Hi Janet

Nice idea to add descriptive text, but like others have indicated, I'd
suggest merging it with the actual text as one solution.

To those who didn't know about the interactive transcript, you can
download my slides for the notes of how to do this:

To read the notes that contain the complete how-to, you must have
JavaScript turned off if reading online - or simply download the file.
I have not gotten the notes to work online, which is disappointing.

regards, Karen Mardahl
