Using built in text to speech function
I would like to use the text to speech function built in to Windows 7 to have my computer read Word and PDF files aloud. I can find the place to select the voice and reading speed, but can not figure out how to activate the text to speech function to read my documents. I should mention that I don't have a visual impairment so am not using the narrarator option. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

You need to use "Narrator" to read the documents. Once Narrator Opens click on the header of the document you want to read. Give it a second or two and it will start reading aloud the document.
Narrator can be found in Control Panel\Ease of Access\... |
