[Athen] JAWS and RTF

[Burke, Dan (DSS)]

Yes, sometimes and it's an issue for me not of rich text, but of Office
with JAWS 11.

Quick question folks --- 

Not withstanding an issue with the verbosity controls - is anyone
familiar with JAWS having problems pausing at then end of lines BUT
properly pausing and stoping at grammatical marks? This is in reference
to JAWS reading RTF files. 

I have a client who has a student who is claiming that the RTF files we
provided them are not working with JAWS. Specifically that JAWS is not
pausing at the end of lines but IS pausing correctly at grammatical
marks. Yet the student claims their verbosity settings are set properly.
The files were converted from hardcopy using Abbyy Fine Reader and
quality controlled using MS Word 2003 and saved to RTF. 

Any suggestions or insight would be greatly appreciated. 

Cheers --- Dann
