Hi Terry and everybody else who replied.  The pasting stuff into Word idea 
seems like a good one.  I'd be grateful to know how to install the proofing 
tools and dictionaries you refer to.  Please email me off list and I'll email 
you back.

Thanks again,

Maggie

  Hello there,

  If the HTML on the web page is not properly tagged for languages, JAWS will 
not respond.

  One way round the problem might be to:

  1 install prooffing tools and appropriate dictionaries to Word.

  2 Set word to detect languages automatically.

  3. copy and paste contents of web page into word document.

  Better still:

  write to site owner asking them to re-tab the pages with span language tags 
where appropriate.

  Hope this helps.

  come back to me off list for detailed instructions.

    Hi all,
     
    I am trying to learn Spanish from a website called studyspanish.com.  I 
have my JAWS verbosity settings set to "language detection, on", but JAWS is 
not picking up when the text changes from one language to he other.  I vaguely 
remember that there is a way of switching between languages on the fly, without 
having to go back into the JAWS options menu every time, but can't for the life 
of me think where to find it.  Can anyone help?
     
    Muchas gracias,
    Maggie
