Hi Chevelle,
Glad to hear that it worked fine! Now, here is how to display the full path in
XP whenever you want in order for Jaws to read it:
When you have a Search Results window or any folder or sub-folder window active
on the screen, just go the View menu using Alt + V, arrow down to Choose
Details and hit Enter. You could have pressed c key instead to obtain the same
results. A Choose Details box will appear. Here, you can either Tab or press
Alt + W to get to the Width of selected column in pixels field. Type 300 or
400, or more and hit Enter for OK. Test your path with Jaws. Here, I would just
arrow down to see if there are any other dot dot dot around. You can repeat
this procedure at will until you get what you want to hear. One of these days,
we would have to start determining the real physical size of any item on the
computer screen, including file path. That's my favorite adaptive stuff during
training.
Adam

Hi Adam, thank you thank you! you understood what I was asking for. You were
also right. When I did the search using the windows search it didn't show
the whole file path. The reason I thought it had was because when I used the
jaws cursor, and used the insert plus numpad four, and it said the same
thing, but when I read your post I went back and used the jawas cursor, but
this time I just used the numpad four to read letter by letter, and sure
enough after the dan it read the number two and part of the folder of my.
Thanks for making me aware of the search results not show the whole name,
and telling me what jaws should be saying. Is ther a way to get the search
to show th whole path name. So for example my file was in the documents and
settings\dan2\my recent documents. How do I get the search results to show
that whole file path? thanks again.
