Hi, Dan.
I used WP briefly while tutoring a friend who had it installed on her PC.
I believe this was WP 10 with JAWS 5.0. There is a learning curve, but it's
not as steep as you might think.
While in Word Perfect, Hold down the Insert Key and press F1 twice quickly.
This should bring up the Application Help file specific to JAWS and Word
perfect. Here you'll find the various shortcut keys used in JAWS in WP.
You can also bring up this file by going to the JAWS Help system, choosing
JAWS Help Topics, and bringing up the Popular Applications Book.
Off the top of my head, I believe Alt+page up and Page Down will move you
backward and forward in a document page by page. That's the only WP
specific keyboard command I can remember. Other commands used in MS word
like Insert F, work the same as they do in Word.
The menu structure seems to be more intuitive as well. Most of the
formatting choices are listed as separate menu items rather than being
accessed via a multi page dialog as they are in MS Word. You access the
menus and submenus just as you would in MS Word.
Hope this helps some.
Lisa

Hi all,
I have a chance to obtain a new copy of WordPerfect. However, I have never
used it and am unfamiliar with how well it works with Jaws.
Can any of you who use it with Jaws tell me how easy it is to use? Does it
enable you to do good validating of books. Can you tell when you move from
one page to another? Is it easy to do special character changes like
section breaks to page breaks and the like? Does the spell checking work
well?
I am used to using MS Word/Office so I assume I'll have a transitioning
period to move to WordPerfect.
Any info you can give me will be very much appreciated.
Thanks.
