when in outlook -i cant change the voice if i click "from CURSOR" - if i clcik "Speak" I can change voices OK

Not sure what this could be yet, I'll need some additional information.

First, can you describe exactly what is happening when you're not able to change voices? Does the voice change in the Outlook dropdown list, but TextAloud doesn't actually switch voices? Is the voice dropdown list disabled? Are you seeing any error messages?

Second, it may help if you duplicate the problem in Outlook, then go to the TextAloud main window and click Help -> Report A Problem. I may be able to pick up some things from the debug information included in the problem report.

Thanks.

the 1st situation
I click open an email - say the one you just sent me
i click the textaloud toolbar
the tool bar shows a voice - Scansoft Karen 22

if i click Speak to voice plays as Karen

If i click Cursor thew voice is microsoft Sam i think.

it will play from the Cursor but it will be the Sam voice

if i change voices to Scansoft lee - the same applies
click Speak and lee voice is used
click Cursor and the Sam voice is used

choose the Sam voice from the drop down list and it is used for Speak & Cursor

i dont remmember if i have installed all my voices - maybe not

hope this helps
cheers
