Subject: Re: New JAWS 9.0.429 Update
Hi there,
I've just checked FS website and the 429 update can be downloaded. Here is
the change log:
Update Enhancements Included as of Build 9.0.429 (26 October 2007)
JAWS
* Public beta testers reported braille contraction errors with several
words. The following words now contract correctly: Beijing, DuPont,
edition, erroneous, littler, littlest, microwave, Phoenix, severity, and
words containing en.
Microsoft Access 2007
* When reading by line (INSERT plus UP ARROW) in a Microsoft Access 2007
database, JAWS now announces the content of data fields instead of giving an
unknown function call message.
Microsoft Excel 2007
* Now when you try to send a copy of an Excel workbook as an e-mail
attachment directly from Excel, JAWS is able to navigate through the header
edit fields of the open Outlook message.
Microsoft Internet Explorer
* The Table Titles Announce option, which determines if you hear row and
column titles as you navigate through tables on a Web page, is now available
in the Personalized Settings dialog box (INSERT plus SHIFT plus V). This
option is located in the List and Table Options group. Formerly, the Table
Titles Announce option was only available in the Adjust JAWS Options dialog
box (INSERT plus V).
* JAWS no longer says Frame zero, blank update, or any other frame chatter
when you open an RSS feed (CTRL plus J) in Internet Explorer.
* JAWS 9.0 now detects hidden headings on Web pages. Hidden headings are
useful when using a screen reader to navigate a Web page. This
functionality was previously available in JAWS 7.10 and earlier.
* When you select a same page link on a Web page, braille now shows the
correct heading information.
* JAWS now speaks and shows in braille the name of buttons and the
associated alt text on Web pages.
Microsoft Office
* JAWS now announces all static text that appears in dialog boxes for
various Microsoft Office 2007 applications. Previously, it was necessary to
press INSERT plus B to read items in dialog boxes.
* When navigating through the ribbon groups of the ribbon toolbar, JAWS
now announces the name of the ribbon group.
Microsoft Outlook
* Calendar support, which was previously only in Outlook 2007, is now
available in Outlook 2003.
* JAWS now announces all appointments when tabbing through the Outlook
2003 Calendar.
* JAWS now operates correctly if you delete an Outlook Express or Windows
Mail message while JAWS is reading using the Say All command (INSERT plus UP
ARROW).
* The INSERT plus A keystroke now correctly reports if an e-mail message
has an attachment. If there is an attachment, JAWS moves focus to the
attachment list.
* When configured for Laptop keystroke layout, both the INSERT plus
WINDOWS Key plus R and the CAPS LOCK plus WINDOWS Key plus R keystrokes now
move focus to an open Reminder window for an Outlook calendar item, task, or
e-mail message.
* When exiting the Virtual Viewer when in a Calendar appointment, JAWS no
longer double speaks or announces incorrect information.
* When creating an appointment in Outlook, JAWS no longer speaks incorrect
information as you type in the Subject and Location edit boxes.
* JAWS now says the word appointment as you as you press the UP or DOWN
ARROWS keys to move through an Outlook appointment that spans multiple time
slots.
* When using the LEFT or RIGHT ARROW keys to navigate through Day view
appointments in the Outlook Calendar, JAWS now only announces the day, date,
and number of appointments for that day.
* JAWS no longer looses focus when reading a message list in Outlook 2007
using braille.
* When navigating by line or word in the Out of Office Assistant dialog
box, JAWS now announces text that has been entered in the edit boxes.
Previously, this was a problem when creating an out of office message.
* JAWS no longer shows miscellaneous characters on a braille display after
you empty an Outlook 2007 mailbox.
* When creating a note in Outlook 2007, the UP and DOWN ARROW keys now
read prior and next lines.
* The UP and DOWN ARROW keys will read the subject line text if focus is
in the Subject edit box when you press these ARROW keys.
* Screen-sensitive help for the Adjust JAWS Options dialog box has been
corrected regarding appointment scheduling.
* When information is copied to the clipboard, and you press INSERT plus
SHIFT plus CTRL plus R to reply to the sender of an e-mail message, JAWS no
longer attempts to overwrite the clipboard contents.
Microsoft Word
* When Navigational Quick Keys are enabled in Microsoft Word, and you are
changing options in the Adjust JAWS Options dialog box, JAWS now honors the
TAB, SPACEBAR, and ENTER keys for navigating, changing, and saving options.
* When a dialog box that contains a list is opened in Word, and
Navigational Quick Keys are enabled, ENTER now selects items in the list,
and TAB now lets you move through the list.
* The setting for the Say All Reads By option can now be changed by
pressing SPACEBAR to toggle through the various settings. This option is
located in the Say All Options group in the Adjust JAWS Options dialog box
for Word.
* When you reach the last cell in a Word table, JAWS now announces after
the cell content, that if you press TAB, another row will be added to the
table.
* If your focus is on a blank line between paragraphs in a Word document,
JAWS no longer repeats the first sentence of the next paragraph twice when
you perform the Say All command (INSERT plus DOWN ARROW).
* The B keystroke (Move to Next Bookmark), the SHIFT plus B keystroke
(Move to Previous Bookmark), and the INSERT plus ALT plus B keystroke (List
Bookmarks) are now in the JAWS Help file.
* The Announce Revision command now appears in the Virtual Viewer when you
press INSERT plus H for Hot key Help in Word.
* Resolved an issue reported where JAWS would skip items while you are
navigating through dialog boxes when Navigational Quick Keys are enabled in
Word.
* Resolved an issue reported by a public beta tester where JAWS would
repeat the last line of a Word document twice.
* JAWS correctly reads row and column information in Word tables when you
navigate up through a table.
* JAWS correctly announces table numbers when you enter a table in Word
documents.
* When entering a table from below, CTRL plus UP ARROW places you in the
last cell of the table, and INSERT plus C reports the correct row and column
number. If you continue to press CTRL plus UP ARROW, JAWS will continue to
move up the table and will only land on cells that contain data.
* When reading a Word document using the Say All command, JAWS no longer
reads the last line of the document twice.
* JAWS now announces row and column information after announcing cell
contents when you navigate to and enter a Word table.
* When the Unit of Measure feature in Word is configured for spaces, JAWS
now announces the tab stop position as you press TAB.
Mozilla Firefox
* When navigating or deleting text in edit fields of a Web page form,
JAWS, while in Forms mode, now announces characters instead of saying blank.
Nero
* JAWS now works correctly when burning files to a CD using Neroch.
Burning ROM 7.10.
Windows Explorer
* Screen-sensitive help is now available when JAWS announces three-state
button on the General page of a folder's Property dialog box.
Windows Vista
* JAWS now announces the labels for the Power Settings slider controls
when using a Windows Vista Dell laptop computer. The controls are Adjust
Monitor Brightness, on battery and Adjust Monitor Brightness, plugged in.
Cheers,
Joseph
