If dealing with text files, I find NoteTab or another, dedicated text editor to be more efficient, reliable, and friendly than Word. A strong Word user, however, can probably do the same things, and if one is facile using Word with a screen reader, it may make more sense to stay with the same interface. Of course, if one is dealing with Word documents or RTF files, Word is the only choice between the two, since NoteTab does not support them.

Thanks. Peace and Hope, Donna
