Smile Self speaking Word documents....literally.

I've left you alone for too long...another guru question.

I would like to write some straight forward Word documents (using Word 2000, if it matters) and then add a an audio commentary.

So, if Gromit comes along and opens the page - the computer will read the page to him (or her [Miss Gromit?]) whilst he follows the words.

I'm not currently thinking of a "bouncing ball" - but who knows.

Can it be done by a computer operator of my meager intelligence (almost negative intelligence when it comes to these machines)?

If it makes any difference I have microphone already working, a CD RW, an audio/video capture board and a VCR all wired into the computer.

<<edit>> and I just might ask it to show the occassional jpeg picture in the process> <<end edit>>

Answers on a postcard...or a pprune posting.
