PLEASE HELP! I've asked this question on the Excel programming group,
they're usually very knowledgeable and helpful,but everyone always ignores
this one! maybe nobody knows the answer.

I want to use the speech facility in MS Office to read out cells from
Excel - within a VBA to tool I'm using. It works fine, but I need to ensure
that the right voice is used.

Does anyone know the code or API or whatever to make it switch to a
particular voice e.g. "Microsoft Sam" or "Michelle" I really hope someone
can help..

Thanks, Michelle

Well, if the Excel group can't help, your best hope is to try in a
Speech-related group:

microsoft.public.speech_tech
microsoft.public.speech_tech.sdk

I don't think the Media Center group will be of much help either, did you
cross-post in every MS group?
