Hello Jean and list.  Are you taking the self-paced class or the
instructor led class?  I'd like to get a reply or two from someone who
either is or has taken the instructor led class so I can compare my
options and choose the right one for me.  Thanks in advance.

Hi Leslie,
I'll add to Sandra's comments on the Carroll Center course.  Concerning 
graphics for a totally blind user.  It's handled very well.  We can't
create 
graphics, but you will learn how to place existing graphics files into
your 
document, how to position them and how to change the dot resolution as 
needed. Sighted people don't create graphics in the course either.
There is 
a separate program for that which is not Jaws accessible.

It's worth every penny in my mind.  I'm on lesson 11 now and I'm feeling

much more comfortable with DBT now.  Like Sandra, I wouldn't have picked

this stuff up just by reading the help documentation.  Hey, you'll also 
learn how to use the help files more effectively, and hey, I actually 
understand what I read in them now.  Smile.

Jean
