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

hi,
i don't think this way will maximize if you enter a .txt file to open with 
notepad. let say you have a file call 123.txt saved under 
my documents, when you enter on that file name, by default notepad will open 
that 123.txt file, but it is not maximize.

Warmest Regards,
Allan Wong

        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
