how do i get the computer to read out what i have typed
Word 2003 - Windows 2000 Professional. (1) Link gives sample add "MS Speech
Library" in References - Normal. My pc Reference - Project. Is this the same? then (2) says to create a new module but I'm not sure where Insert | Module? but then I can't name it per instructions. I don't see the "Project - Normal" screen shot shown. Tried the help files but being new to macro/vba wound up completely lost. Didn't want to continue and throw this completely off. Also read link at the end about macros but that didn't use the vba editor so again, lost me. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

how do i get the computer to read out what i have typed
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. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. dp wrote: Word 2003 - Windows 2000 Professional.

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. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org dp wrote: Word 2003 - Windows 2000 Professional.

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!
