Hi all- I haven't tried this yet, since I don't have admin rights here on my network, but I thought I would pass along the info:

GW Micro and Microsoft announced yesterday a partnership where people can get a fully functional license for the Window-Eyes screen reader for free if they have a registered version of Microsoft Office 2010 (or higher.)  While this is obviously a huge benefit for people with low or no vision, or who use screen readers to help with cognitive issues such as dyslexia, this is also a boon for people who need to test the accessibility of documents and websites.  For more information, see their press release http://www.gwmicro.com/News_&_Events/Latest_News/?newsNo=299
and follow the link to the download site.
