Tim,
If you are displaying the list in the table format you can use the
following format.

<table summary="List of documents to download">
<caption> Downloads</caption>
<tr>
<th id="html" scope="col">HTML Format</th>
<th id="ZIP" scope="col">ZIP Format</th>
<th id="PDF" scope="col">PDF Format</th>
<th id="Word" scope="col">Word Format</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<th id="html" headers="html">Document1</th>
<th id="ZIP" headers="ZIP">Document1</th>
<th id="PDF" headers="PDF">Document1</th>
<th id="Word" headers="Word">Document1</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<th id="html" headers="html">Document2</th>
<th id="ZIP" headers="ZIP">Document2</th>
<th id="PDF" headers="PDF">Document2</th>
<th id="Word" headers="Word">Document2</th>
</tr>
</table>

I guess the Screen Reader would associate the data to its heading and
read it.

Raja
