Hi Terry, Your suggestion re coding of the pages is valid. I looked at some of the free material on the pages, and none of it have any language switching codes. There's a small snippet of the HTML code below my signature.

One way round the problem might be to: 1 install prooffing tools and appropriate dictionaries to Word. 2 Set word to detect languages automatically. 3. copy and paste contents of web page into word document. Better still: write to site owner asking them to re-tab the pages with span language tags where appropriate. Hope this helps. come back to me off list for detailed instructions.

I have my JAWS verbosity settings set to "language detection, on", but JAWS is not picking up when the text changes from one language to he other. I vaguely remember that there is a way of switching between languages on the fly, without having to go back into the JAWS options menu every time, but can't for the life of me think where to find it. Can anyone help? Muchas gracias, Maggie mpi moore@xxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:mpimoore@xxxxxxxxxxxx> tel: 01372 373057 No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
