Hi their. Cross Over Office? I've never heard of that. I wonder if it would be possible to run Windows within a VmWare context, and then have your Windows screen reader also active? Obviously you wouldn't have it use a hardware synth, but you'd have to use some kind of software speech such as Eloquence or other MsAPI-compliant synth. -- Erik Heil <eheil at va3duk.serveftp.com> Phone: (865) 673-0542
