Please send me a file you are having trouble reading and then lets try to
set up a time where you can call to go over this.
I don't have a problem reading a file sutch as our manual and in order to
duplicate this here I want to have us with the same file and doing the same
steps to see what I get here.
The file should be sent to billh@xxxxxxxxxxx, and the phone number is 260/489-3671
regards, Bill
Hi Bill:
When I wrote to you yesterday, I was too tired to elucidate my main problem. This is that, Window-eyes will not read a print file correctly. However, I don't want to rule out the possibility, that this is something unique to my system, and may well have nothing to do with Window-Eyes. The concept I haven't fully grasped, is the offset when assigning window co-ordinates. Window-eyes works very well for me when reading a braillle file with a braille display.
Cheers
Jack
