I have just received the following. This is strictly for
information only and specifically to address current
concerns about Internet Explorer 7.
 

Please DO NOT waste anyone's time calling your dealer until
you are certain that the release is available.  You will
simply be asked to wait until the update is actually
available from the Freedom Scientific web site.

JAWS 7.10 Automatic Update will be available later this week


The second automatic update for JAWS 7.10, released on
November 8, 2006, contains fixes for issues we addressed for
our 7.10 customers. It also includes minor modifications for
Microsoft Internet Explorer 7. While the previous JAWS 7.10
update works well with Internet Explorer 7, it is
recommended that anyone installing Internet Explorer 7 also
update to the latest JAWS 7.10 update.

To install this update on a computer with JAWS 7.10 and
Windows XP, open the JAWS Help menu and choose Check for
Updates. If you do not have Windows XP, you can download the
full version of JAWS 7.10.xxx
<http://hj5/websites/NewFreedom/fs_downloads/jaws.asp>  and
install it to update your software.

The following is a list of items that were fixed in this
update:

*       Resolved a longstanding issue related to certain
video cards, where text that had scrolled by the mouse
pointer may no longer be read by JAWS. 
*       Fixed an Internet Explorer 7 issue where navigating
the drop-down list of certain combo boxes in a Web page
using the UP ARROW or DOWN ARROW keys, JAWS would not always
read the selected item. 
*       Fixed the Typing Echo function, which would not work
in an Adobe Reader form opened using Internet Explorer 7. 
*       JAWS now supports multiple user desktops, which
solves an issue for the Cisco Secure Desktop application. 
*       Fixed the issue where switching between Eloquence
and SAPI 4 synthesizers resulted in a crash. 
*       Fixed an issue where using the TAB key to move about
a Web page, and downloading files from a Web page would
cause Internet Explorer to crash. 
*       In Microsoft Excel, if the text in a worksheet cell
wraps to form multiple lines, you can now use the Excel F2
function key and the UP ARROW and DOWN ARROW keys to hear
JAWS speak individual lines. In previous releases, JAWS
would read the entire cell contents. 
*       Fixed a problem where buttons on Access forms are
now spoken correctly. 
*       Fixed a problem when selecting text form right to
left in NotePad failed if enhanced edit was turned on in
this application. 
*       When localizing screen sensitive help messages into
French, the following characters are no longer reversed: a
and q; w and z. 
*       Resolved issues regarding the Japanese keyboard
layout and the CAPS LOCK key.
