Good afternoon Dorothy. I am using a desktop pc with Jaws8 and Windows xp home edition and got rid of the problem as follows: In the Jaws main window, the one you get by pressing INSERT+J, I press the left hand ALT key to open the menu. With the down arrow I go to BASICS. Here I press ENTER. I find then three radio buttons. I check the bottom one, the one which says ANNOUNCE CUSTOM MESSAGES ONLY. After that I tab and tab until I get to the OK button and press ENTER and that's it! Good luck, Carlos. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dorothy Ingram-Gorban" <dorothy.ingram-gorban@xxxxxxxxx> To: <jaws-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, December 16, 2006 9:24 PM Subject: [jaws-uk] Read only Edit > Dear Listers > I am sure I saw an answer to the irritating 'read only Edit' I have > searched the list however and cannot find it.
