I am using Jaws 5.0844 and do not have Open Book or anything like that.
The security settings will not allow me to read that stuff. It also does not
allow me to copy the information. Thank you for the information I sure do
appreciate it. Do you know of anywhere the manuals are in text format other
that pdf?
