Thought this may be of use to some members. I've snipped the message but can
send the full one on if required.

Subject: Microsoft manuals available on the web
Date: 07 June 1997 10:38
I discovered that many of the product manuals that Microsoft has
distributed through Recording for the Blind and Dyslexic are now
also available directly from its web site. These include
documentation on the Office 97 suite, which ships with a lot of new
computers. Below is an excerpt from the web page that lists the
manuals available for download. I've left the Lynx references so
that people can retrieve a particular manual by its URL.

Linkname: Product Documentation in Accessible Format
URL: http://www.microsoft.com/enable/products/docs.htm
If you have difficulty reading or handling printed materials, the
documentation for many Microsoft products is also available in other
formats to make them more accessible. Most information on using a
product is available through the Windows Help system that is part of
the Windows and Windows NT operating systems. Some products also
include their full printed documents on the CD-ROM that comes with the
package.
For some products, documentation is available separately as ASCII text
files or on audio tape. You can download some of these titles from
this Web site, or order them by phone, fax, or mail. Instructions are
included below.
In the future, Microsoft intends to include accessible documentation
with every product, either on the product CD-ROM or for download over
the Internet. Our goal is to make the standard electronic
documentation fully accessible, so there is no need for a special
version, no delays, and no extra cost for customers with print
impairments.
