Jennifer,

There is no method for toggiling between two versions of JAWS. You need to use the Insert + F4 key-combo to unload the version you are currently using and then use a hot-key to launch the other version of JAWS.

To create a hot-key for each of your versions of JAWS, do the following:
1. Control + Escape to bring up the Windows Start menu.
2. arrow down to one of the JFW groups and open it.
3. Put focus on the shortcut for JFW and press the applications key (3rd key to the right end of the spacebar).
4. Choose "properties" from the context menu.
5. Tab until you land on the hot-key input field and give it a single letter. (For my JFW version 7 I use the letter J)
6. Tab to the okay and press the spacebar, and you're done with creating a hot-key for that version of JFW.
7. Repeat steps 1 through 6 on the other version of JFW, but make sure you give it a different letter!


Now when you unload one version of JFW, you can quickly start the other version by pressing the Control + Alt + letter combination.
