I just ran into the tables messages so I did an insert Z on the document, hit T for tables, and it brought me to the "Menudo" section. I am willing to bet real money that the scanner made the whole document a table to accommodate the two-column layout. ----- Original Message ----- From: Brandon Keith To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, October 27, 2010 7:48 AM Subject: Re: Objects in Word? OK, so those settings didn't fix anything. What I think is going on is Jaws thinks the block quotes are tables and is just reading the same row over and over again. I can give you an example attached. If one just reads through that on the constant read they should encounter what I'm talking about.

Yes, that is what I thought, but graphical pages don't act like these. It usually happens when I'm reading a quote: It reads the quote and keeps on reading the quote till I stop reading and down arrow to being out of the quote after which it announces the exiting of an object. After that I'm out of the object and am able to keep on reading normally till the next large quote. I'll try these settings and see if that helps.

Brandon, Sounds like each scanned page is just a graphical image being shown as a picture in MS-Word. These will all be objects, and to a sighted person would look just like a page with text. Unfortunately you'll have to use some OCR software to recognize these pages, and depending on the quality of the scanning, might not read well. You might be better off scanning in the original pages from the book.

Hello, my school scans in books for me to read, but for some odd reason just about all the books when placed into Word have objects. The amount of objects ranges from 12 too 1194. The latter document is very slow to read and sometimes gets stuck in an object and reads the same page over and over. Then in other cases it skips a whole page and there is no way for me to get to that page except to search for it with the find command. I told the guy who scans about this problem, but he was rather confused and has no clue what I'm talking about... Any help would be welcome!
