Hi Christopher, I failed to use this dictionary with later versions of JAWS.
Eventually, the full OED access provided by NLB was my solution.
Otherwise, the "define:" option in Google sometimes provides me with what I
need.
Best,
Richard Godfrey-McKay

Hello All,

A friend, who is not on this list, has the Shorter Oxford English 
Dictionary on CD-ROM.  When she tries to use the dictionary, she gets 
very little help from JAWS.  For example, JAWS will not tell her 
where to type the word for which she wants a definition.  She is 
using JAWS version 5.  I am not a JAWS user, so cannot offer any 
screen reader advice!

Any suggestions gratefully received.

Cheers,

Christopher
