(poking nose into other peoples
' thread, again).  Yes.  Same here.  And on my second mug of late-rising 
Sunday morning coffee, I.Q. slowly rising toward at least my body 
temperature, finally.

Still asleep. I was thinking of what I use in terms of those situations
where something doesn't read. Next step would be to wield the Jaws
cursor.

Don't feel bad, I got totally confused!
Say Current Line is INSERT+UP ARROW.
In a dialog such as MSConfig, this will often tell you if something is
checked or not, even if cursoring up or down to it does not.
Say All  is INSERT+DOWN ARROW
Does a say all. Reads the document or window to the bottom, depending on
what cursor is active.
Insert tab. says the Window Prompt and the text that is in that window.
Read Current Window is INSERT+B.
This reads everything in tab order.  Useful in situations where all
you might hear is okay button, but you know there must be more text in
the
window.

I missed the earlier messages in this thread, so please forgive if my
question is too confused or confusing.  But I have a comment, then a
question:

First of all, on those relatively rare occasions when I can't seem to
check
a check box in an online form (I assume that's what's being discussed?),
Usually, it works when I simple turn off Forms Mode (Insert num pad
plus),
then just use my up and down arrow keys to find that box and check it.
Then
I go into Forms Mode again when I need to input text again into an edit
field in the form

But I have to guess maybe this question isn't about online forms?  If
so,
sorry.

My questions are  to Jerry.  First of all, how come you refer to Insert
B as
Say All?  I know it as the command to read everything only within a
dialogue, not as the Say All for general use, which of course is Insert
up
arrow.  And insert tab is a command I don't know at all.  Is it a sort
of
context-specific command for reading one line only within a dialogue?

Again, sorry if I'm misunderstanding everything because I didn't see the
beginning of the thread.

Jaws key B as in bravo is say all, but to read the line, nwhich is
probably what you want to do, is Jaws key tab. .

Hi
   It seems like Jaws says unchecked when things are actually checked.
I
need to down or up arrow then back to the check to see if it is really
checked.  How can I check without down or up arrowing?  What is "Say
all"
Where is it?  Thanks

Marsha Anderson
