RE: Lotus Notes and Accessibility

Lotus Notes and AccessibilityI gather that Lotus Notes uses a non-windows
standard cursor which "behaves" differently to the Windows cursor and some
screen readers (like Jaws?) can't see it very well, which makes Lotus Notus
difficult to use.

  Hello to all.
  Does anyone know about the accessibility of Lotus Notes? I have found some
information on the IBM website, but that is about all. Has anyone got any
first-hand information on what it is like to use Lotus Notes with a screen
reader (as an email programme and as a database)?

  Thanks, I would really appreciate some help on this one. To provide some
background, the Lotus Notes database will be used to hold information that
can then be delivered to a Web page, almost like a content management
system. However, if it is not accessible, then what are the alternatives.

  Cheers one and all
  Sime
