Re: jaws with htm documents

This is not a hard copy document. it's an htm manual that you open right from 
the computer.

  Adrian, good suggestions. But one thing that Omar should try if all else 
fails is to put the document through an OCR program like openbook. This is how 
I usually handle PDF documents.

  Omar,

  I don't have information specific to HTM documents and I'm not sure how 
you're accessing it, but when JAWS won't read an item, I try one or other of 
the following:

  1. While focus is on the document name and without opening it, press the 
applications key or shift-F10. Arrow down the options until I hit "Open 
with..." My preferred choice here is Notepad, which strips out all codes that 
can interfere with JAWS' performance. 

  2. Open the document, select all with control-a and copy with control-c. Then 
I open Notepad and paste the result there. With any luck, even though JAWS 
couldn't read the original, it will handle the document now.

  Subject: jaws with htm documents


  Hello,

  I'm trying to open an htm document for a manual, but when i do, jaws 10 won't 
read it and seems to get stuck whenever i'm on the document. jaws won't read 
anything and the computer becomes very sluggish as long as i'm on the document, 
but when i minimize it and go to other applications it runs fine. It seems to 
be just the htm document. any thoughts?
