[access-uk] Re: Screensaver

Good point Peter, I should have explained more.

Yes I'm totally blind but I'm also a teacher in a secondary school. The poweres 
that be have asked all teachers to put their learning intentions for each 
lessons on a white board so that all pupils will 'know where their lessons are 
going.' As this means writing it is a problem for me. I could use my projector 
screen with a page which shows all the time but this would mean I'd have to 
remember to revert to the said page every time I finished using the DVD or 
Display programs. I thought it would be an innovation if I could prepare a page 
quickly with the learning intentions which would work as a screen saver - every 
time I'm finished with the projector it would revert to the standard learning 
intention screen. I'm fairly certain there are  ones which convert standard 
pages into a screen saver image. Ideally for the pupils' attention one with 
scrolling text might be 'cool'. 

So as you can see it's not really for my benefit at all, but I'm hoping to gain 
some information from anyone who may have used such an ACCESSIBLE program.

Thanks again.
Gordon

  If you are using jaws, why do you want a screen saver?  If you are blind like 
me, wy doyou even have your screen turned on.

    Has anyone any experience of a screensaver program which allows you to 
create screens containing text, pictures etc.? I would like one which works 
well with Jaws.

    Perhaps there's one which can be made from pages taken from other programs 
like Powerpoint or MS Word?

    Something which works like a small presentation on screensaver would be 
ideal.

    Thanks for all your help.
