on 3/6/2009 I can not honestly say I even thought about vista and any narration ability of it to read documents. I have always traditionally used Adobe Professional or something else. This is good to know. Have made it a favorite for others to see on my site also. Thanks. With 12,619 views of this video, it's amazing to may that there are only FIFTEEN ratings.
