Re: Screen reader indications of underlined or strike-through text

This is legal document markup? Hideous stuff for anyone to read.

Could someone who is more of a Word maven write a script or macro to turn
word Underline and Strikeover into <del> and <ins>?

I ask because it's my bet that the HTML is straight from a Word document,
and if you can't make the transformation accurately repeatable, you won't
be able to use it because it will add to the process of vetting the markup.


To Lucy: standards, standards, standards. This doesn't sound like something
that should be tailored for a specific brand of screen reader. But I'd be
tempted to include a "how to" note to tell sr users how to set up their AT
instead.
