Hi Dane,
Thanks for those suggestons I will most defiantley try those.
Firstly, would you reccomend buying Nisus Writer Express?
Seconldy, and i'm not being rude or anything here, but do we as Blind users
ned the rulers etc, and I think that most if not all of the functionality of
the rulers and pallettes is avaliable in the menus.
Thanks again James

Subject: Re: Accessible Word Processors that auto-index
Ah thank you for xplaining that table of contents issue and I take your
point, perhaps that will come in a later version and of course Nisus
welcome suggestions.
No, I've had no issues whatever when reading Microsoft Word documents
though I have had issues with the various views so you can try altering
those, say go from Page View (which is Nisus Writers default) to draft
view, I found things easier to read in Draft View, you could also try
changing the toolbars that is hiding them, hiding the Tool drawer etc.
Now I have a question for anyone who is using Nisus, I want to set Nisus
to indent on the first line of every paragraph, does anyone know how you
do this? It seems also that the pallet area isn't easily accessible or
the rulers, am I missing something?

Hi Dane,
What I mean by auto indexing is that when I am creating a table of
contents for example, the file will be kept up-to-date if I ad or remove
a page or a heading or something like that. I know that Nisus has similar
functionality with footnotes and endnotes but I don't use these methods
of referencing anyway.
Also, have you had any issues reading MS Word documents? Occaisionally,
I've had to interact with th edit area in order to read th contents of
the area. What I mean is VO will start to read but it may lose focus
after a while.
Best Wishes
James

Ok, well perhaps its just me but what do you mean by the term ""auto-
index"? Now I'm no expert when it comes to Nisus as I've only recently
purchased the software and I'm still learning about Nisus writer Express
and its many functions but I can tell you that you can create and
navigate between user-defined sections of a document.

Hi folks,
I'm currently using a demo of Nisus as it is the only accessible word
processor I have found that works with VO. The only problem is, that it
does not have the functionality to auto-index. I am a blind university
student here in the UK, and when i write certain assignments, I need the
word processor to be able to auto index. Could anyone please give
suggestions on word processors that are accessible but which can auto
index?
Thanks
James
