Thank you for your response, but when I installed office 2002/2003 in XP a
few years ago -- I did not have to do anything -- it was all there for the
taking. I do have the text to speech working fine in Excel 2003 on this
laptop, but as you know not in Word. I clicked on your link and am not
quite sure what to do with it since I don't have "Reference" under Tools in
the Word 2003 -- so that really has confused me...
I am being unfiar to Vista or should I just be miffed at Bill gates? how
can a computer company not support and enhance its own product -- why is
everything such a hassle now with Vista?

Text to speech feature only works for Excel, not Word. It works as advertised
in Excel 2003 and 2007. Are you possibly confusing it with speech recognition?

I used Word's feature of Text to speech in both Word 2003 and Excel 2003
using XP with no problems. However now that I have the new operating system,
this does not work at all.

Thank you
