Hello Betsy. I think that you can change a DBT setting to fix the problem of extraneous reading by JAWS when you select text with the Shift key. It is one of the Cursor locator settings. Go to Global settings - View preferences. Uncheck the checkbox labeled "Show cursor locator when shift is pushed." I don't have an immediate answer about the problem of extra spaces that appear and disappear on your braille display. But I'm wondering about one setting when you open the JAWS Configuration manager from DBT. Under Braille options, is "Active follows braille" checked? I think that the behavior you have described might occur if you check that option.

If I display the codes using alt-f3 I see what looks like two or three character spaces between some of the words on the display. If I check with the cursor, there really is only one space between the words and if I delete the space the words are then touching. If I then turn the codes off the large space remains. If I continue to move down through the document, all seems right again. This also occurs when I open braille documents and then display the codes. Also, If I am in a braille document and the speech is reading the print words and then I want to highlight part of the text by holding down the shift and using the up or down arrow, the speech starts reading the words in braille code. I don't remember this being like this before. Also, I can't seem to get my Index Basic-D settings to stick. everytime I bring a new document in, I have to reset the number of characters and the top and binding margins in the Document Menu Embosser settings. They do stick after I save them with the document. . * * * * This message is via list duxhelp at freelists.org. * To unsubscribe, send a blank message with * unsubscribe * as the subject to <duxhelp-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>.
