Actually I'm working with jaws 7.1 and not jaws 8. Thank you for the kind words, no hurt feelings. Judith ----- Original Message ----- From: "Yardbird" <yardbird@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

It's not even something for which you have to put aside time and learn how
to use the Help function, which is really, really simple and easy, and
interesting as well. No, not even that. It's fright there in stuff it's hard to miss on the FS site trumpeting with great enthusiasm and pride what's new 
in Jaws 8. It's like, impossible to miss, unless no one has ever mentioned
that there's a jaws section on the FS site and that they have all these
announcements and all sorts of info there. It's just a click away, no hassle at all. The most easily Jaws-navigable Web site in the whole world. Please, not trying to be mean. Just saying these things are discoverable without it being by accident. And, to hopefully preclude the flames, let me add that I think it was lovely and generous of you to mention it in case others didn't 
know, either! Honest! I'm just saying.. Okay, you see.

You are right, I didn't read the help menu and many don't. Just thought it 
was a point worth sharing.  Judith

Judith,
I understood. I'm just saying, why should this be a discovery in this way
when, if you just go look at information that's provided, which I went and read long before I even installed Jaws 8, you know about it? I'm trying to 
point out the value of not reinventing the wheel for every ordinary
function
that Jaws provides, when most of it is there to be learned without a great deal of effort at all. But each to his or her own, I'll say, before anyone 
starts the flaming. I just think it seems as if a lot of Jaws users never
make much of an attempt to learn much about how Jaws can be used, and rely 
on chatting here to tell each other things that sometimes surprise me no
one
seems to know is just ordinary information.

Oh, well. I'm sure that's not a diplomatic-enough way to encourage
everyone
to go check out Surf's Up, or What's New in Jaws 8, and so forth. If peer
counseling is the preferred method to learn everything, including most
basics, okay, fine, but it's not necessary sometimes.

It was just an observation that I discovered this morning.  Using the
example that I sent in the earlier Email it simply stated that if you
looked
for three things (for example) they would all be there when you hit alt f
the fourth time and you could arrow up and down in your other finds and if 
one of those items is the one you wanted to search for you could just
press
enter on it without entering anything else in the dialogue box.

More appropriate subject line.  What does the clipboard have to do with
the
multiple choices of most find dialog boxes.

Subject: observation about clip board

I'm not re-opening a very long thread but wanted to share some
innformation
that I discovered about the clipboard.  Let's say that two finds ago you
were looking for the name "Susan".  After that you were looking for the
word
"cat" and right after that you were searching for the phrase "Went to the 
store".  On your next search you can arrow up and down to find the word
"Susan" and, if this is what you want to search for, you can press enter
and
will land on that name.  Judith
