Hi Mary and all,

Looks like others have tackled the scanning part.  I think you should
turn on the accessibility features in Adoby, (sp?) if they're not on
already.  Usually, when you first download Adoby, it recognizes Jaws
and asks you if you want to use its accessibility features for Jaws
and other screen readers.  It recommends some for you and I've found
that those are fine for me, as a good Jaws user who isn't a tech guru.
