Hey Jim & Ken,

I will try your update but it will most likely be
in the afternoon. I 'could' be just Word documents
I didn't even think to try moving the text into
word pad...

I'll update then try, if that fails I'll see if it
is just Word documents.

Thanks,

The Document is on a network share so it could
have been opened by 

another person... but it wasn't open by any other
program on the 

machine. Small files were able to load fine too,
it was once it was 

greater then a certain size the program would freeze.

 

Yes the system has office 2003 installed and I was
able to open the file 

with Microsoft Word.

 

Hope this helps

 

Thanks,

Hello Ken,

This is a new computer that has a new problem.

When you try to open a file via any of the following:
Menu: File>Open
Button: Open
Right-click the file etc etc...

When trying to open a word document it freezes the
program and doesn't respond.

This is specific to the machine and I had them use
one of their two other machines in the office.


One thing that was really interesting which may
help you or not, I was testing to see if the file
was corrupt so I copied some of the text to the
windows clip board to put onto a new file.. and I
was able to open the new one... so I then copied
all the text in the documents (about 28 pages)
nothing text aloud can't handle, I notice that you
can just put the text from the clipboard to text
aloud the same text I froze on trying to open...
worked in a flash.

As a work around I am just having him copy the
text from the documents he wishes to have audio
made for to the clipboard then into text aloud.


Thanks,

I called and Terry said he would like it if Myron
worked on this since he's familiar with the software.
