i think this is the keyboard settings.
but you can cycle through these settings with insert and number 2 (not on the
number pad)

What do you mean by the speak characters setting? Could tell us what
exactly you did to change that setting?

Jeff, Sorry about the rather delayed response.
As for the layout, I am using the default. The only setting I am
interested in making on a global level is the speak characters
setting, and this setting will not stick, no matter how I go
about saving it.
I know that I succeeded, all be it with a little help back when I
started using this PC, but after the hard drive crash, it has
been, so far at least, absolutely impossible to save this
setting.
I have saved all three ways, namely, ctrl+s, by tabbing to the
option in the settings dialog box, and using the save option in
the file menu, all to no avail.
Now here goes my paranoia, hopefully there isn't possibly some
sabotage by the powers that be in order to make the Office
version just that much tougher to use over time. In other words,
an attempt at acceleration of the inevitable <smile>. OK, I think
I'm kidding, but anything is possible online these days.
But anyway, if you or anybody else can help with this little yet
big annoyance, it would really be very much appreciated.
Sincerely,
Larry
