OK as far as I can see, when using that build of jaws, there is a jaws
dictionary entry within the internet explorer dictionary with the bullet
symbol included. All you need do is to modify that existing entry,
replacing the word bullet with a space and it will work.

Hi Daren,
Is it only the latest jaws 8 update that doesn't work. There's a couple
of
probs with this update. If so, it obviously isn't about jaws 8 and its
general handling of web pages.
One thing you could do is just switch between jaws 7 and 8 as necessary.
I
know this might seem a pain but, so is banging your head against the
proverbial.
Tom
