Hi Brian, 

I’ve seen this format used often in various screenreader manuals. Personally, I 
think it works fine. It would be accessible to any adaptive technology and any 
word editor. Maybe not sighted-friendly, but very useful without clutter in my 
opinion. Just my two cents.

Now, perhaps, is an opportunity to further my own education.  I went to this 
website, and the content is fabulous, but it's also not set up for sighted 
people (nor should it be, but I'm just saying).  I downloaded several of the 
"collections of all these in a single ZIP file" and unzipped same.  What 
follows is a straight paste from the file related to the Address Bar as it 
opens in Notepad on my computer:

---------------------------

Address bar

Summary: These shortcuts are for using the Address bar.



table with 2 columns and 8 rows

To do this

Press this 



Add www. to the beginning and .com to the end of text typed in the Address bar



Ctrl+Enter 



Display a list of addresses you've typed



F4 



In the Address bar, move the cursor left to the next break in the sentence



Ctrl+Left arrow 



In the Address bar, move the cursor right to the next break in the sentence



Ctrl+Right arrow 



Move backward through the list of AutoComplete matches



Down arrow 



Move forward through the list of AutoComplete matches



Up arrow 



Select the text in the Address bar



Alt+D

table end

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Clearly this file is not really intended to be read as plain text, but has 
instructions in it noting that you have a table with two columns and eight 
rows, with the two columns having headings of, "To do this," and, "Press this."

What program is a file formatted in this manner typically displayed, or perhaps 
displayed and read, using?   I can figure it out well enough, but this Notepad 
presentation wouldn't be a user-friendly way to read through it for anyone.

Brian
