you know how on microsoft word (PC) if you highlighted text and pressed the windows key and S at the same time that wierd computer voice would say it. Is there a way you can do that on the Mac version of word, because i really liekd that voice. I used it for flash animations and i relaly want to be able to do that on my mac. is there a way you can do that on mac or an alternate program that has the same voice.

You can do it in Text Edit.
Just type out what you want to be spoken, then highlight it.
Once highlighted, from the menu bar go to:

TextEdit > Services > Speech > Start Speaking Text

You can change the voice used by going to System Preferences and clicking on the Speech preference pane.
