As George stated, the information is from JAWS 9, but is also applicable and valid for JAWS 10. It was introduced during the JAWS 9 release cycle, which is why it is there.

George B., I understand what this says. But this text isn't where you describe it in the Jaws 10 help menu under what's new in jaws 10. thanks very much for your generous assistance. But if someone who is running jaws 10 and is familiar with where this topic is shown in the Jaws 10 help will tell me where to look, I'll appreciate that very much. Even though I appreciate your copying the below information from somewhere, this doesn't come from the help menus and topics in my version of jaws, and it's important to me to know how to find something like this. Thanks again. ----- Original Message ----- From: "George B" <gbmagoo@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, April 18, 2009 8:13 PM Subject: RE: information bubbles and jaws? I am sorry it is in whats new in jaws 9 which also works in jaws 10. Below is the text from the help whats new jaws 9 Performing an Action Stated in a Balloon ToolTip A system tray balloon ToolTip is a way for applications to inform you that an event has occurred or an action is required. Often these ToolTips state that you need to "click here" to perform a certain task, such as downloading updates for Windows. With JAWS 9.0, when such a message appears, you can now press the JAWS left mouse button (NUM PAD SLASH) to immediately act on the message before the ToolTip closes. In JAWS 8.0 and earlier, to select a balloon ToolTip, you had to enable the JAWS cursor and navigate to the ToolTip. Often the message would close before you could find it. As you can see, it is much more efficient to use the JAWS left mouse button. Note: The INSERT+TAB keystroke speaks the current control, its ToolTip, and tutor message. If you wait to act on a balloon ToolTip message, you can press INSERT+TAB to hear if it is still open and available. If it is, press NUM PAD SLASH to select the ToolTip. If you do not hear the ToolTip, then the message has closed. At this point, you can press INSERT+F11 to see if the application that caused the balloon ToolTip to appear is available in the system tray.

At some point during the lifecycle of I believe JAWS 8 or 9, you were able to have the message repeated to you by using the insert+tab or jawskeyplus tab combination after it popped up. The problem is, it doesn't stayupfor long, so JAWS doesn't have time to read it a second time. That's a minor flaw with Windows itself, and not something FS can correct in afutureupdate of JAWS.

I'm aware of the left click ability. It is useful, but I for example, wouldn't wat to just left click on something if I didn't hear what it was exactly that Jaws said to begin with.
