Aww, let me pass on my sympathies. I had lots of JFW issues, and never looked back when using WE 5.5. You'lll love it! Anyway, in answer to your question, I haven't a clue. I don't know if you know this, but WE 5.5 relies on the document object model (DOM) in both Microsoft Word and Excel, so documents will be read out accurately 100% of the time, whereas JAWS relies on the screen, not the DOM, crap eh? No, the problem doesn't occur in virtual cursor mode as that relies on MSAA. Anyway good luck with the move, and please let us know what you think of it. Look forward to hear from you.

Hi guys.

I've had this problem for as long as I can remember. I've experienced it on no less than three machines with a half dozen different graphics cards.

JFW Version, 6.0.
XP Pro.
Everythings set to classic, colour depth is 32bit, all effects aare turned off.


My problem is that Jaws will an awful lot of the time not read an entire line of text in Notepad r Wordpad or Microsoft Word. (Any version), and also in Dreamweaver 8.

It makes editing anything laborious to the point that I can't be bothered half the time. I'm getting Window Eyes 5.5 v soon because I'm frankly fed up with JFW. But in the meantime I need this resolved.

For example.  I have in notepad my websites index.html file.

It will read, line 1 of the following only if I highlight the text and line 2 no problem.

This does not happen in virtual cursr mode such as in Outlook Express, IE etc. It also does not happen in Windows Explorer.

Line1: ///<p> Thank you very much for being important visitor number </p>///
Line 2: ///<p><!--#include virtual="/count.cgi?page=homepage&type=text&reloads=0"--> </p>///



Any ideas folks?

Thanks
