oh once you press on updates from options. Provided you have internet access
you just listen to what Talks is saying and follow the various screens. It is
so simple even I could do it and it was my first purchase on-line!

You do not have version 6 then. Go to updates and upgrades and follow the
on-screen instructions. it is a fairly inexpensive application.

When I hit the soft 1 key the list of option does not include "edit".
It says zoom, full screen, go to sub menu, find, updates and upgrades,
saving options, help, and exit.
I've tried entering on all of these to see what happens and I never get the
document being read.
Thanks again for any help.

Go to options by pressing soft key one, the key on top left. Then arrow down
to Edit and press select. You should now be able to arrow down line by line,

I have a few questions.
I am new to this list.
I just purchased Talks and have a Nokia N 86.
I downloaded a word document to my cell.
The document is listed in my "file manager".
When I open the file, the document is listed and visual to a sighted person.
But, Talks does not read the document.
How do get Talks to read a word document?
Is there a better place to download these files?
Thank you for any help.
