[Blindtlk] A Formatting Question

[Mike Freeman]

Diane:

If you find out, tell me also. One of my biggest complaints with 
pixle-related editors (as opposed to 25 x 80 screens) is that one has 
little feel of formatting.

  Good Morning,

  I am currently using the jaws screen reader, (9.0) in conjunction with
  the Alva Braille Display.
  Our operating system is MS windows XP.

  My job responsibilities require me to format Settlement Agreements and 
a
  variety of other documentation to be forwarded to outside parties
  (complainants and respondent.)

  I have found that there are times when the  feedback I receive from my
  screen reader/Braille display about where things are setup or located 
on
  the screen do not coincide with how the documents appear once they are
  printed out.

  In the past, this has been a relatively minor problem, because, as 
these
  documents are subject to supervisor's approval, my supervisor  would
  simply alert me to any problems and I would go back and fix them.

  However, my supervisor has recently retired, and my previous coworker 
is
  no longer with the agency. So, I am the only one in my unit at this
  time.

  Our agency is in transition, so I'd really like to eliminate this
  problem altogether, as I don't know  who my future supervisor will be,
  and how willing he/she will be to simply advise me when there is a
  problem.

  Anyway, I'm wondering if anyone might have any tips on how the exact
  placement of information on the screen can be identified, and how to
  catch these glitches before the actual document are printed out.

  Any information would be appreciated.


  Thanks,
