Thanks... I'll give that a try.
What does it do if the field label is not to the left, but above or to the
right?
On another notee...is there any way to restrict the speech to a specific
frame? The SayField works great, but if there are more than one field on a
given line, it reads all the way across. I tried toggling restrictions
feature, but that just caused it to read the field contents, and not the
labels.
Thanks,
Dennis Brown
