I have this problem, too, Dorothy. I don't know what the heck is the reason.And sometimes those dialog boxes don't speak except if I get the JAWS cursor in there to read the text in the box. Sometimes I can find the Close box or cancel Box and use that..
But here is how I also often close those dialog boxes. It seems to work just about every time.I do an ALT+SPACEBAR. You can up and down arrow for the choices. I usually just type C to close.
The other choices in this menu are: X for Maximize, N for Minimize, M for Move, or sometimes R for Restore.
Hope this helps. Rik -------------------------------------------------- From: "Dorothy Ingram-Gorban" <dorothy.ingram-gorban@xxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, February 21, 2010 3:54 PM To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: stuck again
