I tried it probably a year ago. It worked very good and was accessible, at least as far as I remember. The one thing that killed it for me was the key logger protection. I couldn't find a way to turn it off and it blocked all browse mode hot keys. If this is still the case you'll obviously see

Mike, I think what you want is the next and previous control hot keys. They're under Hot keys, Browse mode. In the default layout they are F and Shift-F. They will move you to the next or previous edit box, combo-box, button, etc. Hth, Tom On 10/28/2015 6:00 PM, Mike Pietruk via Talk

Neither PDF or RTF are graphic formats. PDF files can be scanned images. But most are not. RTF (rich text format) is essentially a scaled down version of Doc or a revved up version of Txt, depending on how you want to look at it. I never use Wordpad. But I tried it here on Windows 10.
