The latest version of Adobe InDesign lets you link content because it lets
you create tagged PDF right from InDesign so this might help in exporting
and creating Braille documents? Not sure it would help with images, but it
should keep the logical document structure/reading order fairly decent?

Hi Ketan,
You can download a free tryout version of PageMaker or InDesign from Adobe and use it for 30 days with no restriction.
Please, be careful when you export text from PageMaker, Quark or Indesign, because designers frequently cut and paste little portions of text in a variety of frames that often are not linked. It causes you export just one or two parts of the text, not the whole content.
There are great DTP apps that work with structured documents, like Adobe FrameMaker or Corel Ventura. You can simply write a script to convert Ventura Tags into Duxbury codes or export text as RTF/Word and you can be absolutely sure that all your text was exported. Unfortunatelly, just a few designers and typesetters around the world knows the power of these softwares.

Hi Ketan,
You will need Adobe PageMaker Version 7.0, which has the ability to export to Word. See the last paragraph of the following extract from Adobe's web page at http://www.adobe.com/products/pagemaker/newfeatures.html
