Just checked out the answer from Soronel. Say all starts at the beginning of the line on which the cursor is located. If you are on the last line it will only read the last line. If you want to start reading at the beginning of the document, press Control plus home and it will take you to the top of the document.

Subject: Re: Trouble with "say all" Say all normally starts from the current cursor position, possibly the beginning of the current line instead of the current position proper, but it does not start from the beginning of the document as a general matter.
