There are no graphics. It is just a straight letter but, when I try to convert it with Adobe it says, "Alert, Empty document". Is there something that I can do so Jaws will read this letter? I also tried to copy it but, when I try to select all I get this message, "This is a secure document. Selection is not allowed." I had my better half look at the attachment and that is how I know that the letter contains only text. I am running XP/SP3 Home, Office Home 2002, Adobe 9.1, & Jaws 10 latest. All help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks much, take care.
