Hi Adam, thank you thank you! you understood what I was asking for. You were
also right. When I did the search using the windows search it didn't show
the whole file path. The reason I thought it had was because when I used the
jaws cursor, and used the insert plus numpad four, and it said the same
thing, but when I read your post I went back and used the jawas cursor, but
this time I just used the numpad four to read letter by letter, and sure
enough after the dan it read the number two and part of the folder of my.
Thanks for making me aware of the search results not show the whole name,
and telling me what jaws should be saying. Is ther a way to get the search
to show th whole path name. So for example my file was in the documents and
settings\dan2\my recent documents. How do I get the search results to show
that whole file path? thanks again.
