[gui-talk] print VS. single page in N.Y. Times?

[Joel Deutsch]

Hi Albert,

I'm not sure what you mean by formatting, here. it's just that the basic 
page of a Times article is only the first page of what usual, except in the 
case of editorials and Op Ed pieces, a multiple-page story. So the single 
page view gives you a consolidated article that doesn't require encountering 
"next" at the bottom of the page and having to click on it, and that sort of 
thing. It just consolidates the article into a single page. Hope that's 
cellar.

In the single page view, the article page still has all the global 
navigation links and, if there are photographs or graphics, those would 
still be visible to a sighted reader, too, as would be advertising bits or 
lists of related links to blog and so forth that interrupt the text.

If instead of Single Page View, you click on Print, you get a single page 
version of the article plus nearly all the links are gone and don't have to 
be skipped through,, so if a person runs it through their printer, it 
doesn't look like a crazy attempt to print a Web page in all its detail if 
that wasn't your actual desire.

For a screen reader user, it's the cleanest version to read online. I click 
on the Print version of every article I read. Just lately, this associated 
with financial pressures, no doubt, the Times has stuck in some yadda yadda 
on the Print version that's supposed to shame you if your intention was to 
print out a bunch of copies and pass them around the office or at a meeting 
or something. They try to interest you in paying to get their official 
version for doing that. But you can just skip over these stern-sounding 
lines once you learn where they are. No big problem. And if you copy the 
page with Control A, paste it to your Clipboard and paste it into an email 
for someone, you can delete those lines before you send. or if you copy more 
selectively than by using Control. a, you can also dispense with them. For 
instance, you can select from top down to where those lines start, so you 
have the proper New York Times lines, article title, dateline and writer's 
byline. Then copy to clipboard.

Then arrow down past that notice to the actual start of the text, select to 
bottom, do a Jaws Assign (windows C).

Now when you Insert V paste into that email, it'll probably come out looking 
just as it did before they stuck in all those lines with that notice.

But you get the idea.

I can't determine a difference in the formatting of pages with these two
choices and I thought someone else might know.
