[nabs-l] blind people in Baltimore

[Ashley Bramlett]

Hi,
That's right. This is a student's list and most students use typical 
Microsoft office products such as Word, powerpoint and excell.  So lack of 
responses just means no one knows or your message was overlooked; people get 
lots of messages a day and you may get a hundred if you're subscribed to 
multiple lists.

I'd also suggest calling the maker of the product to ask about 
accessibility; if you belong to a NFB chapter ask there too.  People can be 
real resourceful.
Someone at NFB headquarters may know; maybe Curtis Chong.
Good luck.
Ashley
