[blindlaw] Is ExamSoft Still Incompatible with Jaws?

[Jim McCarthy]

Laura,
You are hoping for the July sitting? Request the version you want, though I am not sure you need to do that. It is certainly always best to be as specific as you are able though and if you are pretty close to having your request completed, you should be fine for getting a response in the time you need.

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
