Hi Ann
Does this happen in print files, braille files, or both? Does it
happen with all versions of Duxbury. I'll try and reproduce the
problem on my system, but it would be good if you can give me some
details about which version of Windows you are using and what video
card/resolution you have.
By the way, I'm a braille producer in Australia, and I'm also on the
Jaws beta testing list so I should be able to at least raise the
issues. I haven't had much free time during the past year as I was
finishing a university course, but now that that's (hopefully) over, I
should be able to participate more actively in some of these
discussions.
Cheers
Bruce
