Where are Read Aloud voices for Micorsoft Word?
I'm trying to use Read Aloud in Word and can only get access to "male" and "female" voices. I know there are others, Msft David, Msft Zira, and a whole bunch of others. I've used them in other progra...
I see David, George, Linda, Hazel, Susan, Catherine, Zira, Sabina, Richard, Mark, James, Raul and Sean. None of the others you mentioned, though. It's set to Microsoft Zira.
ASUS laptop runs Windows 10 Pro, 100% up to date. 21H2 19044.1586. I update weekly.
I removed Office completely, including using the SARA tool, then reinstalled, opened a doc, and the voices available are as before: male and female.
Why this is happening on my laptop (where I do my writing) and not my desktop I do not understand. Only difference is the desktop, a new Dell XPS, has Win10 home with intel i7, the laptop, a 1 year old Ryzen, runs Win10 pro.
Getting frustrated by this, though please know I much appreciate your help.

Ok, I finally solved it. It took a re-install of Windows, but now I get David, Zira and Mark in Word. Something in Windows must have been messed up.
Thanks for all your help.
