If you route the JAWS cursor to PC cursor, then use page-down (to read a 
screen at a time), does that work any?

Subject: [vicsireland] Reading downloaded college books in word format


Hi all



I have just downloaded a college book in word format but to do this I had to 
install software from the website that I got the book from called "vital 
source

bookshelf".  To read this book I have to launch vital source bookshelf from 
the desktop and then the book opens up.  I can navigate through the chapters

but I can't get in to the text in them except for the learning objectives. 
If I tab around sometimes it reads a big chunk of text and I don't know what

part of the chapter it is coming from and I can't go back a few sentences or 
anything with it.  I would appreciate it if anybody can help me with this

programme or give me advice on how to navigate it.



Thanks in advance
