>> Hi all,
>> OABS is happy to announce our second podcast.
>> OABS Podcast ? Episode 2
>> Formatting Word Documents using NVDA
>> By William Yznaga
>> ? ? ? Welcome to the second episode of the monthly podcast produced
>> by the Ohio Association of Blind Students, where you can learn what we
>> can share about surviving and even thriving as a blind student. In
>> this podcast, we hear from the treasurer of OABS, William Yznaga.
>> William is a freshman at Cleveland State University, dual majoring in
>> both computer science and French language. Your ideas and words are
>> important; however, in many cases you have to format them accordingly
>> for your job or assignments. At this point, William helps us to learn
>> details. He demonstrates how to configure NVDA to read formatting
>> information on MS Word documents, and how to format your work for an
>> enhanced visual appealing.
>> So please, take a moment to enjoy hearing from William about how to
>> make your work more professional by using a free screen reader NVDA.

> We have had action on the national legislative front. Here is a leter that I am sending to the staff members my group saw in Washington. I think you could adapt it to go to your people. I will not do the senators because I was not the lead on those meetings. The Senate information should be lifted for those aides. You would have to change the names of the aides and the members to fit your offices. I hope that this is helpful. It is important for us to get word to our Ohio members quickly. Be sure to send any answers to Parnell

Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams.

I have tried several methods for booking tickets, including using safari on my phone and Internet Explorer and Firefox with Jaws and NVDA on my laptop. Firefox with NVDA worked for me about six months ago, but it isn't now. I would rather avoid ordering by phone charge extra for that, even when they are not accessible online to us. I know that there have been some ways of getting around using Greyhound's site shared here before, but if anyone wouldn't mind reposting or emailing me with them directly, I would appreciate it.

> End of Ohio-Talk Digest, Vol 109, Issue 29
> ******************************************Hello everyone,
I have some really good news to share with my federation family. As of 1 pm esteem standard time on march,30/2017. I passed my grammar certification of my tefl online.com certification course. I am now a certified teacher of english as a forign language. In fact, i have to say that this section of the course was the most challenging to pass. Only, because, the website was not fully accessable yet the support team and the admissions office were very helpful to me in regards to my being able to have some work around a with the i accessable website. However, i will be writing a small report to them to say that they will have to make this website fully accessable with all screen readers. Because the audio files were not working when i had clicked onto them etc. i have to say that it took me a total of five times in order to pas the test but i did it. I had to have some sighted assistance with taking it on a computer that did not have any accessable technology on it. Because that was the only way that it would work correctly. I was greatful to the international admissions director for allowing me to recreate another email address in order to retake the test an additional two times, that is how crazy this website was in regards to its level of functionality i did not have as many problems with the first half of the course and that was on a different website. However, i would trade any of the experiences that i might of had with the course as a whole. It made me a much stronger person in the end. Now it is time to find gainfully employment. See you can live the life you want if you want to. All you have to do is to place one foot in front of the other and take the first step. When you begin to take the first step in your life long journey of total independence then you will be truly free.
