icon aren't expanded,
click the plus sign next to it; that will display two folders labeled
"Microsoft Word Objects" and "Modules". Expand the Modules folder if
necessary to see that there is at least one module icon under it, which
should be labeled "Module 1".

If the Properties pane isn't visible below the tree diagram, click View >
Properties Window to display it. It contains two columns; on the left it
will say "(Name)" and on the right it will say Module 1. Change the
right-hand column to say TextToSpeech.

If you take a look at my other page
http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm and read that in conjunction with
http://www.gmayor.com/word_text_to_speech.htm you should be more clear on
how to install macros from listings.
To make available the Microsoft Speech Object Library, you must first
install the speech portion of Excel as noted on the page.
Then to add it, to Word ALT+F11 > Tools > References. Scroll down the list
and check the item.

Thanks for your quick response! I got it!! How wonderful when you know what
you're doing and are kind enough to share with us. Thank you both and God
bless.
 
Jay - just wanted to thank you again. This feature has been most helpful.
I was not the OP so can you as an MVP 'green check' this post for the
archives?
Best wishes!
 
Although you can't mark a reply as "the answer," you can mark it as
"helpful."

I wasn't meaning to suggest you hadn't. I use NNTP to post, so I can't see
any of the "frills" of the Web interface.
