Derar friends from MacVisionaries,
I use an Spanish voice called iVox with Voice Over, it works
perfectly.
But if I navigate on a Spanish Web site (in Spanish) with only some
words in English, I am interesting in hear the english words with a
English voice, not English words with my Spanish voice
Esther,
I concur with your comments. I have used Activity MOnitor on a number of
occasions to track down processes and just to see what's going on. When someone
says there is no way to do something my first response is show me why not. Then
we go from there. :)

Correct, it is up to Microsoft. This is a difference between WIndows Screen

That is because there is no built in screen reader for Windows, all the screen
readers rely on scripts to work. scripting to get programs to work on OS X is
not an option available to us, so therefore we have to apply pressure on
Microsoft to become more compliant with Apple's standards. Adobe

How did you rearrange the columns in the first place? If you can reverse that
