Hi Jim No! I know another way around it if you have either K1000 or Open Book installed on your machine. If so, you can use Eloquence from either ofthose packages, and it is perfectly legal as you have the software installedalready. I know a friend who does this, so if you are interested, let me know off list and I'll try to find out how it's done as I'm not that familiar with NVDA as yet.

Somebody else mentioned with regard to NVDA and Elequence that Elequence could be purchased by developers in blocks of 300. I don't know how much that would cost on an invidual basis but it would be interesting to know.

I do get ratty about the control and down arrow not working though as I often like to skim through paragraphs and it just doesn't work as well as it ever did. Lots of people now recommend NVDA, and think it is fast coming up on the rails of the Shark, so the sooner the better. I don't mind paying for mysoftware, it isn't that I expect freebees. But there is paying for softwareand a gravy train!

Your workaround re pressing left then right cursor to highlight text is exactly the same when checking date fields in a table.Pressing the left cursor to make sure I am at the start of the date produces silence but pressing the right cursor once takes me to the end of the date field. So its pressing left cursor once and then the right cursor once and sharkie announces the second character in the field and left cursor and the firstnumber in the date field is spoken So that's 3 keystrokes for the price ofone!My other gripe about tables is really more pathetic but I have already blowna fuse about it in other messages.And as for your comment about the brown stuff, well, you know what they say:"Where there's muck there's money" Take care.

Like itor not, you will always find anomalies with every version of JAWS, it's howthey make their money!Having said that, I have noticed small things myself in Word that tend to bea bit annoying, but which probably wouldn't happen if I updated to a later version of Office. For example, within Word, sometimes I can't jumpparagraphs using control and down arrow as JAWS won't speak them. Sometimesit doesn't always read the word to the right of the cursor when goingthrough a sentence to check something using control and right arrow. But itworks if I go left then right again. I know that sounds a bit daft, but that's how it behaves. When I copy text to the clipboard and paste it into a blank Word document, instead of the text being there, I get the width and height of something instead, something completely irrelevant to what was in the clipboard. Ithen have to re-select the text and paste it again. What's all that about?In Outlook, JAWS sometimes just shuts up and I am left with the Braille display to get me out of the shit, (pardon me). But I don't blame JAWS alone for all these little quirks, I feel it's likely that Microsoft and Freedom Scientific combined are forcing people to constantly update theirsoftware, like we are all made of money and have to go rushing out when thenew version comes out for fear the old one will be discontinued or not worked on for existing customers.But I will only update when I am ready. All my Windows updates are presentand correct, I am using Microsoft Security Essentials, and I can't do any more than keep the machine ticking over and up-to-date. Keep plodding on Jim.

And as I mentioned in Steve Bingham's message, I received my copy of JAWS from Blazie, not S&S.

If you havethe latest service packs from Windows, and Office, that might help with Jaws13.Personally, I din't really like Jaws 13 and hope that the next version is abit better.

Using JAWS 13 and Office 2003 I recently upgraded from JAWS 9 to version 13 and have encountered a few minor difficulties in the process.Without going into great detail, has anyone found difficulty in highlighting large amounts of text in Word 2003 when using JAWS 13 that were not presentwhen using an earlier version of JAWS in combination with Word 2003. I have posted more details of this highlighting problem on other lists but have had no meaningful responses.
