Netta, Thank you for the information. I'm glad that your screen reader was able to read all the dots. Since they are not meaningful in the context of the document, I suspect most 'readers' of the book might be put off by a frequent repetition of 'dot, dot, dot, dot,...'. Any idea about how to get rid of them? _____ From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Dornetta Sent: Monday, June 25, 2012 2:16 PM To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Strange dotted lines in text Hello John, I am a JAWS user and it "read" fine. Where the dotted lines are, JAWS just read or said dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot and so on. HTH Netta "Just because you are blind does not mean you lack vision"-Stevie Wonder
