Re: Orca acrobat

[Joanmarie Diggs <j-diggs comcast net>]

To follow up on my previous message, it seems like that tree table can
be a bit flakey.  In particular, periodically Orca stops reading what's
there.  That's really bad -- and something I hadn't noticed until now.
Sorry!!! I'll put that at the top of my acroread priority list.  In the
meantime, if you find that, as you are arrowing, the tree table suddenly
stops speaking, try arrowing in the opposite direction once or twice.  I
can get speech back this way.
