?I have a suggestion. Of corse I haven't tried it myself, but it may work. Copy and paste the document on a blank notepad fiel and save it. Then re-open the document and copy (or cut) it and paste it on a blank word file. In theory it will take out all formating, objects and all of that. I have done that when I was learning to use jaws and I needed to read a word version of a wikipedia article. Since wiki article have a huge amount of links, I just copy and paste back and forth between the text editors and it removed all those anoying links.

I have always used word until a little while ago when I started dealing with scanned material with all kinds of crazy tables and objects being placed into columns. When I place all that into Notepad it all goes away. So because I'm having to read everything in Notepad I don't have all the spellchecker to make sure a word is spelled right and I don't have a thesaurus to check words on the spot. So I'm wondering if there is any way to beef up Notepad so I can stop using word with all the messed up formatting problems?

I don't know who told you that Microsoft Word doesn't work well with Jaws, but unless you're using a really old version of Jaws with a newer version of Word, you've been misled. Word is extremely accessible with Jaws, and has been for many years.

Hello, I was told and found that Notepad works way better with Jaws than Word does. But I'm writing papers and whatnot in Notepad, but there is no thesaurus and I don't believe any spellchecker. Is there any way to beef up Notepad? Or are there any other text editors that have the features of word?
