yes i know. That's where the problem is occuring. I tried going to the
manual from internet explorer and i'm having the same problem. so i'm
wondering if the problem is from the manufacturer's site, somehow?

Internet Explorer should open it.

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?
