[JAWSLite] Re: JAWS saying Format Edit in text files

        Well, I did some experimenting.

I got it to work by doing the following.

1. I went thru the start menu and did a search for "all files and folders" 
using the word Notepad.

2. In the list that came up, I highlighted "notepad" and hit Alt + Enter.

This brought up a dialog box with the Notepad properties.

  3. I tabbed over to where it says "run in". I arrowed down to Maximize.

  4. I tabbed to apply and hit enter.

  5. I then tabbed to the OK button and hit enter.

  That did the trick. Now when I open Notepad, it is maximized and I don't get 
the "format edit". 

  Thanks for your help and ideas.

  I hope this helps anybody else having this problem.

  Ken.

  I take it your referring to note pad, seeing as I have the same trouble with 
it, and have been very tempted to use my html editor for making text documents 
due to this. 

  I don't know of a direct fix, but there is an add in application at: 
  www.jfwlite.com
  that is supposed to maximize all windows that you open automatically.  

  there is as well, a vague chance that one of the windows XP tweaking tools 
might give you the ability to change this behavior, but I don't know that it 
will, it is just a thought on a possibility.

    This list is fantastic. I got a question answered, not directly, but by 
reading answers to other problems.

    I figured out one problem, but now I have another related problem.

    I had a problem I couldn't figure out. JAWS kept saying "format edit" on 
every line in my text documents. When I would go down with the arrow key, or 
hit insert down arrow, it would say that on each line. Reading other posts 
about problems with "arrowing thru a macro list" I went ahead and tried 
maximizing in the text file. That did the trick! When I maximize the page, it 
stops giving me that darn "format edit" on each line. The problem now is I'm 
having to maximize every text document I open. This just started a couple of 
days ago. Is there a way to go in and set the settings so that when I open a 
text file or start a new one, it will automatically be maximized?

    Thanks,

    Ken
