Hi Patrick.  Dunno about Jaws, but Window-Eyes reads these symbols just
fine.

Hi all,

Does anyone out there know how/if you can get Jaws (11/12) to read 
logic symbols in MS Word (2003)? (Triangular therefore signs, if p 
then q notation etc.)

We have a file where the symbols will read a numeric value (not the 
symbol name) with Jaws moving line-by-line, but I can't interrogate 
them in char-by-char mode. (Braille doesn't show anything for most of them.)

One possible cause appears to be the difference between the old old 
Windows Character Map (= standard Unicode = good) & the Word Insert 
tool (= bad).:

Any experience with these symbols that you can share would be very welcome.

Thanks much,

Patrick
