Re: "empty:" Microsoft word document...

2010-10-13 Thread heather kd5cbl
If you have kurzweil1000 on the windows side, just run it through, if 
nothing else works.  But you should be able to open the file and do a save 
as in to another format to read it!  My teacher always seem to send me word 
docs of a scanned worksheet, annoying!  So I sometimes had to run it through 
kurzweil1000.  Heather

Why not just run Abby Fine Reader on the file?  IF that fails, maybe convert it 
to a .pdf file?  From that point, if necessary, (I bet it will be necessary if 
it's a scanned image ot text) you could then run Abby Fine Reader on it.

Hi John:
Perhaps this is a far-fetched idea.  But here goes.

Could you safe the word file in a pdf format and bring it to the mac to read 
with preview?
Or, safe the word file as a text file and bring it over that way?

"empty:" Microsoft word document...

2010-10-13 Thread Jonathan Cohn
I  had a co-worker send me a Microsoft word file with documentation on
a process I am supposed to implement.   Jaws however just says "empty
page" for all four pages.  I am therefore assuming that screen image
captures were pushed into word.  I don't really wnat to ask for a
resend of the document, so using my XP system with JAWS 11, NVDA  and
MS office 2003 and my Macintosh with ABBY, iWork, WebKit and latest
version of Snow Leopard, what are the best approaches to get data back
out of the word document and into my mind?

The PC also has "printers" from MS called   "Office Document Writer"

Best regards,

Jon
