Hi Ray,

This is very easy.  Instead of pressing enter on the link, hit your context
or application key, then select Save Target As.  You will then get the
standard file download box and be able to save it as a Word .doc file.  If
you don't know where your application key is, on a standard keyboard, it is
two keys to the left of the normal left arrow.  Or you can also press
Shift-F10, but I don't think this works in JAWS.

All the best

Subject: [access-uk] RNIB A-Z lists of books and MS Word

We've been having a minor discussion over on the RnIB Arena TB list about
the new A-Z offering of books in the TB catalogue that RnIB have just put
up. 
Links to various A-Z lists  can be reached at:

Many of us find that when clicking on these MS Word opens up without
warning. 
Someone has said he is prompted to save the file on one computer.  So,
question is, how does one get IE to prompt before loading the page in Word?

Many of us doubt whether this is really the right way of doing things
because the alphabet links are not of course marked in HTML.  Also there's
the possibility of editing the document unintentionally if you do not know
you are in Word.  Its really the being prompted for transfering to MS Word
I'm asking about.  How do you get Internet Explorer to do this?
