Flor, thanks for the reply. Unfortunately it hasn't helped. My problem with the Help feature is that absolutely nothing happens when I enter on Help from the options. Its as if I didn't select and enter on anything. The desktop remains the only thing showing. Also, the information to operate and handle multi-select lists within an Extended List Box didn't work. I followed your directions to the letter, but the list remained closed and inaccessible. I'm getting pretty ticked off with dear old JAWS at the mo. I realise there could be a multitude of reasons why these things aren't working, at the minute I've just decided its all the fault of JAWS!

Do that, and you might then | be able to read the text pane in the JAWS help. | | Now, for the multi-select combo box issue. To make multiple selections | in a multi select combo box, get the cursor on | the combo box, then go into forms mode with the enter key and then do a | shift key with F8 to go into extended select mode. | Now as you up and down arrow, use the space bar to select or unselect an | item. When you are finished, use shift key plus F8 again to get out of | extended select mode. You can now tab to the go button or next form | field | | ----- Original Message ----- | From: "Darran Ross" <darran.ross@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> | To: "Jaws-UK" <Jaws-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> | Sent: Saturday, July 30, 2005 1:34 AM | Subject: [jaws-uk] Trouble Accessing Help in 5.1 | | | Hi List. | | I'm trying to get some help from JAWS 5.1, but each time I try, nothing | at | all happens!
