Hi
I turn auto forms mode off the second I start working with a machine. This
solves problems like you have described and can be done from with in
configuration manager.
1. Press insert or caps and F2.
2. Select configuration manager from the list by pressing C and then press
enter.
3. Once inside, press control shift and D to select the default JAWS
configuration file.
4. Press Alt and S for the set options menu, and go down to forms mode
options, which should be the first option down  past user options.
5. Press Enter on it and unselect the check box that says "use auto forms
mode".
6. shift and tab to OK. Press Enter on it.
7. Press control and S to save the configuration file and exit using Alt and
F4.
You shouldn't get stuck like that again.
I hope this helps.
By the way if you happen to like the auto forms mode sounds, you can still
use them to tell you when going in and out of forms mode, just tab past the
use auto forms mode checkbox and select the use sounds one before OK-ing and
completing the rest of the steps.   

Hope this helps you.

Erica.

Kevin,

I have come a bit late to this one so, if this has already been suggested,
apologies.

It sounds to me like you are getting stuck automatically in "Auto Forms"
mode so you could try pressing the Plus (+) key on your NumberPad to change
to PC Cursor mode and this should then allow you to move up and down again.
It will, however, turn on Auto Forms mode again if you stray back into and
edit field or similar.

Jamie

Subject: [jaws-uk] JAWS STICKING IN SEARCH BOX

Hi all,

I'm experiencing Jaws sticking in search boxes. I've particularly
noticed this when in Yahoo! Mail (Jaws will just stop speaking and the
only way out is to tab around or, sometimes to close Yahoo and go back
in).

Can anyone offer any suggestions as to how I can avoid this?

I'm using Jaws 10, Windows Vista Home Premium and have 3gb of RAM.

Many thanks in advance for any help
