I am forwarding this from the GW Micro News list.  They are
asking anyone, no matter what screen reader they use, to send
Word documents they find particularly hard to work with for
whatever reason.  ((Word 2000 through Word XP is, I believe, the
versions of Word GW is working on, so files in these formats
should be sent.)

As many of you know, the main feature (but not he only feature)
of the next
release of Window-Eyes is unsurpassed support in Microsoft Word.
We have
looked at what is out there and we have raised the bar high.  I
am very
pleased with how much we have been able to do in Word and keep it
stable,
reliable and responsive.  We are getting close to releasing a
public beta
but before doing so we would like to have access to as many
complicated or
difficult Word documents as possible.  Meaning if you have Word
documents
that just do not work well or do not indicate certain aspects of
the
document like it should please send those documents to me
privately
explaining what issues you are having.  If you know of others
that deal a
lot with Word, please feel free to express this invitation to
them as
well.  If there are other lists that would benefit, please pass
this along
to those lists.  Bottom line, we want to see as many documents as
possible
in the next week or two to guarantee our public beta will be as
close to
the release product as possible.  If you are using another screen
reader
and still have problems with a Word document, send it our way.
The more
variety the better.  This is your chance to get your concerns
regarding
Word documents heard and addressed.

Please send any word documents directly to me at doug@xxxxxxxxxxx
with a
description of where the problems are or potentially are.

I can not get more detailed about our existing Word support other
than to
say it is much better than what is currently being offered in the
accessible arena.  We will be announcing more specifics, as we
get closer
to the public beta release.

Thanks for your assistance.

Regards,
Doug
