[blindlaw] West Question

[Ford, Tim (DHS-OLS)]

I do not have any Westlaw training materials.  The West training was
telephonic.  If they still do that, then I expect you will be fine after
one session of no more than an hour.  If they don't offer Westlaw JAWS
training any more, then let me know.  My office phone number is
916-440-7822.

HI Tim:

Do you happen to have any training material from West? Maybe I can get
this nailed down on my own - I assume you are talking about West's Text
only site?
And yes, I use JAWS.
I'm in the office all day today so - let me know.

Assuming you use JAWS, I highly recommend the training, although I admit

that I have not dealt with Westlaw JAWS training since Roger Junello
left a 
few years ago.  I use it all the time and it works just fine, very easy.
If 
you are having a hard time, I bet there are little tricks that will make
it 
easy.  So give the training a try, and if you still have problems, let
me 
know and we can chat over the phone.

I use the text version of WestLaw regularly and the regular Westlaw site

when necessary.  Westlaw also offers training directed at people who use

JAWS with Westlaw.  (I don't know about training other screenreaders).
