William,
Do you know if these methods should be effective in Word 2000?
I've got Jaws 9, Word 2000, Windows XP Home and the effect of turning on the
Graphical Objects Detection is to make Jaws say something like:
"Section 0, Page 0, Text columns"
It's not much good at doing the old thing of announcing the image and it's
size etc.
Any ideas?
Jamie

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.

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.
