I'm currently using MS XP, and am trying to use the Speech Recognition
feather . But it doesn't seem to work. In Word, after I opened a new
document and clicked Tool/Speech, sometimes nothing happened, and
sometimes a window pop up promping me to give it a training. I then
clicked next, but nothing happened again. I also tried to do a profile
training using the tool box on the Language Bar, but again, i got no
response.

I already added the speech recognition feature at control panal/add
and remove program/MS office/change/office shared features/speech and
my microphone was also turned out.

Please help me out of this technological bind. All I want is to get
the speech recognition function properly.

Thanks!

Please

Have you tried rebooting since installing the speech recognition feature?

Yes. I did. How does the speech recognition usually work ? I'm
thinking if i can get the training up and running, the speech function
will then work...
