Hi Debbie, Do you know about the freeware program called Say Pad? this program will convert a text file into an MP3 file. Although I had downloaded and installed this program, I haven't yet used it, but I heard about it on the PC-Audio list and am told it's quite a nifty little program, and the price is right...<grin> You can read more about Say Pad by visiting www.inspiredcode.net HTH Norma
