Hi all, I have released version 1.40 of the MS Word script.
In addition to fixing a bug, I have added the ability to read column titles in Word tables (header rows as Word calls them). I use the settings in the set file for: verbosity > browseMode > tables to control what is read and when, although right now, I only read column titles, not row titles as of yet. This is different in that all other Word verbosity options are in the Word group of settings; this will be the first one (as far as I know), outside the Word grouping. A column title can be forced to be the first row by these settings, or can be set to only read if the Word header row format property has been set. Word allows this to be set for any number of rows at the top of the table, and the script will read all of them as the column title if more than one is used, if the setting is "attribute only" in the radio button, or "header attribute override" in the associated checkbox. It normally will only read a column title when you change columns, but if the radio button is set to "column and row", it will read it each time you change cells. I also plan to recognize a system of specially named bookmarks, for identifying a table header row or column, as introduced by another reader. this "standard" was publicized enough that I occasionally see it in recommendations for how to make a Word document "accessible". enjoy, Chip
