Hi Lindy,

I replied to the other thread on this topic and I'm glad you got the docx file working. I did want to quickly ask - which instructions did you have trouble with? If it's the instructions for the VR Stream I can't help, but if it's something in the book or it's associated documentation I can definitely look into it.

Kind regards

Quentin.

Hi list

After a lot of failed attempts, copying the .doc file to $VRtext
folder seems to have worked. It seems that the instructions that are
in the manual may need to be revised.

Cheers

Well thank you for the help eric.  I will go get the software now.  Just to let all of you know filehippo infected my computer many times when I use to use.  I stopped using file hippo last year butt I still go to the site to get info about other programs that i use butt I never down load any thing from that site at all.

This is fantastic news!  I've used cdex for over 15 years and I never thought we'd see another update.

New website address as well:

Do not use filehipo or some other third party source like that or you will risk your computer getting extras you didn't ask for.

Best,

This works fine on ordinary numbers but ruins the speaking of currency amounts, so there is a trade off.

If so, you should set your keyboard layout to "Laptop"

Hi Rosemarie,

I hear that oddity with his messages too.  What is happening is that the spaces between words are some sort of unrecognizable character--unrecognizable to screen readers and certain synthesizers I would guess.  I think it may be because he is sending his messages from an IPhone or other IOS device.  It is interpreting his spaces between words as some sort of character.
