Good evening Gary,
Let's say 40 minutes. 20 minutes to present and 20 to take questions.
Also, if you want to send an announcemenet to the list letting people
know that I will be presenting on Drupal and asking for questions in
advance i will be better prepared to provide the information that
people are looking for.
Thanks,
Everett

Hi there,
Usually, in order to make a PDF file you would use Adobe Acrobat
Standard or
Pro. Now, there are free PDF conversion programs out there, but as
far as I
know, none of those free programs convert the structure you have in
Word
into "Tags" (that is, the accessible format structure Adobe PDFs
use). This
means, any descriptions of images are gone; columns are gone,
headers and
footers gone, tables gone, and on and on. All the user would hear
is plain
text, and if you are using columns, tables, text boxes, headers,
footers,
and so on, the order of the text will be out of order, and in some
cases
will sound like rubbish.
If there is anyone out there that knows of a program or method of
converting
a Word file into an accessible PDF (and hence, the Word's style
structure
into PDF tags), please let me know. I would be very interested in
testing
it.
Thanks! Mark
