I am in Scottsdale, AZ and typed in my zip code and got the usual mobile
weather forecast I have set as my home page, minus a lot of course. For me
it would just be easier to use either my home page, or, the wunderground
page I have in my favorites. Both give more information.
I have used the dictionary function a couple of times, and The Reuters,
could care less about the sports junk, maybe it has a lot of potential in
the future but since they don?t offer a medical dictionary, and since at
work I am in Jaws 9 and will be there forever and ever, this feature is more
or less worthless to me.

Thanks very much Chris. The 4 key gymnastics actually gives me the list so
I can arrow to my choice.
For some reason, Phoenix AZ still returned no results for me but I tested
Denver CO and it worked fine. Go figure.
On another matter, in this latest version of JAWS 11, the Reply to Sender is
not working but I think this bug has been reported. Best, Mitch

Hello Dave.
You have two ways to do this if the research it option that you are wanting
to use is your default option you can press "Jaws key + control + shift +
Windows key + R? when you press this keystroke a dialog box is brought into
view where you can type your word or phrase. If on the other hand you either
cannot or do not want to bring up the input box for example the research
option that you are wanting to use is not your default are the phrase that
you are wanting to use is already in the document that you are viewing you
do the following. You read an e-mail and are curious why someone is having
trouble getting the forecast for their city and state in this case Phoenix
Arizona. Next you select Phoenix Arizona with normal selection keystrokes in
this case read word by word until you hear Phoenix and then hold the shift
key down while doing your read word by word keystroke until you have
selected Phoenix Arizona so for example do "control + shift key + right
arrow" until you have selected Phoenix Arizona. Now run the Weather
Underground research command and the forecast should be shown as shown
below.

Hello Dave.
If you want to search based on a phrase you need to highlight the phrase.
I hope this helps.

Hi All, I note that the recent patch added Weather Underground to the
available headings in Research It.
When I experimented with getting the weather for Phoenix Arizona it returned
Phoenix Illinois.
How do you get the feature to recognize more than one word in a search;
ditto for dictionary entries.
Thanks, Mitch
