This is really useful when looking at old documents and I need to check just that one word I can't make out. So much better than having to zoom the whole document. \nAlso in terms of voices there are 3 English UK voices in addition to the US options and there are also French voices offered since it is dependant on location of your device. \nThanks for some great useful tips .

Hi Krista, the search box is located (in Windows 10) in the lower left corner of your monitor next to the start button (the square divided in to four squares). It typically says "Type here to search." If you don't have the search field then press the start button and you should be able to search from one of the options there. I hope this helps. Marian
