Cathie Jacobse asks:
Does this apply to scanned documents as well? For example, I scan a letter
into my computer, then email it as an attachment to you. How easy is it to
be read?

The answer to your question depends on how you (or anybody) scanned the
document. Personally, I have K

Not sure, but I think acrobat is up to version 8 already, and that may be

I believe this works similarly with OpenBook. If you set up the Freedom
Printer, you can bring the inaccessible PDF image into Openbook. It has
been some time since I've done this as my current computer at work will not
allow the Freedom Printer to set up.

You might want to go into your MS-Word options and see where your back up

Yes, you can leave Jaws on while doing a defrag. It doesn't create a log
file, but you do have the option to save the results once the the defrag is
