Thanks for this information Elenore. I am a bit annoyed with Nuance. I think the following statement on the Nuance talks page is misleading. Especially as it was after reading this text that I decided to purchase Quick Office. Beginning of quote
NEW! TALKS&ZOOMS now support reading and even editing word documents, for instance, e-mail attachments, in Quick Word. QuickWord is a part of QuickOffice, and its view-only version is pre-installed on most handsets, while the version that allows to edit text is pre-installed on the Nokia E-Series handsets, or can be purchased otherwise. End of quote There is no warning anywhere that Talks will only partly support the reading of menus in quick Office and will fail to allow file navigation within quick office. If for example you are trying to achieve the reading of a text file in quick office this seems impossible with talks present support. I think this is a misleading advert and I will raise this in the first place with sight and sound who sold the talks software to me.

No Talks will not access your files using speech via Quick Office. Put the files in a folder on the Mass Memory and then go to them there and open them from there. For example. I have a folder called Law and in that folder I have my notes which I transferred from the computer which are written in Word. I then go to that folder via file manager and locate a file and open it. Do remember that you have then to go to options and edit in order to read through the document. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Griffith" <[email protected]> To: "'Talks Mailing List'" <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, September 11, 2010 12:13 PM Subject: [Talks] Quick Office > Having failed in an attempt to successfully install, or use, 4 text > editors > including T Edit and B edit I today purchased Quick Office > > This installed fine but I am experiencing major difficulties in opening > files. > > If I select options open I can navigate down to the phone's mass memory > but > from there on talks does not read any file paths. > By experimenting I find that by pushing right Talks will announce AD Films > which is the first folder on the phone's mass memory .
