I've never tried it from a web page. I'll try and get back to you in the next couple of days. -----Original Message----- From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Debby Franson Sent: Monday, July 26, 2010 12:12 AM To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Missing text Hi John! Just in case I'd need to know how to do it in the future, how would I download an image of a page from any site such as books.google.com or Amazon? I am not able to see the image on the web site and Window-Eyes doesn't seem to indicate them when I know they are there.
