[macvoiceover] Re: Speech in the edit pane of Text Edit quitting on me

Ok, I was waiting for someone to respond so I could jump back in on my own 
thread. 

I emailed the document back to myself, and tried opening it in Google Drive and 
Evernote on my iPhone. In Drive I was able to tell that the document isn't just 
simple text, it has some sequential list numbering that Voiceover didn't pick 
up. I'm assuming that this is what messed things up. I'll be firing up my old 
Windows machine to do the word processing.

Peace,

Ian
