Text to Speech Function is available in Excel but not in Word

[Shrikant]

Excel is having Text to Speech function. However, it is not there in Word. It
is having only Speech to Text function. Actually, this (text to speech)
function is more relevant in Word than in Excel.
This also raises one other important question : MS has done a very good job
by bringing uniformity of appearance and functions across its range of
applications. Then how come it has omitted to incorporate the above function
in Word ? This is just the curiosity.
