Hi,
Thanksto Chris, Christopher, Ed and Bill and others, I would add that the
read numbers with delimeters with 1 keystroke in Word which was to be fixed
in 2004 is not fixed 2 versions late
and thanks for asking about the Access 32 issues which some have.
When there were public betas, I went into every application I could
possibly think of to try things out and spent hours doing bug reports
*before* I wrote the list.
To say that no one bothered to help F S and that folks only wrote the list
may be true of some, but some of us spent lots of time trying out JAWS
betas and 3 separate times I voluntarially tested and reported on
some 40 or more web sites to help F S "improve" the "s" (find same
element" keystroke and testedJAWS and MAGIC used simultaneously for hours
on end.
We needthe public betas back-- has been expressed to F S as of last
Friday.
