[stylist] Software

[Homme, James]

Hi,
Before you decide that you want to use Publisher, why not enquire, assuming you want to use a publisher, what format they want the manuscript in?

Thanks.

Jim

Brad,
I wanted to use Microsoft Publisher which is on my Office software, but it
is not read by JAWS. I called Freedom Scientific to see why they had not
facilitated this. The answer was "not enough demand." I had a teacher of the
blind for a short time, and she could not find any other publishing software
for the blind for me. This has been over a year ago and I have not yet
installed JAWS 12 because my operating system is also older.
If you find anything, I am also looking, strictly to do a book, however.
Good luck in your search.
Jacqueline Williams

With the crosshairs converging on free lance writer, leaning heavier
on business writing, I am looking for any way to potentially make
layout of such things as newsletters and etc. more efficient. Are
there any  additional software offerings out there that are
accessible? Is MS Publisher accessible? What about MS Power Point?
I've had little experience/luck with the latter and none with the
former. I'd like to simplify layout and import of graphics if/when
needed and keep focus on the real job of writing.

Thanks for any help.

Brad
