Hi Sue. I don’t know if this helps but if you are using Kurzweil, in ine of the
menus there’s the word ‘table’ for one of the choices. If you press enter on
that, there’s an option to convert the table to text. Perhaps this would help?

Hi Mayrie,
Are you saying that if I can see all the text, the Bookshare tool will fix them
in order? I can read it with my display, so will they look okay when the book
hits the collection? The book says they are tables, and I remember Jamie said
Doug helped her with tables, so perhaps I am wrong in trying to fix them. It
doesn’t work anyway. When I type alt a and then v, I get stuck. I can’t tab
or arrow or anything. I don’t see any commas in the tables, though. I just
hope the tool doesn’t run them together.
Thanks,
Sue S.

Hi Sue,
Well, here's what I did and it seemed to work, though I didn't actually try
to change a table to text.
Place your cursor somewhere in the table, anywhere inside the table is fine.
Press alt plus a to open the tables menu.
Press the letter v to get to the "convert" sub menu.
Tabbing here will give you options, the first is "convert to table", the second
is "convert to text".
Hit enter on " convert to text."
Now you should be sitting on a radio button that says "tabs". If you down arrow
here, you'll see a radio button labeled "commas". If you tab from that button
to "ok" and hit enter, your table should be now in a text format with the
columns in the table now separated by a comma and a space.
We didn't choose "tabs" as Bookshare's conversion tools remove all tabs, and
the text would have become run together if we chose that option.
I think that's how the tables dialogue works anyway.
If that doesn't work, ask again!
Mayrie

Hi folks,
The book I am proofing has some tables, and it is almost impossible to read the
text, although the text is there. Is there a way to get rid of the table
symbols so that the text will be easily read?
I am working in MSWord 2010 with Jaws 12.
Thanks,
Sue S.
