[Blindmath] Accessibility of minitab

[Steve Jacobson]

Michael,

Which version of Minitab do you have?  I have it at work and will play with it a little on Monday.  I had some success 
with it in the past and felt I had never done all I could to get window-Eyes to work better with it since I only needed it 
for a short time.  It seemed to me I was able to do quite a bit with the mouse pointer as a short run solution, but thought 
that I had gotten the arrow keys to work a little like a spreadsheet, too, but don't remember for certain.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

have any experience with this software and its accessibility? An initial look I have given it seems to suggest that while 
Window-Eyes can find text on the screen, the controls are sufficiently customised that standard navigation reveals 
little useful information and so using screen review is required. Is there any settings which might need tweaking to get 
better accessibility?

then I should use it if possible.
