Does anyone know how to change the voice in MS Office Outlook read aloud? |

Probably under Speech Recognition in the regular Control Panel. Open the Text to Speech option in upper left and there is a drop down box to change voices. edit- in the All Settings Control Panel, Click the Time and Language option and there is a Speech option that has a drop down to select voices. |

Thanks David but no go. Oddly I don't have a Speech Recognition applet in my Control Panel and Time and Language options seem to have no affect on Outlook's Read Aloud. |

That seems to have done it Steve. I never noticed the 'controls' when having an email 'read'. Thank You!  I just wanted a female voice as my sister uses a fairly small font and I sit 9 feet from my screen. LOL! Just seemed a bit odd having my sister 'talk' to me in a guy's voice.

My pleasure. I haven't used the feature, but I can see where it would be very useful for your situation.

And how did you add the red circle? |

I did indeed use the snipping tool. Once you have the snip, there is a pen icon (also a highlighter icon) in the snipping tool's toolbar. The pen can be different colors. I clicked the pen and then used my mouse to make the circle. Then saved the image and uploaded it. -steve |

As many times as I have used the snipping tool, I never noticed the pen and highlighter in the toolbar. I have always just snipped, saved, and uploaded (or attached) my image. |

I love the snipping tool, bbarry. I keep it pinned in my task bar for easy access. The ability to highlight and markup the snip is great, although limited when using a mouse.

Katy, you have to look at the options. Just as with most programs there is a 'File' tab. Click on 'File' and select to 'save as...'after capturing your 'snip'. This is the same as with most software; you have options to save. If you are having specific issues with the Snipping Tool PLEASE start a new thread with the issue. |
