SYMPTOMS
The Text to Speech operation pauses when you move the Text To Speech toolbar while the contents of the workbook cells are being &quot;spoken&quot; by Microsoft Excel.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs because the Text To Speech feature in Excel 2002 is designed to pause when Excel receives any mouse or keyboard input; when you move the toolbar, this is interpreted as user input.



WORKAROUND
To work around this issue, click the Speak Cells button to resume the Text To Speech operation.
