MessageJust noticed that with JFW 10.0.1151 the left alt key works with the 
alternate say all but the right alt key does not work.  Neither is the right 
alt key insert down arrow documented in the jaws help, insert 1 on the number 
row.  Could they be just looking at key codes?

  K,

  Have you thought of adding the LeftAlt+DownArrow to your key manager list to 
also have it perform the function?

  Not sure because I'm not JAWS 10, I'm waiting for the next odd-numbered JAWS 
revision.

  Sad to say it seems to me that the most resilient JAWS versions since JAWS 
3.5 seem to all have been odd-numbered, with the exception that JAWS 8 was 
pretty stable, as well. Strange.

  Dave

    Guys,
        Has anyone noticed that in JAWS 10.0.1154, when you choose an alternate 
Say All, in order to use the default Say All voice and override your alternate 
say all in a given case, you must press the right hand alt key before pressing 
insert down arrow. That's a drag because it's much easier to press the left alt 
key and then press insert down arrow in desktop layout with the right hand.  
Any idea why overriding default say all has to be invoked with the right hand 
alt key and not the left?
    Kevin
