I am in the same situation.

Me: Sure thing. Contact me off list if you want, or we can share notes here
if it's allowable by the list. I'm using a Toshiba laptop, Vista Home Pro,
Jaws 10, the rapidly expiring trial of the latest DW. Thanks for the tip on
the arrowing to bring text back.

You: It would be very convenient, when reading over your text in the
designer window to know what is a link and what isn´t.

Me: I thought I saw something in a help file chapter about that. I generally
do a quick save, then open the saved html file in a regular browser.

You: I can start taking notes and we can may be get some preliminary things
together, there are also some notes on Adobe's accessibility web site

Me: Great, I think I have a few paragraphs of notes, but I'm sure I'll have
more soon.

You: I have heard that DW's "clean Word thml" works very well, though I
have yet to test it. I know Word HTML output is notoriously bad.
If that is a way to go, perhaps I could use Word to create my
documents and then clean them up and manually add necessary tags in
DW.


Me: I've had the same idea. I started to play with it the other day, but my
multitasking led to overload and I had to reboot my brain.
