Hover Text reads from start of Pages doc on MacBook Pro

I'm running MacOS 26.1 on a M2 Pro MacBookPro I use Hover Text frequently. for the last 4 days when I'm working in a Pages document hover text starts automatically reading at the beginning of the document. Anybody experiencing something similar?

I am not certain what you mean by hover text, but when I select specific text content from a paragraph and then choose Edit > Speech > Start Speaking, it will recite only the selected text and then stop speaking.


Otherwise, a long-standing (years) feature of Pages. where no text is selected, is that a Start Speaking request will start at the beginning of the document and drone on until you stop the speaking request.
