Thanks Jim. BTW, I tried to visit a couple of the accessibility web addresses listed at the bottom of your message, but IE reported that the pages were not found. Are the addresses no longer valid? Thanks, Fred From: Homme, James Sent: Wednesday, November 10, 2010 7:27 AM To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: Labelling icons Hi Fred, The short answer is no. Someone would need to put the icon in a label control. Jim Jim Homme, Usability Services, Phone: 412-544-1810. Skype: jim.homme Internal recipients, Read my accessibility blog.

I know you can label graphics using JAWS, but that is not what I am asking. I guess what I am asking is is there some kind of text property that can be added to a graphic that JAWS can detect and speak automatically without using JAWS itself to label the graphic? I don't need to know how to do it, I just want to know if it is possible.
