Hi Marissa:
Yes the document is loaded when I went to the Read Aloud menu. It's very
possible that the document is not formatted correctly. Nothing surprises me
anymore with us trying to keep up with technology. Lastly, I'll check and see
if there's a lock on the document. Thanks.

Hi Robby,
I wonder what could be causing that. I think that could mean either one
of two things. The first is that the document may be formatted incorrectly by
whoever loaded into adobe not you. But the person who created it. The second
thing is this is probably a stupid question, but is the document loaded when
you try the read aloud menu? I've found that when the document you want to read
is not loaded, the options in the read aloud menu become unavailable. Also, is
it possible that the document in adobe needs an unlock code? Some of them do. I
hope that I've been of some assistance. Please let me know how it works out!
Marissa

Hi Marissa:
Thanks for your suggestions. I already have Adobe 7 but I'm still
encountering this problem. When I went to the Read Aloud submenu, all of them
were unavaible. When JAWS tries to read it, it says something like "protection
failure" or something like that and it only downloads to 29%. Thanks.

Hi Robby,
Hmm, that is strange. You can't download the e-book? WHen I encounter
this, I usually use the insert key plus the letter B as in boy to let Jaws read
me what is on the screen. I don't know if that will help you, but I thought I'd
offer my suggestion. Also, if you have trouble reading the e-book., you can
download adobe acrobat 7 from www.adobe.com. It's free and contains a read
aloud submenu under the view text in adobe 7. I have it on my computer and it
works pretty well. Hope I've been of some help.
Marissa

Hi Listers:
I recently purchased an ebook from the Randomhouse site and all it
shows is a bunch of questions marks according to JAWS. I have done all of the
steps that Random House says to do, but it's still doing the same thing and not
downloading properly.
Has anyone else had this problem and if so, how did you fix it?
Thanks.
