>Published by the Carroll Center for the Blind, 
>The fourth edition of The Windows Screen Reader 
>Primer: All the Basics and More is now out. It 
>is available to you for free in Word and ePub 
>formats. Authored by David Kingsbury, an 
>Assistive Technology Instructor at the Carroll 
>Center , the book is meant to help JAWS, NVDA, 
>and Windows Narrator users work more effectively 
>with the most important PC applications—like 
>Microsoft Offfice, email clients, and web 
>browsers. These applications include the Windows 
>operating system, the four primary Office Suite 
>applications (Word, Outlook, Excel and 
>PowerPoint), and the three most commonly used 
>web browsers (Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and 
>Mozilla Firefox). Dropbox, OneDrive, and Google 
>Drive for Desktop, the three most popular 
>cloud-based file-sharing programs, are also 
>covered. So too is Adobe Acrobat Reader for 
>accessing PDF files. A new chapter on 
>participating in, scheduling, and hosting Zoom 
>meetings is included in this second edition. So 
>too is an appendix on using academic style 
>guides for formatting Word documents. A glossary 
>with over 100 definitions of computer-related 
>terms and a set of practice exercises are also included.
>
>The book is intended for both beginners and 
>intermediate users. While all the basics are 
>covered, those already possessing a fair amount 
>of experience using screen reader programs in 
>the Windows environment will find useful tools 
>and techniques to further enhance their skills.
>
>You can download the book and make a voluntary 
>donation to the Carroll Center at:
