[stylist] word to txt?

[Steve Jacobson]

Don't overlook the fact that tables can be your friend.  Make sure you know the table navigation keys of your screen reader.  

You can save a document as text using a "TXT" extension as noted below.  To do that, use the "Save as" option, and tabbing to the next control after the file 
name which will get you into a list of possible file types.  There are a couple of text options there as well.

Yet another approach that can work if you are reading someone else's document and do not plan to be passing it on to anyone is to convert the tables to something 
else.  If you get your cursor within the table, you can then go to the Table menu and look for the Convert option and pick the Table to Text option.  There will be a 
few options.  That will let you look at the word document itself but without the table.  

I hope something here helps.
