[bcab] Re: Microsoft Publisher

Thanks George, I am using version 8 of Adobe reader, but some parts of the
document appear in Word as either broken up words, or every word in a string
without spaces.  I wonder if some articles may have been written in a
different programme and then been imported into Publisher, which changed the
underlying formatting.

Hi Graham,
 
What version of Adobe Reader do you have?
 
The latest V8 seems to be pretty good at a Ctrl + A command (Highlight all)
then Ctrl + C (Copy to clipboard), then Ctrl + V to copy into say Word.
 
George.

Does anyone have any experience of accessibility with Publisher, or trying
to get a document written in this programme into a readable format?

My son Samuel  has a piece of work to do, which is to turn his school
magazine into an audio format.  However, it was produced with Publisher and
the .pdf format in which it has been sent to him is unreadable. We tried to
cut and paste articles and convert them to text to remove the formatting,
but everything is either just run together with no spaces between words, or
broken down into a word a line.  No wonder Window eyes and Jaws can't read
it!  I assume that the document has been badly converted to .pdf or else
Publisher does strange things with text.

Any ideas very gratefully received.
