Hmm, most interesting indeed.
I have JAWS 10 but only use it for the on-line stuff as it locks up with
MicroSoft Outlook after a few emails.
I am using JAWS 9 for the local things such as Microsoft Outlook, Word and
such.
Anyway, until I read this I thought the left alt work but, by golly, now it
does not. Have to use the right alt.
This must have been caused by something Microbloat has updated recently.

Like I said, when I press left alt plus insert down arrow, I get silence.

Hi Kevin:
I'm using the latest jaws version like you, and left alt key together with
insert numpad 2 works fine on my system. To tell the truth I don't have any
ideas as to why it isn't working for you.

K,
Have you thought of adding the LeftAlt+DownArrow to your key manager list to
also have it perform the function?
Not sure because I'm not JAWS 10, I'm waiting for the next odd-numbered JAWS
revision.
Sad to say it seems to me that the most resilient JAWS versions since JAWS
3.5 seem to all have been odd-numbered, with the exception that JAWS 8 was
pretty stable, as well. Strange.

Guys,
Has anyone noticed that in JAWS 10.0.1154, when you choose an alternate
Say All, in order to use the default Say All voice and override your
alternate say all in a given case, you must press the right hand alt key
before pressing insert down arrow. That's a drag because it's much easier to
press the left alt key and then press insert down arrow in desktop layout
with the right hand. Any idea why overriding default say all has to be
invoked with the right hand alt key and not the left?
Kevin
