Hi Nicholas,
The 2007 Office system no longer includes Speech recognition with the software. It's returned the controls for that back to the
Windows group. Windows Vista includes that support, Windows XP currently does not do it cleanly and you may want to look at more
complete third party products, such as Dragon v9 from
