[stylist] Toot Toot- CLEAR DIRECTIONS for YOU

[Mary-Jo Lord]

Hi Linda,

I was unable to find this information with Jaws either, but my sighted son
was. Then just to see what happens, I used the Mac, and was able to follow
your directions and find the information. I guess I'll be doing my book
browsing with Amazon on my Mac.

ahhhhh, so that is the problem. How in the world have you ordered books
without being able to explore what is inside them? I hope JAWS is accessable
on amazon, and that someone on the list can help you with it. My directions
will work for anyone using Zoom Text - sorry I cannot help with JAWS since I
only use it for reading and writing word documents and for reading emails.
