*Office 2007, where's the text to speech*

In the versions of *Office 2007*for Windows, launched on*January 30,*2007 it has a text to speech in its spreadsheet but not in its word processor, can anyone explain why you'd put a text to speech in a spreadsheet but not in a word processor?

I know when ever I write a letter or alike, even though I proof read and spell check it many times I miss something offend, but if I copy and paste it to spreadsheet I only have to hear it once to tell if there's something a miss.

There is an icon for text to speech in the customize tab of the word processor but it doesn't work, am I missing something, like how it needs to be activated?

 

See if this works:

Click the Microsoft Office Button , and then click Word Options.
Click Advanced.
Under General, select or clear the Provide feedback with sound check box.

 

Dude I removed the icon from the ribbon a while ago because it wasn't working and now I can't find it in all commands.
I looked in Spreadsheet and it's called speak cell so I looked alphabetically and can seem to find it in the S section like speak or speech and its not in the T for text to speech section either.
Have you got any idea where it might be because I got jack? I had to download a Office sounds patch from M/Soft and now I can't find it, that says it all, it's like my life's story, I can see the finish line but fate keeps moving the ******* furthered away!

That did help, but not how you believed it would, because I was trying to get text to speech in word. (I got it working in Excel) And your URL had this in it: Text-to-speech is not available in Word yet, but you can turn it on in Excel. Since this page was published 7 months ago, I still got hope. Not that it matters that much other than simplify things, because there are free program,s like http://www.naturalreaders.com/ it's a pain in the butt all that cut and paste crap.

 

All you gotta do is type 'speech' in the help menu and it'll tell you how to activate it.

 

Have you tried that? because I just did and it only has how to text to speech in spreadsheet.

 

I don't see commands for converting text to speech
Text-to-speech features are included only in Microsoft Office Excel.


That was one of the results of the search when I typed speech!
