Andrew you are missing some of the best features of Kurzweil, start on the numpad side to begin for e.g in Read open or scan a document then when you want to get at the Dictionary try the second key in at the top going front right to left. Shift this same key with the Horizontal key and then you will get more options. You can get at it all from the desktop side in Options and Tools and Define a word and much more. You should have a Manual easy to get at and bookmark. Additionally I found the tape Tutorials very helpful when first starting. I had to ask for these,they were not at that time mentioned on the Website, I contacted Kurzweil directly to ask more about. In particular was a2 Tape Tutorial. that is very useful as a Manual of several hundred pages is a bit daunting. However you have a wonderful tool there to explore. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andrew Diaz Russell" <a.diazrussell@xxxxxxxxx> To: <jaws-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, May 25, 2006 10:18 AM Subject: [jaws-uk] Re: Accessible dictionaries > Dear Dorothy, > > Could you explain how you access the dictionaries in Kurzweil please?
