I believe that Say All is a mode toggled with JAWS-S which cycles through say none, say highlighted and say all.

JAWS-B, in my installation gives a list of the controls in their tab order in a dialog box.

JAWS-uparrow is the say line command. You may have been thinking of the JAWS-downarrow which reads from the current location to the bottom of the window or the bottom of the document depending on which cursor is active. In any case, none of the stated keystrokes given are correct.

Now it is very nice for people to offer help and assistance, many times I have asked for and received assistance, occasionally someone complains about the sort of questions asked but the real traffic jam here is distinctly incorrect or inaccurate information. I don't remember which road it is said to be paved with good intentions, it appears though, to be a well traveled one.

These remarks are not directed to any particular individual, not a flame or anything like that, it just happens that I have responded to this particular message. I would however ask that people withhold their kindness in favour of actual help and assistance.

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
