Hi,
Insert  F 7 brings up a list of links.

Whenever I press enter on a link brought up by Insert F 7, it opensa web page.

The issue is whether JAWS 7 decides on its own to read it or not. People keep telling me how to read selected info. I know how to read any selected text. Then why did earlier JAWS versions flawlessly read the link one chooses using Insert F 7?

The entire purpose of Insert F 7 is to quickly locate links; however to make that work, JAWS needs to read what one happens to choose within that list of links.


Obviously, others have not encountered this hence the reason for asking.

Is it possible that the address is in text and not a hyperlink?

Hi,
I am saying that JAWS does not frequently read the highlighted link on the
web using
Insert F 7. Often it does but often it does not.

I say this because earlier versionsa always read whatever link one happenedto choose using Insert F 7.

If JAWS says nothing when one selects a link using Insert F 7, then how does one know where one is if one hears nothing?

And then sometimes JAWS will read the link one chooses using Insert F 7. It is hit and miss and should work every time as in earlier versions
read correctly whatever I chose using Insert F 7 all thet ime.]

What application are you trying to use this in?
Insert F7 is used to bring up a list of links on a web page.

Hi all,

I  have noticed that when using "insert + F 7" thatJAWS will frequently
not
read the selected item at all and remains silent.



This diminishes the value of  Insert F 7.
