I am using VBA to put together some phrases to be spoken with the text
to speech feature in excel.

What I've got is a list of string variables,

Phrase1
Phrase2
Phrase3
....
Phrase30

which are set equal to different words or phrases such as
Phrase1 = "Hello"

I can hard-code a variable name into the speech code such as:

XL.Speech.Speak Phrase1

this will successfully speak the string assigned to Phrase1.

What Im having trouble with is referring to the Phrase1-30 variables
in a for loop, something like

for i = 1 to 30
xl.speech.speak phrase & i
next

This code doesn't produce any speech, I'm assuming because the
variable name isn't being passed as intended. How can I refer to
variables within a loop, when the loop # (i) is part of the variable
name?

Thanks.
