Yardbird, I always remove the old hotkey, and then add the hotkey to the new desktop shortcut that jaws creates when you install it, however with version 8 this appears not to be working. Cheers.

But Laura seems to have done this properly, only to find the field deleting what she's entered there so that, in effect, there simply isn't a hotkey anymore. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Morey Worthington" <blindwop@xxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, November 19, 2006 7:11 AM Subject: Re: strange problem with jaws 8 and ctrl+alt+j hotkey Regarding Jaws 8.0 hot key. Could you still have that hot key assigned to an earlier version of Jaws and you did not remove it? Just a thought.
