All:
Perhaps this is fixed in 7.2, but this has been a persistent drawback of
Window-Eyes for at least a couple of versions.
If one uses styles, as do most law firms, the section or paragraph
number will not be read by Window-Eyes when up and down arrow is used or
when "read line at cursor" is used, and a style or paragraph separator
is employed .
This, however, only happens when, for example, one uses automatic
numbering as a part of a style and one inserts the paragraph or style
separate in a line.
Let's say the style automatically uses Arabic numbers. sets the
character attributes to bold, and displays the text in solid capital
letters.
Now let's say the heading is only a short phrase,like "REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES," and one wants the text of the section to start reading
as follows:
6.5 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. The Licensee and Licensor
represent to each other as follows:
If one uses a style separator at the period in the above line so that
the text after the period is in a different case and font, Window-Eyes
won't read the 6.5. I can duplicate this behavior 100% of the time.
To hear the number, one must synchronize the mouse and the pointer
(cursor) and then employ the "mouse read line" command.
This is not life threatening, but it is annoying.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
