Also on most newspaper sites there is a link to print the article if you can find it to enter on. I know you don't want to print the darn thing. This will give you a page of text without the graphics that might let your screen reader do better on the page.

Also, another way to do things that works occasionally, is to choose the mobile version of the web page.----- Original Message ----- From: "Darla J.
