Which version of Word are you running.
I just opened a doc, highlighted some text, went to the search bar at the top tool bar Alt-Q, and typed in “Read Aloud” and it worked
The Word version on the PC has “immersive reader” but I want to have the narrator read a document on a laptop that has Word 2007. I already typed in as many things as I could think of under “help” - like “read aloud” (nothing), “text to speech” (nothing), and “narrate” (nothing).
I keep thinking that if I could reset Windows 10 Narrator back to its original settings it would probably work on whatever document I wanted to read whether in Word or some other application.
