I've just had this sent to me on a message board I subscribe to. I've tried it and it does work as well. If you switch on 'View|Toolbars|TextToSpeech|Speak On Enter' then the contents of each cell are spoken back to you on completion (assuming that your PC has a sound card and a speaker). The pronunciation may not be perfect and the default voice is a bit annoying but I think that it is helping me to trap mistakes in my typing without slowing me down! .... and if you don't like it you can always turn it off!! See you're never too old to learn new tricks :-) PPP xxx
