Hi Lynn,
What version of MS Office and Windows are you using and what language are you working in?
For Office XP and Office 2003 Dictation is available as an optional install feature for English (U.S.), Chinese and Japanese. For
Office 2007 it isn't included in Office at all, even though MS has started a new Office products group to combine the 'ffice
communications' technologies together http://microsoft.com/office/uc . It's now a 'Windows team' responsibility.
Windows Vista does provide a dictation mode (adds some features and takes some away) for use with MS Office, but apparently for
Windows XP, MS hasn't provided a 'how to' that I've noticed yet. You may want to ask the folks (if you're trying the 2007 Office
system beta on Windows XP) in the desktop speech newsgroup below if they have a method for providing it.
There are 3rd party products that do well with this functionallity as well, such as Dragon http://www.nuance.com/

Thank you Bob-but I was kind of hoping I could just use Word without
installing my Dragonspeak program...I'm not too tech inclined. I have Office
200, don't know which Word, and XP 6.something w/ an update p2 something. I
tried downloading a couple of things for Office 2000 but there's still no
'speech' on my tools dropdown...But THX very much for answering!

Hi Lynn,
Office 2000 did not include the speech engine. That came in the next version, Office XP (2002). If you have Dragon Naturally
speaking it has more features than the MS Office version of dictation and works about the same, in method.
