Will word turn text to speech? If so how?

Office 2002 onwards, the "sockets" are there for plugging
in speech stuff, and Word 2002 comes with a speech
command/dictation for U.S. English (mid-West
pronunciation). Excel has "text to speech" capability.
I believe I heard once that there are third-party add-ins
you can get to have Word "read" to you, but I'm not
familiar with any of the products. Try searching on Google?

Word does not have this functionality built-in, no. From
