Alf,Dolphin EasyConverter is a program for converting written files like word documents or HTML pages into Daisy talking books. It was bought for me by the Disabled Students Association when I was doing my OU degree.
It is somewhat less than intuitive. I tried installing it on my new PC today but it doesn't work without MS Office installed.
If you're still using Windows XP the stuff Mo was telling me won't be relevant because he was talking about Windows 7.

Mike the guy was OK but I could tell that a hearing impaired person (did not think when posting the link) might have had difficulty in hearing him. He was of course demonstrating it visually. It was interesting though as I then went on to read Mo's response to you giving same instructions. Now I tend to just tab around and find it OK but I guess you found all that too slow. May have a look at changing to small icons though to see what that is like. Presumably it gives you a list form. What is this converter thing (Dolphin) that you refer to. I use Supernova but have not heard of it. Cheers, Alfe ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael A.

I guess English isn't his first language. But I managed to do it with Mo's instructions. The layout of the Control Panel is the only thing so far that I don't like about Windows 7. It didn't take me as long as I thought to get used to the different interface. I thought I would have a week of swearing at the computer but not so far. The only problem I have had so far is after installing Dolphin EasyConverter my SAPI 5 system is totally screwed up. Can't say I'm surprised there.

The closest you're going to get is the small icons view which displays everything. go in to control panel and tab until you get to catagory button. press space, down arrow to small icons and hit enter. that view should be a little more tolerable.

So far I like the interface and have no real problems with it, but one thing I don't like is the Control Panel. Is there a way in Windows 7 of switching the Control Panel interface back to the old classic view? Thanks for any help.
