Thanks. That was my impression. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lora" <loravara@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, November 19, 2006 5:28 PM Subject: RE: IE 7 and tabs If you do a Control+N in IE 7.0, it will start a new instance of the browser. This is true for IE 6.0 as well. When you do control+N, it tells IE to start up a second session, so you can open a new page. IE 7.0's tabs prevent the necessity for this, but you can still use Control+N, if you really do want your pages in separate windows. -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Yardbird Sent: Sunday, November 19, 2006 5:42 PM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: IE 7 and tabs That's what I was thinking, too, Rick. I had a notion that every time you open a new page with control N, and then using your Favorites list or the address bar to take you to a different page from the one you've reproduced by pressing control N, you're launching IE afresh. That may not be so, but I've always suspected that's what was happening, and why it required circulating around the Task Bar with Alt Tab in order to go from one such page to another. whereas with this multiple tab approach, it seems that it's all being accomplished within one open copy of IE. Anybody know for sure? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rick Harmon" <rharmon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, November 19, 2006 4:32 PM Subject: Re: IE 7 and tabs 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.

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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Adrian Spratt Sent: Sunday, November 19, 2006 5:08 PM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: IE 7 and tabs 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. ----- Original Message ----- From: Lora 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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Rose Combs Sent: Sunday, November 19, 2006 4:17 PM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: IE 7 and tabs 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.
