Good afternoon Roger and everyone, You might want to listen to our August and September FSCast podcasts before making a final decision as to whether or not you want to use JAWS 10. You can find the MP3 files at: http://www.freedomscientific.com/FSCast/default.asp Regarding Auto Forms Mode: many people are finding that it most definitely improves their web browsing experience, especially when using online forms. If you don't want to use Auto Forms mode, you can simply disable it and JAWS will act as it always has. If you find that Auto Forms mode is activating when you are using quick nav keys to move through an online form and you don't want it to activate every time you land on a form element because you then cannot move away from that element using a quick nav key, you can set a delay so that Auto Forms mode won't immediately activate when you land on it after pressing a quick nav key. Please send me an email off list if you would like me to send you the instructions on how to disable Auto Forms mode or set a nav key delay.

That might help. I want Jaws 10 precisely because of that forms mode feature. ----- Original Message ----- From: <rogerbailey81@xxxxxxx> To: <bookshare-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, November 18, 2008 3:33 PM Subject: [bookshare-discuss] O T JAWS 10 > Yesterday I got JAWS 10 and promptly installed it.
