Jamie, Yes i would have thought using the caps lock would reduce keystroke command clashes Any idea why sometimes Jaws simply refuses to read text or names of folders. It is saying "no font" when intterogating with insert+F: this is an intermittent event so very hard to identify what I'm doing to trigger off the occurrence. Mike >>> jamie.cuthbertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx 03/22/06 7:42 pm >>> Mike, It is possible to use the laptop with either configuration set in Jaws but the main difference is that "Laptop" uses the Caps Lock key as the equivalent of the Jaws key whereas the "Classic Laptop" option uses the Left Alt key. I prefer the "Laptop" setting as there are fewer keystroke clashes with application keystrokes. It does, however, mean that you have to double tap the Caps Lock key to get the caps lock feature activated. It's pretty much a case of personal preference.
