Windows 7 Narrator does not read text

I can't get the Narrator to read text in the body of a Microsoft Word document (or any document - pdf, Web page, etc.)

I tried to use all the commands Insert (both with the text highlighted and highlighted text), and they all say "BLANK DOCUMENT"

The only thing he reads is "1 - Microsoft Word Document" and then he describes the menu options.

FYI - I also posted this question in the forum "Desktop and personalization" - I cannot say what forum would be better.

This message suggests a possible bug with Word, the solution is to copy the text in Notepad and read from there.

Narrator can be a little buggy fixed, or just not up to par, because I can't read in Word on Windows 7, either.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
    ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
    contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
    manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

    ===============================

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
    Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
    do it right.

    Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are

    Hello:

    Looking at your other posts it seems that you have yourself painted in a corner.

    Since there is no inheritance or the setting USB auto in the BIOS, your only option would be to remove the hard drive, then put it in a USB drive enclosure sata hard laptop, plug in another PC so it can be read, download the drivers there, you need and copy to you user profile on the hard drive removed.

    Chapter 5 maintenance manual provides the procedures of withdrawal and replacement for the hard drive.

    http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c03733656

    Reinstall the hard drive, run the drivers, and you should be good to go.

    These would be the drivers you need for your model...
