Does jaws 12 use all its own directories.  If it is no different from earlier 
versions you may have problems with the shared components.  installing the 
older after the new version may mean that you update the shared components or 
rolled them back so some of the functionality may be affected.  I don't recall 
whether you have the option to update or not update the shared components when 
installing.
I just wanted to raise this point to avoid unexpected results.

Ted,

If you don't have JAWS 10 still installed, you should be able to install it 
from your CD or the downloadable file and have it co-reside.

I'm flirting with the idea of reverting to 10, then jumping back to 12.  After 
all, 10 was the last time Access worked.  I filed a beta report, and mentioned 
that strategy; let's see what I get back.  Sounds like a weekend project to me.

Ted,

I agree with both your points, and unfortunately don't have any idea on how to 
help you with MS-Access.

Yes, Text Analyzer could be really nice.

The whole thing was pretty smooth.  I was underwhelmed by the virtual ribbon, 
and turned it off. However, I noticed that 12's handling of the Microsoft 
ribbon is better than 10-11's.  Unfortunately, Access still doesn't work.  I'd 
darn near give a week's pay to know what broke between 10 and 11; why only this 
one application, and what is the hardware-software interaction on my particular 
machine?

The Big sleeper here may be Text Analyzer.  For those of us who write, this 
could be a real bonus.

Ted,

This one is pretty benign. And yes, they can coexist so you can switch 
back/forth. I recommend that you make sure you have your current JAWS shortcut 
set to a hotkey like Ctrl+Shift+J to make it easier to launch.

Also note that after you install the JAWS 12 Beta, it will turn off the auto 
launch of your current JAWS, so make sure you set that back before rebooting.

I've never fooled with one of these before.  If I decide to install, I gather 
from the Web site that it will coexist with JAWS 11, and will, presumably, run 
until the commercial product is available.  Anything I need to know about the 
installation or uninstallation process?  Given all the problems with 11, I'm 
partly hopeful, and more than a little gun shy.
