Hi, Jill! I have had some limited experience with Word Perfect, but while it isn't perfect, I prefer to use Word 2002 with Jaws. Freedom Scientific offers a tutorial for it, and I believe Project Assist from Iowa Department For The Blind might offer one as well. I don't have the link to their site at the moment, and I'm in a hurry, but you can go to my site and visit the page for blindness-related resources, and it's there. http://www.janajackson.com/blindness.htm Hope this helps!

My operating system is XP home with word 2002. I am going to need to invest in a tutorial if I continue to use this word processor. Does anyone use Word Perfect instead; if so what is your evaluation? Jaws has a tutorial for version 10. I hope this isn't considered off topic, but I am trying to decide which method is the best for me in validating books as I want to do the best possible job that I can. I am using a braille display with my computer as well and need some assistance in configuring it, but my main concern right now is which word processor to use. Thanks for anyone's ideas. Jill
