[Missouri-l] Computer Question

[Peter Altschul]

Hi:

 

You can indeed convert "Pub" files into "TXT: files.  Just open the document
(JAWS won't tell you when it's opened, so I jjust assume it's open after ten
seconds), then control-f, a for save as, then tab once and down-arrow until
you find TXT.  You'll get some messages about losing format, pictures, etc.,
but just tell the computer that you don't care, and you'll get a perfectly
readable document.

 

Good luck, Peter

Scott,

 

                Sometimes a screen reader has a difficult time reading
publisher documents.  I don't work with Publisher much so I can't be much
help.  Supposedly you can convert pub documents to other formats such as
pdf, rtf, txt and Word documents. For more information about doing that,

Take care,

Hi Listers,

 

I have questions that is related to computer.

 

Is doc.pub blind friendly?

 

Can you read the doc.pub on the braille and screen reader?

 

 

Thanks,

 

Scott
