This total lack of speech happens whenever I use the say all command. I think that the problem is due to the office assistant being visible on the screen but I am not sure. I used to know a shortcut key to toggle the office assistant on and off but I forgot it. But that might not be the problem at all. I am using Microsoft work 2003 on a windows XP Pro machine with JFW version 4.51 and a focus 44 Braille display. Any help would be greatly appreciated. > Allison > -- > To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line. > Archives located at: //www.freelists.org/archives/jfw > > If you have any concerns about the list, post received from the list, or the way the list is being run, do not post them to the list.
