RE: to Jamal--EdSharp & nonprinting characters

Hi Jackie,
I am having an issue I need to resolve with my empower@xxxxxxxxx
account, from which I would normally discuss such issues, but I wanted
to get back to you.

I have not figured out how to make white space characters spoken when
cursoring through text, though do not know how much of the problem is
due to the screen reader and might be solved with a configuration
dictionary.  EdSharp uses the RichTextBox control of the .NET Framework,
so if anyone else discovers some relevant setting, please let me know.

Today I posted an update to EdSharp with a new configuration option
called HardPage Address (Alt+H in the Alt+Shift+C dialog).  If set to Y,
the status line will display the page, line, and column of the cursor,
rather than the default of the line, column, and percent position.
Alt+A has also been enhanced so that it toggles between these two
verbalizations of the address.  

Note that a hard page break in EdSharp is a form feed followed by a line
feed, which Control+Enter inserts.  Control+PageDown and Control+PageUp
can be used to navigate among pages, which EdSharp also calls sections
of a structured text document.

My web site server may not be reflecting the correct date of the latest
EdSharp, but you can still use the Elevate command (F11) and answer yes
to the update prompt.

Hope this helps, and let me know if other enhancements could further
assist BookShare volunteers.

Jamal

& this is *precisely* why I put it out on list instead of a private
email. Truth be told, I'd use it in a new york heartbeat over Microsoft
word, which I consider to be both a resource hog & seriously bloated, as
well as a possible security threat w/its potential for macro viruses,
etc. I should just pour thru Jamal's source code & see if I could change
the relevant parts myself, but picking thru some1 else's code can take a
huge amount of time, so, being busy (never mind lazy), I just figured
I'd ask the guru himself.
