Ah thank you. I'm nearly catching up :o) Amie From: jaws-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jaws-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Graham Page Sent: 12 January 2010 23:51 To: jaws-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [jaws-uk] Re: msn The program now called Windows Live Messenger used to be called MSN Messenger. Originally, when Windows XP was first released, it came with a program called Windows Messenger which did the same things at a more basic level. Windows Messenger was never included with Windows Vista and beyond. MSN Messenger and Windows Live Messenger essentially do the same things. Windows Live Messenger is the replacement for MSN Messenger. Windows Messenger also does many of the same things though I believe there are some compatibility issues with voice chat. The choices are therefore to stick with Windows Messenger which should work well for typing messages for users or to go with Windows Live Messenger. If you just want the typing chat then I see no good reason not to use Windows messenger as windows live messenger is more cluttered. all these programs with similar names can make it sound more complicated than it really is.

Keystrokes are not that many different ones you will need in daily use. Alt plus 1, 2, 3 and so forth wil let you read previous messenges you receive, in case you missed one. You type the text you want to write in and just hit enter to send the message to your contact. The messenger will also tell you when any friend comes online or whenever a new message is received jaws will speak that message right away when the messenger window is in focus or will notify you that you have a message come in, when the window is minimized. Other than that navigation in the menus works like you usually would navigate around using jaws. you can also send files to a person in your contact list, comes in handy sometimes. For this the other person needs to be online to accept a file send from you. I am sure a left a bunch of stuff out but windows live also has some pages available to familiarize yourself a little with the different features and stuff. Hth Take care!

Anything I should know re- JAWS before I go ahead? I'm shamefully bad at remembering all those special keystrokes you lot know so much about. Any I should be armed with for this? Thanks again.

You can write back and forth with someone instantly when you both are online and have added each other into the contacts list. You can also have voice chat using this messenger, via headset.
