[rehab] Newsletters

[Lansaw,Jane (DARS)]

I used to do a newsletter in columns back in DOS.  I used WP 5.1.  I stayed away from columns until I was ready to print.  WP had something that let me switch to columns after editing was all done.  Then I didn't need to read it anymore.  I just printed to my heart's content and had a separate copy saved without columns for accessibility issues.  I have no idea how to do this today.  Times move too fast for me.

Hi,

We have a client whose job requires her to produce newsletters.  Is there anything out there that's accessible.  I know that Microsoft Word is accessible, but any time I read a newsletter produced in the traditional format, Jaws and Window-Eyes read across columns.  Is it just a matter of producing those newsletters differently?  I know that Publisher hasn't been accessible, unless something changed recently.  Any suggestions?  Thanks.
