Chris,

Thanks for your comments. I reckon Jaws works better on this DELL than any other laptop I've seen, but it's not perfect. <Smile>

Just want to comment on using JAWS with laptops.
I'm running JAWS 8.0.423 demo here on a Toshiba laptop running XP Home
SP2 and JAWS works flawlessly. I also know that JAWS works flawlessly on
a friend's HP laptop, HP Presario to be precise, also running the same
demo version of JAWS and the same operating system.
Hope this helps.

Sorry, Richard,

I don't have Word on the DELL laptop but do notice from time to time that
a selection isn't announced.  I just go ahead anyway . . ..  I have never
found laptops quite as good with JAWS to be honest.

Have you tried other versions of JAWS by the way?  Be sure the window is
maximised.  You can quite easily run into a situation, without realising
it, and the window isn't maximised.  I find reading can get problematic
when you have a number of programmes opened.

Hope this helps a little.
