Hi John and all, John, you're so right, the problem went away when I rebooted. In one way asking the question after rebooting is the logical process. However, I was trying to avoid any problems which might have arisen if the issue persisted after rebooting, as when the problem occurred I was having trouble using speech to read text in e-mails, therefore had it continued, I may have sent e-mails containing spelling errors, which may have meant my point didn't come across clearly.
