Multiple column removal, alternate presentation

Multiple columns are hard for a screen reader to interpret, the text lines of all the columns being treated as one line of text, not as separate columns. This Multiple Column ReWriting JavaScript takes the separate columns of text and rewrites them as one column in a new window. In the uner left of this window there is a button for closing this new window. Below the column text is an example of what a screen reader would read.

Perennial gardens are a lasting investment in relaxation. The seasons change, the colors change but the enjoyment never goes away. The tulips planted then still bloom.
 Vegetable gardening is work which rewards well. The bounty occurring when a crop ripens necessitates sharing, preserving or massive eating of produce. Annual flowers are never ending changes of color. Instant garden, but a garden that has to be replaced each year. Mixing the annuals into the perennial garden to fill in holes and complement can make for a nice landscape.
