XL2002: Text To Speech Operation Pauses When You Move Text To Speech Toolbar (279307)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Excel 2002
This article was previously published under Q279307

SYMPTOMS

The Text to Speech operation pauses when you move the Text To Speech toolbar while the contents of the workbook cells are being "spoken" by Microsoft Excel.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs because the Text To Speech feature in Excel 2002 is designed to pause when Excel receives any mouse or keyboard input; when you move the toolbar, this is interpreted as user input.

WORKAROUND

To work around this issue, click the Speak Cells button to resume the Text To Speech operation.
