Tab to the box and then do a alt + spacebar and then you can errow down or up and it will read each as it is highlighted. -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Michael Malver Sent: Saturday, January 12, 2008 7:11 To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: expanding a listbox with a laptop I'm sorry, but the answer isn't alt-down-arrow. I don't know what the answer is, but I do know what the answer isn't. Alt-down arrow opens a listbox. I don't want to open the listbox. I want to ensure that whatever is displayed horizontally in the listbox is read in its entirety. In other words, each item in a listbox is sometimes not spoken in its entirety by jaws. I want to ensure the full item is spoken. Thanks for helping. -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Dennis Bartlett Sent: Saturday, January 12, 2008 8:22 AM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: expanding a listbox with a laptop It's Alt+down arrow.

Does it exist already as a keystroke?
