Try opening it by Microsoft word and from the file menu select save as and then 
save it as plain text format.
Then, hopefully,  you can access it by notepad.

  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?
