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.

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. -- Carol carol.pearson@xxxxxxxxxxxx----- Original Message ----- From: Richard Godfrey-McKayTo: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, May 28, 2007 8:07 PM Subject: [access-uk] JAWS8 NOT ANNOUNCING SELECTION IN WORD 2003 Wondered if anyone had had this prob?
