If I am struggling with writing something coherent, I will occasionally have Microsoft Word read it back to me out loud.

This function can be accessed by clicking "Review" in the tool bar, then selecting "Read Aloud Speech".

This works well with long paragraphs of text in a more narrative style (e.g., my chapter president's messages).

Thanks David.

Just remember, "Coherent" is not one of the 4 C's!

Specs are like a song. Often indecipherable and misquoted by many.
