>> Dear Claire
>>
>> Here is an Eric-edited version of your 14-07-2004
>> e-mail from Mr M. Schall:
>>
>> "The Custom Highlight Options dialog allows you to
>> modify how JAWS will react to Custom Highlights you
>> have assigned for an application.
>> You can change how JAWS will treat Windows Highlights
>> and Custom Highlights and you can delete assigned
>> Custom Highlights, but you cannot assign Custom
>> Highlights from this dialog.
>>
>> (See link Assigning Custom Highlight Colors. )
>>
>> You will find the following controls in this dialog:
>>
>> Highlights ListView
>>
>> This list contains all of the defined color
>> highlights. To delete an item in this list, select the Delete button
>> or press DELETE on the keyboard.
>>
>> Color Highlight Group
>>
>> This series of radio buttons allows you to specify
>> which highlights will be spoken.
>>
>> Regardless of this radio button selection, all of the
>> custom highlights are displayed in the highlights
>> ListView.
>>
>> The following options are available:
>>
>> . Windows Only:
>>
>> When this is checked, only the Windows Standard
>> Highlights will be treated as highlights.
>> All custom colors defined for the application will be ignored.
>>
>> . Custom Only:
>>
>> When this is checked, only the custom highlight colors
>> will be treated as highlights.
>> Windows Standard Highlight, inverse, etc. will be
>> ignored.
>>
>> . Windows and Custom:
>>
>> Both Windows Standard Highlights and Custom Highlights defined in
>> this application will be processed as highlights.
>>
>> Delete Button
>>
>> This button can be used to delete items in the color ListView.
>>
>> OK button
>>
>> This button can be used to save changes and close the dialog. If this
>> dialog was opened by selecting Configuration Manager, Set Options,
>> Custom Highlight Options...,you will be returned to the Configuration
>> Manager.
>> Otherwise, you will be returned to the program from
>> which you selected Custom Highlight Assign.
>>
>> Cancel button
>>
>> This button can be used to cancel changes and close
>> the dialog.
>> If this dialog was opened by selecting Configuration Manager, Set
>> Options, Custom Highlight Options..., you will be returned to the
>> Configuration Manager.
>>
>> Otherwise, you will be returned to the program from
>> which you selected Custom Highlight Assign and a
>> Custom highlight will not be assigned.
>> Previously assigned Custom Highlights will not be
>> altered.
>>
>> Windows uses highlights to set apart icons and menu
>> items that have the system focus. Text that is
>> selected is also highlighted. The colors used for
>> these highlights are set in Control Panel,Display,Appearance.
>>
>> These colors can also be set in some applications.
>> JAWS reads the text of highlighted items, and JAWS
>> echoes changes. So when you ARROW through a menu, JAWS
>> reads each menu item to which the highlight (or
>> selection) is moved.
>>
>> In JAWS for Windows, you can now specify which colors
>> will be recognized as custom highlights for your applications.
>>
>> You can specify custom highlights based on:
>>
>> . Foreground Color (text color)
>>
>> . Background Color
>>
>> . Both Foreground and Background Colors
>>
>> Once assigned, text matching the color(s) you have
>> specified will be treated as highlighted by JAWS.
>> For examle, SaySelectedText (INSERT+SHIFT+DOWN
>> ARROW) will read Custom Highlights you have assigned.
>>
>> To assign Custom Highlight Colors, you first need to identify text
>> with the colors you wish to use. This might be text that is already
>> present on the screen, but is difficult to access with other JAWS
>> features. If text of the colors you wish to use is not already
>> present on the screen, you may need to set the text
>> color in the application.
>>
>> This is not an option in all applications, but should
>> be possible in most word processing programs.
>>
>> Text color can be verified with the SayColor
>> keystroke, INSERT+5.
>> Once text with the desired colors is identified, move
>> the focus of the active cursor to this text.
>>
>> Press INSERT+F2 to bring up the Run JAWS Manager
>> dialog, and select Custom Highlight Assign from the
>> list.
>>
>> You can also press CTRL+INSERT+H for Custom Highlight Assign.
>> This will bring up the Choose an Option dialog. This
>> dialog lists the following options:
>>
>> . Set Foreground and Background
>>
>> . Set Foreground Only
>>
>> . Set Background Only
>>
>> Select the desired option and press ENTER. This will
>> bring up the Add Custom Highlight dialog to confirm
>> you want the selected colors to be assigned as a
>> Custom Highlight.
>> You can use the TAB key to move to the Do Not Show
>> This Dialog Again checkbox and press SPACEBAR to
>> bypass this dialog in the future.
>>
>> Press ENTER for OK, and this will bring up the Custom Highlight
>> Options dialog.
>>
>> The Custom Highlight Options Dialog allows you to view
>> the Custom Highlights currently assigned within an application,
>> delete Custom Highlights you are no longer
>> using, and specify if JAWS will recognize only Windows
>> highlights, only Custom Highlights, or both.
>> The default is for JAWS to recognize both Windows
>> highlights and Custom Highlights.
>>
>> You can press ENTER to accept the default settings,
>> and return to the active application.
>>
>> Text matching the options you selected will then be
>> treated s highlighted within the
>> application.
>>
>> *** End of the instructions ***
>>
>> I know this sounds awful but please try to change your settings,
>> maybe it helps.
