[nabs-l] Reading Through a Textbook

If it is in Word, could you try a Find and Replace? Put the hyphen the Find
box and leave the Replace box blank. That will replace every - with nothing,
removing the hyphens. This is an admittedly extreme approach because it will
also eliminate times when you might want to have a hyphen, but maybe it will
work for what you need.

Subject: [nabs-l] Reading Through a Textbook

Hello All,

I recently received one of my textbooks from the disabilities office.
However, I was rather disappointed that I could not read through it rather
easily due to a lot of hyphenated words that sound funky while using a
screen reader. So I tried scanning the book on my own and got the same
results. Does anyone know of an easy way to correct all the hyphenated words
that appear in my textbook without correcting every hyphenated word
indivisually? I have a reading assignment that is due on Monday, so any
assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Elizabeth
