Jay -

Thanks for the reply

I would of really rather just downloaded a something then add a macro.

Dose theis really work and does it work with email?

Also, why the “HELL†did MS Office team remove it text-to-speech all???

Thanks!!!

I guess a lot of people would prefer to "just download" something, but
there isn't any such thing. There wasn't any such thing before,
either; Graham's article and macro apply to Office 2003 and 2007.

If you're using Word as your email editor, then it should work there,
too, but I haven't tried it to find out.

Remove it? Text to speech was never part of Word, it was a function of Excel
which is still present. The macros are easy enough to implement - see
http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm .

Text recognition was available in previous versions, but this has now been
moved to Windows Vista.

Will it work in the Word 2007 e-mail editor? No - at least not as it stands,
though it *may* be possible to implement it in Outlook's vba. I don't know
enough about Outlook vba to comment. However Microsoft's Speech object
library is available to be added to Outlook vba, so the answer should more
correctoy be 'probably'.

Jay's comment about Outlook being able to use Word as an editor no longer
applies with 2007. Outlook 2007 has its own editor.
