[NFBCS] Screen Readers Reading Fonts That Are All Uppercase

[Curtis Chong]

Nope. Moving character by character does not yield the caps indication. Note every letter  is supposed to be uppercase when that CPs Lock checkbox is checked in the font.

Hey Curtis

It does tell me each letter is cap and if it says: cap t, cap h, cap i, cap s then it will print out as THIS in all caps

Hope that helps--

Greetings:

I am navigating one letter at a time in the test document. While capitalization is indicated for the first letter of the sentence, not so for the letters which ultimately print out as capitals.

Curtis,
Insert alt s to schemes. Then hit P for proofreading attributes and font. And that all caps should read to you.
