Hi Robin and Jamie,
I'll have a play around with Word 2002 and 2000 when I get the chance
and let you know, although my gut feeling is that "results may vary"
with versions older than 2003, as they aren't the optimal versions for
JAWS 9. I'll try to find a way around any problems anyway.
Anyone else having similar problems in older versions of Word?

William Burton

Hi William et all,
At work here the network MS Word is actually only 2002, with a serial
number folowed by SP3... Um, now that's a risky statement to make here,
but, when making the command ctrl shift O, jaws simply says processing
inline objects and it tells me the dimensions of the logo only, but I
know it is in the top left of the page, though it doesn't give me it's
location.
I can't select it as such, there's only an ok and a cancel button in the
dialogue box. Also, I can't see any reference to picture in the format
menu or anywhere else for that matter. Strangely, the objects... In the
format menu is greyed out, unavailable.
Phil: You have to be a 3 handed contortionist to make the command ctrl
jaws key shift and G...but I managed to get the dog to help me out with
his paw on the jaws key, but it didn't find any embedded
objects....*smile*
I have Office 2003 at home so I will check this all out when I get home
tonight.
This will be extremely useful to me as I'm about to embark on another
blind golfing event brochure, filled with pics, logos ads and articles
etc.
Thanks for your help,
Robin.

Hi all,
It should be possible to detect pictures and graphics in Word using JAWS
9, though it's not something that's turned on by default.
If you've got Word 2007, it'll be called "Picture and graphical objects
detection", and with Word 2003 it will be "Graphical Objects detection".
Either of these options can be found in the JAWS verbosity dialog,
Insert + V.
This should read out the embedded pictures - by default you'll get the
location of the picture file or something similar, but you should be
able to tag them fairly easily. In Word 2003 you need to select the
picture by using Control plus shift plus O.. then you can go to the
Format menu, and select Picture. Press control and tab to get to "web",
and you will be presented with an alternative text edit. Enter the tag
you want for your picture here, then press the OK button. You should now
find that you'll get the name of the tag will read out whenever you
cursor past it.
Robin, let me know if that verbosity option works for you.. if not,
maybe the graphic in the letterhead isn't in line with the rest of the
text, so the normal text cursor cannot select it.
HTH.

William Burton

Hi,
Think this is one of the down sides of jfw 9. It used to tell me where
my logo was on my charity letterhead but it doesn't now.
I have to revert to an earlier jfw for this to be announced. Also, there
used to be a setting for pictures and borders to be announced but that's
disappeared in jfw 9.
