Thanks Debbie for cluing me in! Since white on black does not work with jaws, I will skip it for now. Way back when I could read with my eyesight, I preferred reading white letters on a black background, which was much easier on the eyes. The glare of reading black on white was too taxing on my system, causing me to have headaches. I just figured that low vision folks out there might like to know how to have a black background with white letters. The machine I used to do this would change the background and letters from white to black and black to white with a flick of a switch, which was most helpful at the time. I would think one could write a macro that would do the job for them on a regular computer today using MS Word, but I don't know for sure. Thanks again for clueing me in. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Debbie Scales" <debbie@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, September 14, 2004 9:19 PM Subject: Re: Determining Color With JFW > Harry, we are talking about when you create a webpage with HTML code and > you > can specify the colors when you create the webpage.
