Hi Stuart,
That's excellent. That's how I'd done it for about twelve years, but a
number of factors made me change to the the RightAlt method: whatever
settings were on the laptop I was using; an experimental switch from MS
Word to OpenOffice.org etc. Maybe even, my language settings weren't right
when I upgraded to Windows 7 etc.
it's good to have the old way back and working perfectly with Jaws:-).
Regards,
Robbie
