Yall:
Many of u on this list may know Jamal Mazrui. He is a programmer,
works w/the fcc, & basically does a great deal of accessibility work
for the blind & is in fact blind himself.
He has written an editor called EdSharp, & it can edit rtf files. He
has, at my request, recently added a feature so that page numbers
display on the status line. Searches can be performed for stuff like a
line break by using \n (backslash n), for example. Although he
originally designed it as primarily a programming/html editor, we
(that is, Jamal & some volunteers on this list & myself) are now in
continuing discussions as to how to make this a very useable
alternative to word for bookshare volunteers, as he himself is a huge
proponent of bookshare. The commands pretty much duplicate those in
word or wordpad & the interface doesn't get any more accessible. I
really rather suspect that within the next week or 2, we'll have
ironed out what glitches remain & it'll be yet 1 more tool in our
arsonel. Unlike Microsoft, where you've gotta wait forever for a
change to take effect, Jamal is responsive within days. Plus it's open
source so if any of u aspiring programmers out there wanna change the
code yourselves, knock yourself out! Plus Jamal, as talented &
knowledgeable as he is, nonetheless remains a really nice guy to work
with. No ego there.
It's available from:
www.empowermentzone.com
I believe.
Roger, u may want to look at your font & make certain it isn't too
large. Sometimes large fonts produce line breaks that go away when the
font is made smaller & the proper amount of text can fit on the page.
Night & blessings, yall.
