There are several little things you'll appreciate using 8 in a work environment. As I told this list, JFW crashes while using Web-based applications drove me up a wall; now they're gone. Table reading in Word with the new voices shows marked improvement. The extra voices can even come in handy for Acrobat Reader, although you'll probably want to switch back and forth between "Read Out Loud" and regular JFW, depending upon the circumstances. To those who have discussed AR 8, after two days I've really gotten to like it, and will probably remove 7 within the next few days. Working with that long manual allowed me to really road test its ergonomics, especially its page handling capability, and it's a keeper.

Hi there, I also installed both and I use it a lot these days. If you are going to use Windows Vista, you'll need JAWS 8.0 since 8.0 has updated code that supports AERO interface in Vista (need confirmation, of course). > ----- Original Message ----- >From: "Lois Goodine" <al415@xxxxxxxxxxx >To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx >Date sent: Thu, 25 Jan 2007 20:47:55 -0800 >Subject: Re: Did I do the right thing? >I installed Jaws 8 with no trouble.
