Andy, When you installed WE did you install eloquence voices? If so its very
easy to change the voice to Eloquence.
Control backspace to the WE control pannel, alt to enter the menue, cursor
up till you reach synthesizer selection, the first combobox that you come to
use the up and down cursor keys till you find Sapi, then tab and use the up
and down cursor keys to select ETI eloquence. Once you have the voice you
want tab to the ok button and press enter.
If you didn't install eloquence during the WE installation process you just
need to put the WE CD in and if my memory serves me right theres a button as
a part of the initial screen to install eloquence.
HTH
Yusuf
