Enhancements in JAWS 9.0.2169 (May 2008)

The following reported items were addressed in this update.
All enhancements since the initial public beta release are
included in the update.

JAWS

*       AVG Anti-Virus 8.0 software no longer fails when you
start the application while JAWS is running. 
*       Resolved an issue where several customers reported
installation error #824 when trying to install JAWS after
running some a registry cleaner. This problem no longer
occurs with versions 9.0.2169 and later. 

AOL Instant Messenger

*       The aimhelper.jsh file is now again included with
JAWS 9.0. This file refers to constants and global variables
used by the AOL Instant Messenger help file script. 

Microsoft Excel

*       JAWS now retains and reads column and row titles
that you set in multiple Excel worksheets. Before, when you
returned to the previous worksheet, JAWS would not announce
column and row titles (CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+C and
CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+R). 

Microsoft Internet Explorer

*       After selecting the Skip to Content link on the
Social Security Administration Web page, JAWS now
consistently moves to the next link when you press TAB. 
*       When you press ENTER to turn Forms Mode off, it now
turns off as the Web page refreshes and updates. 

Microsoft Office

*       JAWS no longer repeats the column and row
information when navigating by line (UP ARROW or DOWN ARROW)
in a one row, one column table. 

Microsoft Outlook

*       When moving through a menu tree list of folders in
Outlook, JAWS correctly announces folder names as you use
the ARROW keys to navigate the list. Earlier, JAWS would say
scroll down symbol or scroll up symbol instead of the folder
name. 
*       When navigating the list of folders in the Move
Items dialog box (CTRL+SHIFT+V) and the Copy Items dialog
box (CTRL+SHIFT+Y), JAWS no longer announces blank as you
move from one folder to another. 
*       E-mail messages no longer close when you select and
copy message text using the APPLICATION Key's Copy command. 

Microsoft PowerPoint

*       JAWS correctly reads text that is typed into
PowerPoint edit fields (for example, the File name field in
the Open dialog box) when you use the Say Line command
(INSERT+UP ARROW). Previously, JAWS would announce blank. 

Microsoft Word

*       JAWS now announces the Word Count dialog box
statistics when you press ALT+T, W in Word 2007 or Word 2003
documents. 
*       JAWS now recognizes and announces when text wraps to
the next line in any text editor, word processor, or Web
page when using the Say All command with the read new line
character function turned on. The User Reads Text Containing
New Line Character check box is in the Text Processing
dialog box of the Configuration Manager. When it is
selected, JAWS announces the words new line while reading
and moving to the next line of text in sentences and
paragraphs.
