MessageI would also assume it takes a lot less memory for the tabbed approach
as well since you don't have to have multiple instances of IE running for each
page.

The real advantage is that all those windows we've just opened, Amazon,
Bookshare, JFWlite, Freedom Scientific, etc., are all in one window. If you
were to Alt-Tab away from IE, you'd find that there was only one IE window.
For instance, if you had Outlook Express open, and Winamp, you'd press
Alt-Tab, and step to winamp, then Outlook Express, then back to IE. IE would
only appear once on the toolbar, whether you have one tab open or eight.

Hi, Lora.
Thanks for such specific instructions. I'm curious. I've always used
control-n to open a new window while in IE, and the technique has worked
nicely. It has enabled me to switch between IE windows using alt-tab and
alt-control-tab. I wonder what the advantages in this new procedure might be.

Hi Rose,
OK, open Internet Explorer.
Choose your first page in whatever way you want. If you wish, for
simplicity's sake, use Control+O to bring up a dialog box, and enter
www.freedomscientific.com. Press enter. This should load the FS web page.
Browse through that page to make certain you're comfortable with it.
Now, let's say you want to open another page. Press Control+T. This
starts a new tab.
Type in www.bookshare.org. Press enter. Now you'll be placed in the
Bookshare page. Browse around it a bit.
Now you want to return to the Freedom Scientific page. Press Control+Tab.
Now you're back on the Freedom Scientific page. JAWS will tell you this, but
if you're ever uncertain what page you're on, press Insert+T to read the
toolbar.
But you can have more tabs open. Do the following:
Press Control+T again. Enter www.amazon.com and press enter. Now the
Amazon page loads.
Press control+T again. Type www.jfwlite.com. Press enter. Now that page
loads. Each of these pages is in its own tab. Think of them as tabs in a
notebook. Control+Tab will let you move forward through the tabs.
Control+Shift+Tab will move you backward through the tabs.
Control+Shift+Q will bring up a list of all your open tabs. Arrow down
through the list to see what sites you have open. When you find the page you
want, you can just press enter to bring up that page.
If you ever want to close a tab, but not all of your tabs, just press
Control+W or Control+F4 while on the page you want to close.
To close Internet Explorer, and all tabs you have open, press Alt+F4.
Internet Explorer will ask if you want to close all tabs. Just press enter to
say Yes.
I hope this helps.

I have listened to the what's new recordings, taken off the Jaws
Headquarters page. I have tried to set up a couple pages as tabs in IE 7 with
Jaws 8 but I just cannot seem to get how it is set up. Any concise
instructions would be appreciated.
