Description ingenstans 2005-10-27 22:22:44 UTC 
Using JAWS 7.0, a popular screenreader, there is a nasty problem when reading 
menus: in all items before the first separator, the ID of the icon is read out 
beofre the menu item, like this "Graphic 764 Fax".

ES->TBE: I didn't test it with JAWS 7.0 and JAWS 6.2 doesn't show this problem
(= cannot reproduce) but MT supposes that we give the internal name of the
graphic while should give the corresponding menu entry name. Please ask MT for
details.

It looks fine in JAWS 7.0.
Please have a look.

One additional remark, please make sure, that you enable accessibility
(Tools/Options/StarOffice/Accessibility/Support assistive technology tools).
If accessibility is enabled, Jaws takes the accessibility information 
from the OOo accessibility API and doesn't read the icons.
If accessibility is disabled, Jaws takes the accessibility information
from somewhere else (Graphics card?) and reads the icon id.
