George, Thanks for weighing in. I'll add the colon and draft a note to be sure that the same thing happens in the German localization. Other localizers will be more-or-less automatically notified of this change, and can add a colon to other languages. Look for the change in beta 4. - Peter -----Original Message----- From: duxhelp-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:duxhelp-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, May 27, 2004 11:33 AM To: duxhelp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [duxhelp] Re: Shortcut preferences Hi Peter, It is a generally accepted practice by screen readers to associate text adjacent to a text box as being a Label if it has a colon after it. I rather suspect that adding a colon will resolve the issue. (And knowing the implications of this in the Strings system, I shall openly state here that I refuse all responsibility for your increased blood pressure if I'm proved wrong! - Big Smile!)
