Speak Cells

Question

I turned on Speak Cells in Microsoft Excel but now I cannot remove. I removed the command from the toolbar. Any ideas?

HansVogelaar&nbsp;@Mark_S_122&nbsp;&nbsp;Hi all, thanks for helping out here. I found a solution (or my IT bods did at work). There is a command called Speak Cells On Enter. The problem is I couldn't find this in All Commands. So when in Excel I simply used the Search Box on the Excel Bar above the Menu bar and typed in Speak Cells on Enter. I then right clicked on this to add to toolbar. You need to use this to toggle on and off.

Press Alt+F11 to activate the Visual Basic Editor.
Press Ctrl+G to activate the Immediate window.
Type or copy/paste the line
Application.Speech.SpeakCellOnEnter = False
With the insertion point anywhere in that line, press Enter.
Switch back to Excel.
Did that solve the problem?

I had the same problem. I tried your suggestion. it now toggles, but instead of speaking on enter, it will only read out loud the series of cells I highligbhted

I'm afraid I cannot reproduce that.
