Hi, To do what you want to do, open the keyboard manager and then load the default keyboard file by pressing control shift D. Next, find the script "select a scheme" and change the key to whatever you want as outlined in the previous message about the say font script. I hope this helps, Ryan -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Yardbird Sent: Saturday, March 31, 2007 3:14 PM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: a question about displaying font information with jaws version 8.0.423 and microsoft word 2003 Dear Evangeline, I'm sorry, but it seems I may not have expressed myself clearly enough. I do not wish for another way to invoke the Say Font command. Insert F is perfectly convenient and I use it frequently. The keystroke I wished to change is the one that invokes the sounds and schemes dialogue from which you can choose one of many ways to make Jaws automatically speak font changes as it reads, or speak the text in different voices for different character formatting, such as bold or italic. That keystroke is Insert alt S, and without instruction from a Yoga master, I can't see how I can learn to stretch my right hand that far without using my other hand to place my little finger on Insert and my thumb on the alt key, and then use my left hand finger to press the S key. This is quite a trick of contortion. so I wish I could change this to something easier. But if it is also in the keyboard manager list, I can't figure out how to find it, or what it's called. I hope this is more clear. Thanks very much. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Evangeline Dionisio" <evangeline.dionisio@xxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, March 31, 2007 10:37 AM Subject: Re: a question about displaying font information with jaws version 8.0.423 and microsoft word 2003 The first thing to do is you go to the keyboard manager. Then locate the dessired application that you want to change. So for example microsoft word. Then go to the next pane by pressing tab. Then locate the dessired keystroke you want to change, as you mentioned say font. After that, as you are locating the dessired keystroke you heard the asigned key right! After you hear the asign key for say font, press tab for you to go to the asign hotkey. That's now the time you can change the hotkey asign to it. After you change the default hotkey, press tab to go to the ok button. That's also the time the JAWS setting will now accept the new hotkey. I hope this will help you. I'm very sorry for the confusing words. If you still have questions, just ask me and I will answer you as soon as I can.
