Scott,
I just tried with my braille display and still find it difficult, but I think all will be better once it can be downloaded in brf.

Here's the URL:

Once again, this feedback has been very valuable in getting the design right. We are looking to prioritize new users, blind users, and sighted users (in that order) so the standard solutions are not always the right ones!

Scott,
I can use refreshable braille as well.
What is the address for the manual so I can look with my note taker?

Quick poll:

Stacey is reading with a screen reader.

Lori, you are also?

Jill, you are using refreshable Braille?

Others?

Scott, For me, if I'm reading something like a manual with a screen
reader,
headings are just easier. You could have a link for each chapter, and then
have headings throughout the chapter that shows the different sections.

I am not quite sure I follow here.

Clearly you are all encountering something similar that disrupts
navigability for you. The first link on the TOC takes you to the start of
each chapter. Why not just scroll down the page from there?

Is the issue that scanning the through a detailed TOC is too much? That
that the "Go Back" links scattered throughout the chapter text too
intrusive or something else entirely?

Thanks

Hi Lori,
That's what I thought when I read the manual a couple days ago.

Stacey, I agree with you; in an online version, it would be much easier
to
navigate with headings or lists.

Laurrie,
I'd like to see everything on proofreading in one section. Not split by
various links. Maybe it could have headings instead.

Hi, Everyone,

Am I the only one who finds this online manual that we are reviewing this
week to be extremely cumbersome to navigate?
I am reviewing Section 4 about Proofreading, and whenever I complete
reading one small section, I wish there were a link that said "next" so
that I could just proceed.
Am I missing some simple way to read through this document subsection
after subsection?
I am not a novice at reading documents with links and other internet
materials, but this manual prompts me to feel like a total beginner!
Any thoughts appreciated.

Lori C.
