Win11, voice typing, headset working, typing in Word,voice not activating

Setting up new win 11 work station using win pro. Using Microsoft headset and setup worked OK for input and output.
Then opened a page in word and started typing in capitals, used WIN+H to activate microphone, A blue circle started spinning around the Mic Symbol which I assume meant it was functioning. Have also been into" Privacy" to activate use of mic etc.
Thought I had ticked all the boxes but am only 2 days into getting used to Win 11 and am stumped.
Suggestions please

    You know how they say computers are supposed to make your life easier? Well, apparently, that's a suggestion, not a guarantee. I swear, I feel like I'm back in the Stone Age, banging rocks together, trying to make fire! Only instead of fire, I'm trying to get voice typing to actually work.
