[bksvol-discuss] I Surrender!

All,
I have been hopelessly defeated by the book about Drupal 6.0 that I had
scanned and attempted to process over the past five or six weeks. The other
book I did took a little time to scan, spell check and it was validated in
about 2 days. With a lot of help from Jim and Jackie, I can still not get
the Drupal book into a state in which it will pass the validation process.
First, I had the issues with section breaks which some kind soul helped me
fix. The problem with MS Word and text boxes, though, continues and the
JAWS keystrokes that Jim and Maria sent didn't work properly. In fact, the
one that Maria sent announced that there were more than 4300 objects in the
drawing layer but that JAWS was only able to move 9 to the text area.
I have been able to get this book into readable .rtf but without acceptable
page breaks. I must admit that whatever it is that Word is doing has
defeated me. A lot of the work I get paid to do is writing, I love MS Word
as it is, in my opinion, the most powerful writing tool (way beyond word
processor) ever to make it to my desktop. I've been using Word since
version 3.0 for DOS back in 1986 and it has always served me very well. I
guess it saved up all of the frustrations I've heard from other people about
MS Word and decided to hit me with this ton of bricks all at once.
I have the file in TIFF, OPD (rev. 15) and RTF. If anyone wants to continue
this battle, I will send it to you in whatever format you prefer. I also
have it in RTF without proper page breaks so anyone who just wants to read
the book can write to me offline and I can send that copy to them directly.
Thanks,

I think you're looking for CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+C? That command attempts to move
objects from the drawing layer to the text layer. In order for JAWS to then
be able to detect these objects in the text layer, if the move was
successful as reported once the above command is pressed, enable the Picture
and Graphical Objects Detection option in the Adjust JAWS Options
dialog/INSERT+V. CTRL+SHIFT+O displays a list of Inline objects.
HTH,
Maria

Hi Chris,
See what happens if you try to use the JAWS command to bring them into the
text layer. I don't remember the key stroke. It may be something like
Control+Shift+O.
Thanks.
