Tiddy, (note i spelt your name right this time) Holding down the control key for a second or two works for me. You may need to repeat this several times.

I've been using Jaws with the synthesizer called Text Assist for 9 years, but it don't work with XP, to which I recently upgraded, so I've had to use the awful Eloquence. Actually there are some features which this does better, but if I have it yakking away and try to stop it with the Control key, it usually takes a very long time to react. Any ideas? JFW 5.1 and Sound Blaster 5.12, if that matters. ----- Original Message ----- From: tiddy ogg To: jaws-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, April 16, 2005 3:37 PM Subject: [jaws-uk] test - please ignore. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No virus found in this incoming message.
