His experience sounds like the response I got when I informed among others
my Joke Rehab counselor that I found Window-Eyes to befar more stable than
any version of the Shark I'd ever worked with in the twelve years I used the
Shark before making the switch.
Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?

Subject: Re: Functionality of the MS-Office Version of Win-Eyes
Whoever told you that was either misinformed or something.
I can assure you that the Window-Eyes for Office works with everything
Window-Eyes Retail works with.
The main difference is the support has to be paid for, and the speech synth
is either MicroSoft Platform or Espeak. I am not sure if you can use an
external synth with it as I have no serial port on this PC to try it on.
Again, though, there is no difference, as far as functionality goes.

Yesterday, at a tech-user's meeting in NH, the Win-Eyes version that is
available with MS-Office was discussed, and we were told that it does not
work
in all programs, only within the Office suite, and, for example, it does
not
work when using Notepad or Wordpad, for instance. I would really like to
know
if this is true. I am a long-time Win-Eyes user, and of course, spoke up
for my
Win-Eyes, but we are definitely in the minority up here, so I was quickly
squelched. I was told they had sat in and asked questions at the Webinar
led by
GW and had pinned them down on this point. So, GW, is this true? If I
bought a
new computer with an acceptable version of Office on it, would I discover
that I
had no speech as soon as I brought up Wordpad or Notepad, or How about in
Windows Explorer!? This surely does not fit my first impression of this
Microsoft/GW offer. It wouldn't affect me; I'll probably always pay for
my
copy, because I like Win-Eyes, and believe in supporting the company
producing
it, but I'd like to know my facts when I open my mouth and put my foot in
it!
