Hi Len,
Others have suggested various tutorials, but I'd suggest a
couple of other things.
1) Install a demo version a home.
2) Put the mouse in an inaccessible place.
After a few days of that:-
3) Blindfold yourself, and try navigating a few web pages
and applications with which you are familiar.
George. (Also sighted)

Thanks for replies, Jim and Hazel
A couple of things to add to explain my needs more clearly;
firstly, I'm a sighted helper; secondly, I get very little
opportunity to try Jaws for myself - I don't have it at
home, it's only on the IT training computers. So what I
need is something I can just swot up on, on the web or
printed.
Len

Hi Len,
I am a relatively new JAWS /computer user. And the
first thing which really helped me was learning to touch
type. I know it sounds basic. But things seem better once
you can find the keys!
The next thing that I found helpful was creating
some simple word documents. Playing around with the
navigation keys changing the appearance of the document,
learning to save the information using the spell checker and
so on.
It will not happen at once but simple things first
and then you can build up the tasks as the programme becomes
more familiar.
Hope this is of some help to you!
Best wishes,
Hazel.

Subject: [jaws-uk] Oops 2nd try. Support
worker looking for advice
Hello All
I find myself in the position of support
worker for VI people studying IT, nominally Jaws users but
new to it themselves. Training by my employer doesn't seem
likely so I'm looking for suggestions.
I've printed out the Jaws Help lists of
keystrokes, also Navigation Quick Keys, but I'm finding it
just too much to take in. The use of headings, tables,
columns, fields, etc. is particularly confusing as many
webpages don't seem to be set up to include them.
I'm hoping that someone on here can direct
me to, or provide, material that offers a simple
introduction; Basic Steps; Getting Started; that sort of
thing.
