Sub ABC()
Range("B9").Select
Application.Speech.Speak ActiveCell.Text
End Sub


Assumes you have the speech capabilities configured.

Thanks for responding - this looks like VBA that I don't know. Is there any
way to do it by just recording a macro?

Turn on the macro recorder (Tools=Macro=Record a new Macro) and perform
the action manually. See if it records anything.

James,

Press ALT-F11 and copy the Code in the messages above (and prepare for
a whole new world of functionality to open up to you). Press F5 to run
it.
