Hi Carol, No, you don't understand it right <Smile>. I was telling you how to toggle cursor mode, though I didn't call it that. Simply press the Talks key, then press and hold the number 2. You will hear Cursor Mode is and whatever the next option is, Letters, Words, or original behaviour. Nothing to do with writing texts.

I found what I think I wanted, in Talks Settings, Advanced tab, cursor mode but, try as I might, though my phone will tell me it's checked, I cannot alter it so that it will work, even if I do set the keyboard setting to words as well. What's happening here??? I'm running the latest version, as I think you know. -- Carol carol.pearson29@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- Carol carol.pearson29@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx On Saturday, June 14, 2008 8:12 PM (UK time), Steve Nutt at steve@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx said: > Hi again Carol, > > I forgot your specific question regarding reading text word by word or > letter by letter.
