Making Excel speak to teach pronunciation
 
I need to create a worksheet containing a different word in number of cells
for distribution to my students who are learning English as a second language.

When the student selects a cell the word will be pronounced to be heard on
the student's computer speaker or headset.

I have just discovered the Text to Speech feature in Excel 2003 but cannot
make it work as described above.

Questions:
1. Is there a way to get Excel to speak the word when the cell is selected?
2. Text to Speech feature has a computer generated voice that is OK, but not
great. Is there a way for me to create a .wav file for each cell and play
that file when the cell is selected.

Help on this will really be appreciated.
