Hi, There are two sets of laptop keystrokes in jaws, one being classic and = the other using the cap lock. If you are using the latter, try the = classic laptop. Linda Parent -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Edward Marquette Sent: Sunday, November 23, 2003 1:43 PM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Format Key This is a bit strange, and there has to be a simple explanation, but one escapes me. When I press the JAWS key together with the letter "F," I get much different results on my laptop than I get on my desktop machine. On my desktop, the attributes, including the style, are read out, but no box remains on the screen. On my laptop, a message box appears giving the same information. I can arrow around in this message box. I need to hit escape to get rid of it. If I want to know a particular style, being able to arrow over the style name is pretty valuable. I would like to control when I get the message box and when I just hear the data read out. Please don't say "press the key twice quickly." I know about that, and that is not the result I want. Thanks in advance!
