WordTalk Simple Guide

The WordTalk toolbar should appear beside the rest of the Word Toolbars at the top
of the screen. (If it doesn't,
from the View menu, go into
Toolbars and tick WordTalk)

Type some text, put the cursor
somewhere in the text, and
click W, S or P on the WordTalk
toolbar to read the word,
sentence or paragraph. There
will be a short delay the first
time it speaks while the voice is
loaded and configured. If
WordTalk does not speak, and
you see the message box on
the right, it is because your
Word Security settings are set
`High', to prevent any malicious macros or viruses running. Since WordTalk is a
macro, this also stops WordTalk operating.

Go to Tools > Macro > Security in Word,
and set the Security to be Medium. Then go
to Tools > Templates and Add-Ins, and
untick WordTalk. Close Word, start it up
again, go to Tools > Templates and Add-
Ins and select WordTalk once again. Click
Enable when you get asked if you want to
enable WordTalk. Then put the security back
to its previous High or Very High setting.

You should only need to do this once Word
will remember that WordTalk is allowed the
next time you use it.

From then on

if you wish to access the WordTalk toolbar, it will be in the Global

Templates and Add-Ins box. Tick the tick box and the toolbar should appear.

If you wish to have the WordTalk toolbar automatically loaded when you start up MS
Word, open the folder on the CD called WTconfigure and click on Setup. This
installs a small program called WordTalkStartup which lets you choose whether to
have WordTalk load when MS Word starts up, or not.
