[blindLaw] List of Traps and Solutions

[James T. Fetter]

I would love to participate in this effort. I do not have a checklist as 
such, although I probably should. I do, however, make heavy use of Jaws 
sound schemes and increasingly now of various features in NVDA, in light 
of the persistent stability issues with Jaws. I would love to see this 
culminate in a presentation at the NABL annual meeting and ideally in a 
document posted somewhere on the web, so that anyone could find it 
without looking through list archives. I think it makes sense to do what 
we did with the track changes issue (i.e. gather a list of people 
interested in participating and start working collaboratively on this 
off this list). Otherwise, this list will get a ton of traffic.

If you would like to be part of this effort, please email me off list at 
jtfetter at yahoo.com. This shouldn't all be on Laura, and I'm happy to do 
my part.

I have a checklist of things that I do before I submit any document that I am happy to share. I'm also happy to share how I've customized word. That being said, I'm also A Braille reader and user and find Braille absolutely indispensable in this regard, so I don't think my list would be a one stop shop for everyone. And of course, I'm sure there are things I'm missing too.
