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.
