Hi Laura,

Okay, I think I figured out what's going on, just not sure how to fix it.  If 
the word "I" comes after the word "Book" VO will read it as "1", I'm assuming 
it sees the "I" as the Roman numeral 1.  If the word "I" comes after the word 
"books", VO reads it as it ought to, i.e. as "I".  I'm going to check to see if 
there is a setting in VO to stop it from reading roman numerals.

Thanks Laura.
