Oh I wasn’t clear If you look at the doc, you will see that the lines above are all bullets. The sentence to be added would go at the start of the paragraph below. So it should be in a different style Here try this layout and wording -------------- Here are a few scenarios, by no means an exhaustive list of the variations and types of disabilities and needs: - Someone who cannot hear will want see the information. - Someone who cannot see will want to hear or touch the information. - Someone who does not have the strength to move quickly or easily will want to use as little movement as possible to see or hear or feel the information. - Someone who does not read well may want to hear the information and see words highlighted as they are read. If a page is designed properly then these users could use special technologies to read the page aloud in speech or present it in braille, etc. For more in-depth scenarios, please read "How People with Disabilities Use the Web". -- ------------------------------ Gregg C Vanderheiden Ph.D. Professor - Human Factors Dept of Ind.

I wouldn't add the sentence as proposed, since it seems a whole different style. But I agree that we should be more clear about the fact that the reference describes in more detail both some example problems and some example solutions. I would edit the final sentence that is there, along the lines of "For some more complete examples of problems people can face, and how they can be solved, please read..." cheers Chaals On Sun, 12 Aug 2001, Gregg Vanderheiden wrote: [quote] User needs Here are a few scenarios, by no means an exhaustive list of the variations and types of disabilities and needs: Someone who cannot hear will want see the information.

[end of quote form WCAG 2.0] I think we should add a sentence that reads: " If a page is designed properly then uses can use special technologies to read the page aloud in speech or present it in braille,etc. " to complete the thought.
