You may find this useful.
There are two ways for you to create a shortcut for Jaws, the first is
on
the desktop and the second on the start menu. If you find that the
keystroke you have assigned does not work on the desktop then you should
delete the desktop icon (for ease at least) and then us the second set
of
steps to create it within the start menu group icon for Jaws. One of
these
methods usually works.
1 Press windows+M to move to "desktop".
2 Press letter J until you reach the Jaws icon on the desktop that
starts
your version of Jaws.
3 Press alt+enter to open the icon properties for Jaws.
4 Then tab twice to the "shortcut key" edit field and type letter J
into
it.
5 Tab to "OK" button and press spacebar on it.
6 Before closing Jaws press windows+m to go back to desktop and ten
press
control+alt+J. If after a short perdio hear "Jaws" and the Jaws window
has
popped up this means you shortcut will work for you when you try it for
real.
Alternative method for setting hotkey for Jaws where desktop shortcut
does
not appear to work
1 First delete the icon for your shortcut you set up previously or
press
alt+enter and make sure in the "shortcut key" edit field that Jaws is no
longer assigned to control+alt+J.
2 Open start menu and press letter P for "programs", then press J for
Jaws.
3 Press shift+f10 for context menu and up arrow until you get to
"properties" then press enter.
4 Then tab twice to the "shortcut key" edit field and type letter J
into
it.
5 Tab to "OK" button and press spacebar on it.
Notes: You can remove Jaws from memory by pressing insert+F4 and press
enter
on the "OK" button. Then you will be able to use your newley setup
shortcut
key to riase Jaws again.

Pete,
Thats the combination I was trying to use but it didn't work
and I've not set up any other hot keys.
Can you just remind meof the sequence for setting up a hot
key just in case I'm getting that part wrong.
Jim

Hi Jim,
I had no problem setting up a hot key for JFW 9, are you
sure the hot key
you are trying to set up isn't used for another application?
The
recommended hot key is ctrl alt j, but you need only press j
to make it
work.
Regards,
Pete H.
