email newsletter for blind

Is there a way to take a publisher document and email it so that all text is
readable by a software reader? When I send my newsletter, it becomes a jpeg
and a JAWS reader cannot see the newsletter for those whom are blind that are
to receive it. Is there any way I can send this document so that all text
stays text?

Thanks,

Not without almost crippling your layout.

Your best bet is to create a PDF file and email that.

Send your document as a pdf file and Acrobat Reader can read it to in either
male or female voice.

Since graphics are not necessary in a
publication for the blind...why not create
a text only version? Then you could paste
it in an e-mail message as simple text.

Or....possibly you could e-mail a .pdf file...

Try this...

Download and install the following free PDF Creator.

PrimoPDF
http://www.primopdf.com/

With your new program installed...open your project
in Publisher and go to...File / Print.

On your Print screen...open the drop window and
select PrimoPDF as your printer.

Click...OK...now you will see the PrimoPDF screen
and you can browse to a save folder.

When you click...OK..your .pdf file will be created
in your save folder.

The resulting .pdf file can be viewed on any computer
that has the free Adobe Reader installed.

I think you only get the choice of voice with Macs.

JoAnn,

Acrobat Reader ver 7.08 for Windows XP has three voices; Microsoft Mike,
Microsoft Sam and Microsoft Mary. Hmmm... do you suppose.... nah...

It has been a bit since I checked but I thought there was only one male
voice. I'll have to check.

Nope - I don't even get a choice and yes, I have Reader 7.0.8. The Help
file says it uses the available voices installed on your system. Maybe it's
because I have the Speech aspect of Office turned off?

I just checked and nothing I do will allow me to change the voice. Where are
you getting MS Mary? Even Windows doesn't offer me her. I can use LH
Michael, LH Michelle, Microsoft Anna, or Microsoft Sam.

Maybe it requires the Acrobat Plug-Ins?

No clue. My voice doesn't read fast enough for me any way. It's as if my
voice has taken sleeping pills and is just about to drop off. :-)
