Hi David,
You are right about the versions of Word acting the way they do. Word 97
did not have MSAA in it and it showed. I found that one out after talking
to Peter Wong, who might still be with Microsoft in their MSAA division. I
liked Word 2000 a lot - still do. But we're using Word 2003 at work and,
although there are some nice things about it, it still is odd at times.
JAWS 6 also behaves in an odd fashion at times as well.
For example, if the I-beam (mouse pointer in text) in in a word, JAWS 6
cannot read the whole word during either SayAll or SayLine. I have to
switch to JAWS cursor, move the I-beam, then switch to PC cursor and
continue reading.
Then, there's the "wonderful" task pane issue we brought up a while back.
And while Spell Check works well, the Thesaurus opens in a task pane.
Well, no one suggested that Microsoft was original. Heh. But I wish that
JAWS could work in a more consistent manner.
Thanks, David.
Francis
