Thanks Mike. Reading the status line always worked for me...

Hi Dave Kimsan, & Peter; 1 other way you can get file information while in list view, is with the file highlighted, press the Insert / Jaws key + page down / 3 key. Hope this helps. Take care.

Hi Dave; Using XP, with detail view checked, I get the same results as you and can't get any information using the arrow keys. Which leads me to the question, what operating systems are Peter & Kimsan running? I know Kimsan runs Windows7 but, I don't know about Peter. Daniel, good point! Take care.

Peter, IF you're using Ctrl+Alt+arrow, then that's what I hear, also. The keystrokes are Insert+Ctrl+the numbers 1, 2, etc. Dave Composed on a Dell Latitude 630 in the general vicinity of my Audio Recording and Mixing Studios, San Francisco Bay Area. ----- Original Message ----- From: Peter Holdstock <mailto:peterholdstock@xxxxxxx> To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, December 31, 2010 11:15 Subject: Re: How can JAWS recognize the file size and format automatically?

Hi, if I've understood correctly, in windows explorer set the view to details under the view menu. Then as you move down to a file, you can press left and right arrow keys to move to the various bits of information i.e. file type, size etc. Peter -----Original Message----- From: mostafa almahdy Sent: Tuesday, December 28, 2010 4:24 AM To: jfw Subject: How can JAWS recognize the file size and format automatically? just as it in the subject line -- Best Wishs.
