Hi Francis, A lot depends on what format the CD ROM file is in. If for example it is Word, and is officially in columns, you should be able to convert columns back to text. Otherwise, without knowing the format, it's a tricky question to answer, since JAWS does have automatic column recognition, regardless of document format.

Khan Sent: 03 March 2004 15:35 To: duxuser Subject: [duxuser] Fixing pages with two columns Hello Listers: I have been given a CD-ROM containing a book with 24 chapters plus a number of pictures. When I looked at each of the chapters I noticed that each page was divided into two columns and while my JAWS program (programme)? read the text correctly, is there a way to fix the duxbury file so that columns 1 and 2 are shown as continuous? I am helping out with this project for a high school student and would like to get at least one volume of the book to the young lady asap. Please let me have the benefit of your experience and expertise to complete this project. Regards. Francis Khan --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free.
