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.
