I think you need to set the cursor mode to letters. Do this by pressing Talks key followed by long press of the number 2 on the number pad. You want to hear Talks say -original message- Subject: [talks-uk] Reading a text message From: "Martin" <martmaid@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: 22/02/2011 10:40 am Hi All especially Elleanor who I know has a C5. Problems with reading a text message. When I receive a message I slect it to read it. It reads fine but I can't use the arrow keys to read bits of the message. For example I can't read line by line. If I press right arrow to read letter by letter it goes to the next tab. I'm hoping Talks 5.2 has fixed this. Cheers Martin
