[blindlaw] Is ExamSoft Still Incompatible with Jaws?

[Laura Wolk]

Thanks, Tai. Yes, I should have indicated that my Google search came
up short. Did you request a specific version of word? I have found
that i have the greatest success with MSWord2010, and I'm afraid of
crashes and other quirks if I'm made to use MSWord2016, but I don't
want to risk my request being held up.

Thanks for any help.

Laura
