Hello Everyone,
Is that true? Well, if so, I would really like that. I have a book I
am proofing and for some reason my jaws likes to freeze once in a
while in that particular document for some reason. I don't know if
because it has too many pictures?? I know Jaws doesn't like pictures,
but I am not sure and it's kind of hard to proof that book. Well, if
we can get help from another volunteer, it would be SO AWESOME!!!! If
not, I would just have to release that book. Thanks all
Nimit
