[Mr. Mysterious]

I want to type words and then get them to be played back to me with a funny
voice. Is it possible and/or How? I am using Microsoft Office Word 2007

There are plenty of third-party products which will do things like speak
aloud the selected text in a window. Search on "speak" and "selected text".

I seem to recall names like "text-a-loud" and "first byte" and "nextup".

I recall others that had you place the text on the clipboard and it would be
spoken.

Another route is to write a macro to do this. Windows comes with speech
capability built-in, so this won't cost you any money. See the topic of
SAPI (speech applications programming interface) for instructions on how to
do this, although I recall seeing many vba example programs.

hth,

Chip
