text-to-audio feature to read files out loud

Folks:



I recently discovered that Adobe Reader has the ability to read text files
out loud. This is a nice text-to-audio feature.

* I was wondering if any of the versions of Microsoft Word has this
text-to-audio ability for Microsoft Word files ?



Thanks,
jo

You may do it in Windows XP. It's referred to as "Narrator". Press
Winkey + U.

Thanks for the Narrator information. It works, just like you said.
However, I might have to shift to third party software for better audio
quality.

* Any recommendations (freeware, shareware, commercialWare) for
higher quality test-to-speech programs ?


Thanks again,
Jo.

Sorry, no opinion as I have no use for even the included one. Perhaps
googling for text to speech (see link below) will set you on the
evaluation path.
