I just ran into the tables messages so I did an insert Z on the document, hit T
for tables, and it brought me to the "Menudo" section. I am willing to bet real
money that the scanner made the whole document a table to accommodate the
two-column layout.

OK, so those settings didn't fix anything.
What I think is going on is Jaws thinks the block quotes are tables and is
just reading the same row over and over again. I can give you an example
attached.
If one just reads through that on the constant read they should encounter
what I'm talking about.
Thank you,

Yes, that is what I thought, but graphical pages don't act like these.
It usually happens when I'm reading a quote:
It reads the quote and keeps on reading the quote till I stop reading and
down arrow to being out of the quote after which it announces the exiting of an
object. After that I'm out of the object and am able to keep on reading
normally till the next large quote.
I'll try these settings and see if that helps.
Thank you,

Brandon,
Sounds like each scanned page is just a graphical image being shown as a
picture in MS-Word. These will all be objects, and to a sighted person would
look just like a page with text.
Unfortunately you'll have to use some OCR software to recognize these pages,
and depending on the quality of the scanning, might not read well.
You might be better off scanning in the original pages from the book.

Subject: Objects in Word?
Hello,
my school scans in books for me to read, but for some odd reason just about
all the books when placed into Word have objects. The amount of objects ranges
from 12 too 1194.
The latter document is very slow to read and sometimes gets stuck in an
object and reads the same page over and over. Then in other cases it skips a
whole page and there is no way for me to get to that page except to search for
it with the find command.
I told the guy who scans about this problem, but he was rather confused and
has no clue what I'm talking about...
Any help would be welcome!
Thank you,
Brandon Keith
