Hi Ray. My name is Robert Smith. We have a mutual friend, Bill Reif,
who suggested I get in touch with you about scripting matters. First of
all, do you know of any good JAWS scripting courses with good
explanations I could take on my own either from tape, CD, or some kind
of downloadable file(s)? I tried to go through a 13-lesson series
taught by someone named Jim Snowbarger and while I learned some
interesting general things, it had several problems. First of all, the
course was for JAWS several versions back from what I was running at the
time. Second, When I tried to email Mr. Snowbarger with some questions
using the email address given by him in the lessons, it was not active.
Third, sometimes he would explain things while pushing keys and
Eloquence would drown his voice out so that I wasn't able to get the
complete explanations. Fourth, he would occasionally go too quickly and
press keys which would interrupt JAWS so I couldn't tell where he had
gone after doing something.
Also, have you ever heard of something called the "layout editor"? It
is inside of an Oracle development package called Oracle Reports Builder
and Oracle Forms Builder. It appears to be totally inaccessible with
JAWS. You can make field labels with it in Forms Builder and you can
move things around in Reports builder with it. I know how to program
around it in Forms Builder, but I can't program around it in Reports
Builder. JAWS seems to stay in one place after I go into it. Sorry
about the deluge, but you can answer at your leisure.
Thanks in advance.
