Hi Mary, No no. Sorry, didn’t mean to be confusing. It just wasn’t using my voiceover settings. So it used Samantha, and the speed wasn’t the speed I usually use, and stuff like that. But after the reboot and the re-entry of my password by my husband, all settings were in place and active. That is not something you need to worry about. Cheers, Donna Sent from my iPhone
