Re: JAWS and Properties screens

Another thing you could try which works very well is to press:
INSERT control w
This will virtualize the window and you can then navigate the screen with the 
normal JAWS reading keys.  To exit this window just press the escape key.

  Hello Everyone!

   

  I am new to this list and hope this isn't a stupid question.  I can't get 
JAWS to read a Properties screen for me!  If I browse to a file by double 
clicking the My Computer icon, then right-click on the file, then click on 
"Properties", JAWS will not read the entire screen for me.  I have tried TAB 
(which just goes over the checkable options like 'hidden'), CTR+TAB (with no 
effect), and even tried the JAWS cursor by pressing the "-" sign on the num 
pad.  The JAWS cursor will read the name of the file, but if I move down to try 
the rest of the screen it gets stuck on the task bar.  All I can do at this 
point is press the "+" on the num pad to go back to regular JAWS.  I have JAWS 
v9 and Windows XP.  What am I doing wrong?

   

  Thanks so much for your help!
