Forget Microsoft. Think "Windows Secrets", APH news letters, Perkins School for the Blind stuff, the various NFB division newsletters, mailings from Bose, Cambridge Soundworks, Auslogics, I'm sure you can think of many many more. If I had those yahoo's in my class, I'd make them put all that stuff at the end, like footnotes; that's where all that stuff should go, not smack dab in the midst of a sentence. Oh, and I'd flunk them! And yes, I've gone to some of the sources and complained bitterly, but no one listens.
Forgive my soapboxing.

You would think Microsoft could do a better job with their newsletters. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert Ringwald" <[email protected]> To: "Loy" <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, February 04, 2011 11:05 AM Subject: Re: Suggestion for WE Improvement When reading and you get to one of those links, just hit right arrow. WE will go to the next line and skip the link. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Loy" <[email protected]> To: "GW-info" <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, February 04, 2011 7:38 AM Subject: Re: Suggestion for WE Improvement yeah, Microsoft is notorious about this. I just got their accessible newsletter and it was filled with this. They should just put the description in text and then a click here for more information, rather they put those long links as you described. I think this is a problem with poor formatting the newsletter rather than a screen reader problem. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Louis Gosselin" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, February 04, 2011 10:20 AM Subject: Suggestion for WE Improvement I have just finished reading, actually I got sick of listening and quit, another of those newsletter-type things that are totally awash in links, very long links! Wouldn't it be nice to be able to exclude the reading of those links in a document while in Read-to-end? I sure wish it were possible! Then, if I were curious, I could stop and explore for a link I thought might be there, and only then click on it without all that very annoying gibberish of letters, numbers, punctuation marks, odd symbols, Great God, sometimes they're right in the middle of a sentence!
