Hi,
Yes, this change can be set up on the fly through the verbosity dialog, and, if you want that change to be permanent, you do it through configuration manager. To do that, from any Internet Explorer window, press insert+f6 to bring up the IE configuration. Then, do an alt+s to bring up the "Set Options" menu. Arrow down to HTML options and press Enter. This is a multi-page dialog. Go into the Misc tab and it's the first combo box you'll see. Set it accordingly, click OK or just whack Enter and you're in business.

Just to clarify a bit, to my knowledge, these presentation options have nothing to do with tables in Word.
Somebody can correct me if I'm wrong.

Tom

Probably the Insert V on-the-fly Jaws menu you can call up while Web
surfing, is what I'm assuming.

What menu are you guys talking about?  Anything that makes table reading
easier, especially in word,  is right down my alley.

Tom,

thanks.  That's great.  Even though I've learned a keyboard command for
approximating this effect while reading a table (I think it's shift
insert
num pad 5), being able to set a table to display to Jaws this way will
be a
nice addition to that.  The hardest thing for me about interpreting a
table
with jaws is trying to memorize everything as I go so that I can imagine
the
table mentally as if I could still see it.  This is a second tool for
simplifying that sometimes very daunting process.

Thanks again.

Hi,
Let me see if I can explain this clearly. It has to do with the way that
tables are presented to you on web pages.

By default, JAWS 7 and 8 set the document presentation mode to simple
layout. Suppose you have a table with 3 columns and 3 rows. As you use
your
down arrow to read down the page and encounter this table, each cell in
the
table would appear to be on a separate line.  Thus each of the nine
table
cells would appear one after another in a vertical fashion, like this

Table has 3 columns and 3 rows
Model
Description
Price
STD
JAWS for Windows Standard Edition
$995.00
PRO
JAWS for Windows Professional Edition
$1185.00
Table End


.  Get the picture?

Now, when you set document presentation mode to screen layout.  instead
of
encountering each cell as a separate line item, again using your down
arrow,
you'd find that each table row appears on its own line, and the complete
row
would be read to you, as follows:

Table has 3 columns and 3 rows
Model  Description  Price
STD | JAWS for Windows Standard Edition  | $995.00
PRO  | JAWS For Windows Professional Edition  |  $1185.00
Table End

Hope this helps.

Tom
