Kelly,
I have created web pages using a couple of different methods.
1) Most of the time, I hard code the page typing HTML into a NotePad =
document and save it with the HTM or HTML extension. This can be a bit =
time consuming and tedious, but usually renders good results. When using =
this method, I can position and size the graphics I need with the =
appropriate HTML code. I can also add the Alt Text attributes while I'm =
there and not have to worry about coming back later to put that information=
in. For me, this is the easiest method to use and come back later for =
changes.
2) I have created documents in MS Word then saved them as Web Page =
Filtered, which takes out a lot of the junk MS Word likes to put in if you =
only use the Web Page option. However, there is still a lot of stuff to =
dig through in the document if you have to go back and modify the page =
later. Using this method, it is still very easy to add graphics , size =
them, and add the Alt Text attribute. The most difficult part for me was =
adding the alt text since you need to right-click the graphic to bring up =
the context menu. I have not found a good way to move to the graphic and =
open the context menu with the keyboard. I've gotten it to happen a =
couple of times, but it isn't consistant.
The more complex the page, the more difficult and time consuming it is to =
hard code.
Is this what you're looking for?

We had our Disability Awareness Month celebration this past Wednesday at =
work. One of the customers who came was very interested in the technology =
we use. It turns out he has a co-worker who when she was hired was vision =
impaired and could do Cobol programming on a screen that magnified the =
letters quite large. Now, however, this person is using JAWS. I =
appologize, i didn't get a chance to find out what version of JAWS. His =
question to me was what we as blind people used to create web sites, with =
the graphics, if possible. I told him that because I didn't have hte =
answer myself i'd put the question out on an e-mail list I'm on for the =
blind and see what I found.
So, there's the question. If you have further questions, please fire them =
at me. I asked him to call me at the store late this week and i'd give =
him what info I have at the time. i'll go ahead and ask him any questions =
you kind people may have to try and best solve the situation.
