Hi folks, Here is a tip I was given many years ago and it still works. If I find a link in an email but JAWS does not announce the word link, I place the cursor on the first t of http and press enter, then I move the cursor up or down a line then back to the link, the link is now announced and I can press enter to activate it. Hope this helps, Pete H. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Harvey White" <harveywhite@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jaws-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, April 12, 2011 12:32 PM Subject: [jaws-uk] Re: Opening Links from email >I have the same problem, Ron, using Windows XP with Jaws 7.
