Ismail,
You're a genius! Ctrl+Shift+J has done the trick.
I was under the impression that you had to have Alt within a
short cut for it to work.
Well done and many thanks.
Jim

Hi Jim,
I am not sure if a list of all the shortcut keys on your pc
exists?
I think a repair of jaws might be the best to see if the
problem lies with
jaws.
As a matter of interest are you using alt control in the
combinations you
have tried?
As a suggestion try shift control j to see if it works.
Regards,
Ismail
