I'd have to go back through my invoices but I think it was somewhere
around the $70.00 US mark? I'll check. I'm sure the price has been
quoted often enough on this list.

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

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
