How to install speech recognition from Microsoft Word 2007???

[Raymond Angana]

IN 2003, I click tools then speech. Click yes if you're asked to install it.
It will should be available in the Tools menu in all Office programs. See if
it helps.

Hi Poxitee,

If you're referring to the dictation feature it's no longer included with Office after the 2003 version, with responsibility for it
reverting back to the MS Windows Speech folks. In Windows Vista it's available as a built in part of Windows (some improvements and
some lost features). In Windows XP you can add a variation of MS dictation in, but it's often easier and better featured to use a
3rd party product such as one of those offered by http://nuance.com . If you're in Windows XP you may want to check with the folks
in the MS Desktop Speech discussion group through the link below.

If you're referring to the Speak-cells (read back) feature from Microsoft Office Excel 2007 (that can also be made to work in Word)
to read the document back to you, that is still available in Excel, but the five 'speak cells' commands are not on the ribbon and
need to be added to the Excel Quick Access toolbar from
Office Button=Excel Options=Customize=Commands not in the ribbon.
