Good idea. I hadn't thought of using Narrator with JAWS unloaded.

Report: Still doing it even with JAWS unloaded. I'm going to see if my IT guy 
has any ideas. Nice to have them around.

  Dave,
  an easier solution to insure you're not dealing with a jaws issue, and before 
you waste time running repairs and uninstalls of jaws,  which I suspect it 
isn't since shift tab is a windows keystroke, is to use narrator or satogo, an 
unload jaws and perform the same keystroke, if you get the same behavior, then 
your problem can be isolated to a change made in outlook. Subsequently, if the 
behavior responds as normal, and a tab character is not inputted, then perhaps 
a repair on jaws or a reinstall would then be in order.

  Hi, Farfar.  I understand that the problem did not start after an upgrade.  
Even so, I might suggest that you do a jaws repair.  Something may have become 
corrupted since you did your last upgrade.

    George,

    No, this did not start happening after a JAWS upgrade. I upgraded a few 
weeks ago to the 11.0.1461 build and have not changed it at all.

    BTW I'm Dave, not Barbara.

    "Farfar" is a Swedish alliteration that means father's father, so in fact, 
I'm a new grandfather.

      Barbra,

       

      Did you upgrade through the check for upgrade or did you download the 
entire new version from the f s web site?  If you upgraded through the look for 
upgrade from the help menu.  You need to go and download the latest version of 
jaws from f s and install it this way.  there are some issues with upgrading 
from the help menu from jaws on your p c.

      JAWS 11.0.1461

      XP Pro

      MS Outlook 2007

       

      This happened without any known change to my system. In other words, it 
did not start happening with any particular version of JAWS. It started just 
two days ago, and I'm hoping someone else has seen it and knows how to resolve.

       

      In a message that I'm composing, I used to be able to press shift+tab to 
jump back up to the subject, and then on to the header fields. 

       

      No longer the case. Now shift+tab enters a tab character in the message 
body.

       

      Happens in plain text, or html. 

       

      Continues to happen after a reboot. Can't find anything in the JAWS 
options or configuration that might be affecting this.

       

      Dave
