Lowanne,

Congratulations on Jack's great news!

I use Windows XP Professional and Word 2003. I know XP and WIndows 2000 comes with a text to speech engine and Word 2002 and Word 2003 have the capability to convert text to speech. The Language Bar automatically loads with Word when I start it. You just click on the options arrow and click "Speak Text". You type something and highlight it, then click on the Speak button on the Language Bar and it reads back what is highlighted.

I hope this helps.
