Thanks Inthane... Will be very happy to receive inputs from you, on this... But yesterday, when I was trying to use smart art in word and in particular draw a hierarchy diagram, I realized it was a mind map of some sort. Creation of bubbles at different levels was possible with keyboard alone and therefore completely accessible to the blind. However, when I went to read this diagram, jaws simply read it as graphic of size xyz. I wish there was a way that jaws would read these diagrams as figure 1, 2 or 3, similar to tables. And then when we go to a particular diagram, it should read it correctly as in, hierarchy diagram 1 - level 0 history , level 1 - Egypt, level 2 - dates, level 2 - events, level 2 - places, level 1 - Greece, and so on and so forth. We should also have commands to move between levels, and when at a level, read all nodes attached to it, the higher level and the lower levels. Do you think this should be possible with scripts, since during creation, all data is available...I don't understand scripts, I want to take up a tutorial and learn, in the meanwhile, I will be happy to hear from you.
