Hi all,

I've released version 2.3.0 of the MS Word script.

Besides bug fixes, it adds an announcement of the number of text boxes, or
other shapes with embedded text, at the time a document is opened.  it also
gives you the number of frames with text.

It also adds a dialog which can be displayed with a hotkey, which shows you
a list of both shapes with embedded text (such as text boxes) and frames,
and shows you the direction of the text flow (up, down, or horizontal) as
well as the text, for each one.  the dialog has a "go to" button, which
moves you to the text of any of these items.  This can be the only way,
other than the use of the mouse pointer, a blind user can navigate to a text
box since they are not linked into the main document text.

enjoy,

Chip

Regards Steve
