[stylist] MS and Windows

[Donna Hill]

Bridgit,
I use Windows 7 & Office 2010 with Jaws 12. I found out from FS support that
Jaws didn't even start supporting Office 2010 until the very end of Jaws 12.
In fact, I didn't have the most recent version, & Jaws "Check for Updates"
never found it for me. I had to get FS to do it. Things are a little better,
and I have a demo version of Jaws 14, which makes a significant difference
in Word's Styles menu, but isn't quite there yet. At least there aren't ten
things just labeled Toolbar.

Do you think normal people have the stamina to struggle through with stuff
like this like blind people do routinely?

Donna,

Word 2003 won't work as well with newer versions of Windows and even JAWS,
so if you have Windows 7 or greater, or a newer version of JAWS, Word and MS
in general will run much better with a newer version as well. I'm dealing
with the same situation as you and Jackie. It's quite the pain in the bum.

Jackie,
I'm sorry to hear that my experiences are turning you off to
self-publishing. Publishers and agents who accept poetry are few and far
between, and many poets are going the self-publishing route. The publishers
are out there though, so just keept working on it. 

Your teacher is very wise. I wish I had stuck with Word 2003, but it wasn't
working right with my new computer. I'm still not sure what the issue really
was, but I switched to 2010.
Donna
