Text to Speech not working

hi,  I can't get the TTS Text-to-Speech to work.

I have gone to Settings > Accessibility > Text-to-speech output >

Blue button is enabled against Google Text-to-speech engine (the only engine there)

In the Google engine settings, the language is English (United Kingdom)

Voice data is downloaded

I have tried with the options for 'auto update voice' and 'only on wifi' both on and off

The Speech rate is set at normal, and I hear the different options when I try them

The "Listen to an example" plays the selected voice

Default language status says UK English is fully supported

But - I cannot work out how to get it to work - it's supposed to work in Messaging app, isn't it ?

highlighting whole messages, conversations, tap, tap and hold, tap/hold/highlight never comes up with any option to "play text-to-speech"

Any ideas ?

This worked fine on my dreaded iPhone  (hurumph!)

thanks

Mike
