Ah, Chris. I see. It's Shift then press F1 twice, not once. And it's to be
used within menus and such, just as some programs have their own
context-sensitive F1 command to use in the same situation.
You know, if I recall correctly, you used to be able to press just F1 while
in a menu of Configuration Manager settings, and get such an explanation.
But that seems a while ago, and now doing the same thing affords you only
the relative convenience of being taken directly to the topic in Jaws help
that pertains to where you are when you press it, and then you've got to
study whatever there is under that topic and then close help and return to
the menu. I liked it better when you'd get a screen tip without all that.
Well, it's all helpful. But I'm especially happy to learn the Shift F! F1
command from you, as I know I'll have occasion to see if it may help now and
then. But then, what is Shift F1, with the F1 pressed only once? That's
what I could swear I saw being mentioned in the post I first replied to. As
opposed to Shift F1 twice.
thanks.

You use the keystroke when in the application properties/methods. IE if you
go into say Tools, Options and on when on a particular control, shift f1 f1
will give you context sensitive help. It's a Windows feature rather than
Jaws and is really useful if you want to find out what a control is used
for, presupposing the developers have included context sensitive help
Cheers

Thanks, Chris, but no wonder I couldn't understand. I'm using Outlook
Express and Jaws V. 7.0 under Windows XP Home. If I press Shift F1 while in
Outlook express, either with your message open or with it closed, the key
combination does nothing whatsoever, except that Jaws says "Shift F1" to
reflect the key press. Also, if I press Insert W, what I hear,as happens in
every context when I press Insert W, is: "Following are useful Windows
keyboard commands, followed by a litany of same.
This is all that these two keystrokes do for me, no matter what application
I'm in when I press them. I do wish I knew if that matters, or if there's
something I ought to change in order to enjoy the benefit of these
functions.
Thanks.

It's quite simple really, the initial thread was to do with getting Outlook
to auto complete Email addresses and I suggested that shift f1 be used to
check the Outlook screen tips for some controls within the interface. The
lady who made the initial post could not get this to work on her machine, so
someone suggested I really meant Insert f1 and I pointed that personn to the
1st item in the list under Insert w for Outlook.
I believe the issue is now resolved

I confess that I haven't followed this thread from the beginning, and maybe
that's why I don't understand something about this first post in the thread
that I've opened, out of curiosity. what is it that someone's looking for?
I'm not sure what you're talking about. Insert W, so far as I knowtell,
brings up the same thing no matter which application you're in. It's a list
of universal Windows keystrokes. The first one mentioned, if I understand
your message below, is the press of the Alt key, which this list tells you
is the key that will take you to the menu line of a Windows application.
This isn't something most of us need to be told, nor anything at all unique
to Outlook or Outlook Express. Am I misunderstanding what's being
discussed? If there's something new to learn, I'd like to learn it, but
this comment isn't clear to me.
Thanks.

Hi Ryan,
I have made sure that both boxes are checked but, I still get
nothing. I do not understand it at all!
When I do shift F1 nothing happens.
Should I go back to bed and wake up again?
