         Hello,
The other day I was messing around with a document I was working on in 
word.  I found if you press JAWS key plus f1, it will bring up a whole 
bunch of information.  This information will give you things like if 
there is any pictures.  One thing I found in here was what the margins 
are set at.  If you dont want to go into the menus to find the margins, 
try using JAWS key plus F1 and arrow thru there.
Hope this helps,
Greg Wocher

Yesterday is forever gone, tomorrow may never come, today is the day of all days.
