Hi Stacey,
1. Highlight your Jaws 10 Icon on your desktop.
2. Press alt + enter for properties.
3. Tab to the shortcut/hotkey dialogue box and backspace anything that is
in there out of there.
4. Press the letter " J ".
5. Tab to apply and press your space bar or press enter.
6. Now, tab to okay and press your space bar or enter.
It is important that when you are tabbing that you don't shift tab/ move
backwards during the the tabbing to apply or okay process. I don't know why
this is, but shift tabbing during this process seems to screw things up.
Hope this helps. Take care.
Mike

Subject: Creating a hotkey for jaws
Hello,
Just joined this list yesterday. I'm running jaws 10, the latest version.
I've tried creating a hot key for jaws with control alt j.
This hotkey won't stick. Can someone give me step by step instructions for
creating a hotkey?
Thanks,
Have a blessed day,
Stacey Robinson and GEB dog Chesley
Eagleville, Tennessee.
