Can anyone give me some tips on using narrator with Windows 8 ? It talks, but i can't get it to read what i want read! Very frustrating. I start it up it says some things on the page it's on (somewhere, but i don't know where) and then clams up, not another word. It reads it's own instructions really well, but that's about it.:huh:

Thank you for your reply! I will figure this out, I usually do after working with it for a while. It is supposed to be an ease of access feature for the blind. My eyesight isn't great, so I thought I would give it a try.
