Hello Donna! Simply highlight any text you want within a document, or an e-mail...or even a webpage. THen you can go to the "Services" submenu and find "Add to iTunes as a spoken track". Of course, you will need to enable this within System Preferences>Keyboard>Keyboard SHortcuts tab, then check the checkbox for the service you wish to add. These are located by selecting the "Services" shortcut category then finding the second table to the right of that which displays the services available to you. It is not necessary to assign a keyboard shortcut to it, though the item will still be available if you check the appropriate box.
