Kevin, I don't consider $39.95 to be an outrageous sum for the Accessible Web Publishing Wizard. Microsoft Office is a complex application and to continue to improve the features of the Wizard resources are needed to support progamming and technical support. Pricing information: http://cita.rehab.uiuc.edu/software/office/pricing.html Version 1.0 is not available anymore because of the many bugs in it. The team working on the project only has limited resources for technical support and it was determined that we could no longer support version 1.0. Jon Program Manager Accessible Web Publishing Wizard P.S. There are discounts available for multiple purchases and site licensing options available ---- Original message ---- >Date: Tue, 5 Oct 2004 13:38:23 -0500 >From: "Sesock, Kevin A" <kevin.sesock@okstate.edu> >Subject: Accessible Web Publishing Wizard for Microsoft Office (UIUC) >To: <w3c-wai-ig@w3.org> > > This may be old news to many out there, but I didn't > see it after searching the archives.
