I showed a friend how to use the thesaurus on her machine. She uses windows XP/SP-2 just as I do. She uses jaws 4.51 and I use jaws 5.10. I type in a word such as "talk" then make sure my cursor is on a letter in the word and press shift F-7. When I do this all that happens is that jaws will repeat the word on which my cursor is positioned while my friend's speech goes into the thesaurus directly. I am able to use the thesaurus by rooting the jaws cursor to the PC cursor then arrowing down and the choices will be read to me but my friend is put directly in the thesaurus, and can simply arrow through the choices with her PC cursor and select one if she wishes. Question? Does anyone know what might be wrong with my settings that the thesaurus is not displayed as in my friend's case. Much appreciated for any suggestions that might help me here--this must be something quite simple but I have not stumbled on the solution yet. -- To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
