Hi All,
Having not seen the web site in question, it's also possible that the
graphic in question was produced by one of those programs that place text
inside a graphic. To the sighted and possibly novice web developer, they
just see what appears as text and continue building their web site oblivious
to whether it's a graphic with nice smooth text in their graphic or true
text, which we can read with a screen reader.
I've seen web pages bashed up by Microsoft Publisher, where if a bloc of
text appears close to a picture or word art, the program will just make a
nice bit fat graphic of that part of the page to preserve the visual layout
for the novice developer, Bingo you get a non-accessible web page.
Warm Regards - Elise Lonsdale

Ann, u queried:
As far as BitMaps does this mean that a photo was taken of text data and
then posted rather than someone typeing text info?
Basically, that's pretty much right. Whether the text was
photographed, drawn, etc., it was done as a graphic rather than text &
no screenreader, except possibly Cobra, reads that.
W/o an access code, if the site is ok till then, the link is pretty much
ndg.
