Can you tell me what version of Outlook and word you are using?  Last time I
upgraded I had too many problems and don't want to repeat the same.
thanks
Barbara

HI all,

Just upgraded myself, and so far, no problems with outlook and/or Word.  In
fact, so far, I like the update.  My only problem was having two copies of
the start-up wizard speaking to me, but upon successfully getting through
that (don't ask me how I did it) and rebooting, I was fine.



Have a blessed day,

Nicki

It seems some users aren't experiencing many, or any, inconveniences with
this release, but over the couple of days I've had it installed, I'm
discovering quite an inventory of problems, which I'm compiling a list of so

that I can report as much as possible to FS at the same time. Here are some
examples, and I'd be curious to know if anyone else is having the same
issues.

IE 7 select all (control A)on a Web page for copying to clipboard doesn't
work right, and if I don't play games like pressing Control C twice instead
of once (learned by experimenting), then trying to paste into an open Word
document crashes Word.

In edit fields like the Save As dialogue in Word and the hotkey assignment
in properties for a program icon, Jaws doesn't echo typing or speak when I
use Say Line. Oddly, it does speak the autocomplete as it fills in the path
and filename edit field in Save As, which of course gets ahead of what I'm
trying to do, but it won't allow me to read what has been auto filled in and

edit it. Nor to edit what I type in myself after selecting and deleting that

stuff. Useless.

When beginning to type a message in the message area of a new Outlook
Express message, Jaws speaks whatever it accidentally is focused on, which
is sometimes the From line of the headers, sometimes the To line, and so
forth. Very quirky, although more annoying than disabling, unlike the above
examples.

And here's some unwelcome news to share. Scripts for AdAware and Spyware
Blaster aren't working at all. I've explored both with the Jaws cursor, but
can't make much sense of either, and that's okay. I've exited this version
and launched Jaws 8 so I can get things done today. Now to alt tab around
the task bar and see if Lavasoft finally finished downloading the latest
AdAware update. Now and then the update downloads as quickly as it always
has, but more often, it creeps along or just sticks for minutes at a time.
No, I'm not having download issues otherwise. It's Lavasoft, not me.

Okay, that's it so far. Going to write to FS and pretend to myself I'm
taking part in the public Beta testing. After the final release. Whatever...
