Hi: If you hit insert + 0, to enter the script manager, then control shift D for the default script manager you can assign a key to mute the synthesizer on and off. Once in the default script manager hit control L then the letter M till you find Mute synthesizer then enter to be placed into that script. Now once in the mute synthesizer script hit control D and you can assign a key to toggle the mute synthizer; I use windows key plus M, then hit OK and control S to compile. Now Windows key + M will toggle speak on and off. HTH Warmest Regards, Terrill Reynolds Regular Email: terrill1@xxxxxxxx MSN Messenger: terrillreynolds36@xxxxxxxxxxx AOL Messenger: terrill 36 Yahoo!
