Very good. I remembered that since many web pages use tables in design,
screen layout also makes those elements read straight across. So if you
go to a web site with which you are familiar, what had seemed to be a
list of links vertically will be horizontal too.

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
