[nabs-l] Textbook Help

[Teal Bloodworth]

hi Ashley

First are you using jaws? i believe you said that but not sure. If you are 
using the latest version of jaws which is 10 then jaws is able to see PDF 
files. Just open the file in adobe probably by by a link then ALT to file 
and save as. Then tab down to save as text document.

             best wishes
            -Teal
