MessageLooks that way Jamie, George has given me some help as it was displaying
four pages at a time, and Phil M also has offered good tips.
However, it's still very ropey trying to identify positioning and general
layout. I've said to the guy that I'll just trust his design skills. I've
supplied all the ingredients so he can shuffle it around to fine tune it
visually.
Thanks anyway to you all.
Robin

Robin,
The only thing that comes to mind as an idea to try is that it might be saved
as a Word 2007 file which your Word 2003 recognises but can't cope with all the
images in terms of working with Jaws.
Check with the guy what version of Word he is using - if it's 2007, it would
probably update the file when he accessed it and would save as Word 2007 when
he saved it. He might be able to do a "Save As" and save it in Word 2003
format? It's worth a try anyway.
I'm guessing here because I'm still on Word 2000 so don't know anything about
either of these later versions!! (Smile)
Cheers,
Jamie

Hi,
In my version, I can get jfw to read out all the info on every picture logo
etc, must be about 30 of them, it'll say, picture 4.41 cm wide by 3.35 cm high
or whatever, but in the file the guy's sent me back, which is still a .doc
extension... looks like there's no pics at all.
I'm still convinced it's something to do with the way he's saved it or he's
embedded the pics some different way... I don't know.
Maybe Phil or Jamie will come to the rescue tomorrow when they get to work....
Thanks anyway. R

Hi, I wonder if it has been tinkered with, I seem to recall your saying
Jaws 7 worked better with Photos and I asked why did you think that? I wonder
if you have another bit of software like K.11 and can set to view images. I
think if George is around he may help you, or someone on list with some sight,
I wonder if Shirley clow could have a peek at it Dorothy

Hi all,
Can't work this out. I think I need sighted help, or someone with
experience in MS Word.
Using MS Office 2003, XP Pro, and both jfw 9 and trying 7.1.
I've done a 20 page draft brochure of pics and articles etc and sent it
to a council media fella who has been helping me with layout etc. He's sent the
revised doc back to me for checking over and no matter what I try, I cannot get
jaws to identify any pics, logos, graphics, anything... all I'm getting is the
text on each page.
He's resized it to A5, font Tahoma normal 10....but heck I just don't
know why jfw won't navigate through this for me to check it.
I really need a very kind volunteer who'd accept the doc off list and
maybe see why I'm having this problem.... any takers? It's 1.7Mb so broadband
user is obviously advisable.
I've opened up all the graphics, borders and pictures, tried all kinds of
layout options and it just won't pick up the photos or objects. I wonder if
he's amended it to some kind of presentation mode that gives jaws a problem?
