Dear list,

I have Jaws 7 and windows 2000 and XP home edition. I have recently upgraded to 
Jaws 7 from 5 and I am encountering a problem when typing foreign characters in 
MS word documents.

To get the é ó, ú and á, one is to press altgram plus the voyel. With í, one is 
to press a different set of keys since if not, we will enter insert mode or 
overtype mode. However, I have pressed altgram I since it works in forms mode 
in the Internet.

What happens is that Jaws does not allow me to do anything if I do this. 
Everything I press will have ctrl added to the convination of keys I am 
actually pressing and windows key will not work. I am forced to do a hard 
shut-down to get it to work again.

Does anybody know how to solve this problem. If there are any Spanish users 
with an English keyboard setting who have solved this, please let me know. 
Also, if you have to write foreign characters in outlook express to send 
E-mails, how do you type them since it does not work like Word...?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards and thank you once again,

Andrew.
