Speak Words Written In All Caps AS Words

I've been using TextAloud since v. 1x and I am currently using TextAloud v.3029.

I just want TA to pronounce any word written in ALL CAPS to read the word AS a word, and not spell it out, as it does with any of the premium voices I use. I thought speaking a word written in ALL CAPS was the default condition, but I can't seem to get it to work, and I have searched on multiple occasions for a solution, but I'm probably not searching for the correct terms.

Could someone please help me activate this feature, or point me to a previous post with a solution? My optimum response would be to be able to switch on an article basis, but at this point I'd go for anything that just assured methe behavior I'm looking for.

Thanks in advance!

Chuck

Hi Chuck

This question has come up a few times, I just created a FAQ post at http://www.nextup.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=6315 with instructions on how you can work around this problem using Pronunciation Dictionary Maintenance.

Let me know if it doesn't help.
