Interesting Question: I always thought that underlined text would be read as
a link but now that I have seen how links are actually labeled and that they
are a specific type of control I am not sure how an underlined text would be
read. Perhaps there is some setting you can tweak but allot of that depends
on how the underline gets there I think. For example, if it uses css or
JavaScript to do the underlining then I am not sure about the timing of
when WE would try and read the text since it uses the DOM I think. Anyway,
it is an interesting question and this type of problem is becoming more and
more prevalent due to the newer HTML, CSS and other internet accessibility
standards. So, this is indeed an interesting question if I get it right - no
guerentee of that though. I am just an old fat blind guy trying to keep up.

Hi, List,
I didn't receive an answer to my post, so I'm forwarding it to the list.
I've tried everything I can think of, but I can't get WE to distinguish
between regular text and underlined text on a practice test question from
a web site. I'm sure it must be my fault--I'm not the most expert WE user,
(grin).

I'm using WE 6.1. I went to a web page which has practice test questions
on it. Some of the words were supposed to be underlined, but I couldn't
detect which ones. How can I get WE to read the underlined text?
