Re: Screen reader reading words as run-on

This problem has been around for years! And the cause isn't clear. Visually, everything seems ok. If you review the screen with the screen reader on, the words seem run together. Often if you change the reading order, this clears it up! Usually the default order is top to bottom, left to right, and you can generally change it to infer reading order from document, with no ill effect.
