Hi Eleanor, I tried your bellfast telegraph query (in another of your recent messages), Bbut i regret that i couldn't come up with the goods. i did find a letter (of 17 march) that may have been referring to an article on 10 march, on legal aid); but when I went searching past three months - as 10 march is date reckoned by now - I couldn't get any results. Now, The numpad2 with JAWS is a down-arrow key. the numpad5 'says the current character. left and right of 5 are left- and right-arrow. Numpad 123 are end, down-arrow, and page-down. Numpad 789 are Home, up-arrow, and page-up. here endeth this lesson in JAWS-ish! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eleanor Burke" <eleanorburke@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <vip_students@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, June 12, 2008 2:24 AM Subject: [vip_students] Re: [Bulk] Powerpoint tip! lor I am using Supernova. See I am so stupid I was not thinking about those of you using Jaws. I am always in trouble for not thinking but a leopard never changes its spots. I know very little as you can see by all my questions on this list. That said others would think I know a lot, horses for courses.Thank you Flor for picking me up on that one, believe it or not I really do appreciate you doing so.
