Thanks everyone. I'm afraid none of the suggestions have worked so far. Changing the view doesn't help. Not able to copy to a new document or Notepad. I did save it as html and opened it in IE but got gibberish. I wonder why I can review the text with the JAWS cursor but not read it with the regular cursor. BTW: I get the same results with WindowEyes. I'll have to ask the author to resend me the document in plane text if possible.

I tried to save it as plane text but that came up empty. -- To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
