Thank you Tony. What I want to be able to do is when I am in a text message that someone has sent me, I use the cursor key letter by letter if I do not catch a word but it would be helpful if I could move across word by word using the cursor. I tried your suggestion with a message opened but it did not do the trick. You might have another suggestion. What you suggested works fine if I am writing a message myself.

Then if so hit the Talks key and the digit 1 how many times it takes for you to get to your desired key echo preference. HTH, Tony. ----- Original Message ----- From: Alfred King To: vip_students@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, October 10, 2008 9:49 PM Subject: [vip_students] Mobile Phone Is there a way I can read a text message word by word? I know I can read character by character. Alfred
