Hi Daniel,
I think I have an answer that may work for you. The Save As dialog under Windows 7 looks quite different than it did under XP, but you already know that. The Save In combo box with its access key alt+i isn't there anymore. That used to really give me fits. The same is true for the Open dialog in Word 2007, for example, where you used to have a "look in" combo box. .
What complicates things a bit is that Microsoft wants you to buy into the concept of libraries in Vista or Windows 7, so the old hierarchical folder tree structure isn't supposed to apply anymore. Bosh, BOSH I say! For us old-school guys, it still does. So here's the deal.
When you get into the Save As dialog, forget about alt+i; it just ain't gonna get you anywhere. When you open this dialog, you'll still land in the filename field just like you always did. Now, what you want to do is to begin to press shift+tab, and you may need to do it several times. , While you do, listen carefully because eventually you'll land on what passes for an explorer-style tree view, with your libraries on top. JAWS WILL NOT IDENTIFY THE TREE VIEW, so when you hear it say "documents", which is the library in which your file would be saved by default, arrow down until you get to the Computer branch that contains your drives. Expand the branch with a right arrow, then arrow down to the drive you want and press Enter. Now, you'll tab back to the list of folders which is adjacent to the filename field. Select the folder you want and press Enter. Then tab over to your Save button and press space or Enter.
That's a rather simplistic view of things, but it should do the trick for you. Hopefully I've gotten this right, as I'm not at my Windows 7 machine; I'm still on my old XP box at the moment. 

Hope this helps.

Tom

Daniel,

Then that Open File dialog or interface is part of Windows 7 and I do not
have that operating system. I can't help you further.

David:

Thank you.
My problem is to choose the desired destined folder.
In the past, I press alt I, then, I can arrow up to my document, and arrow
to the desired folder before saving it.
Now, I am not given the option.

Thank you again.

Daniel

It won't matter which you are using. It still works the same as always.
Press Alt+f to open the Office menu, then arrow down to the save as split
button. Press the spacebar to open the sub-items. Arrow down to attachments.
Of course the message you have open needs to have an attachment before that 
choice is available.

I'm adding the jfw list to this post to bring them in on our conversation.
Having many minds at work might have resulted in a faster resolution.

No. I am not sure. Please provide instruction of how to use it.
Thanks.

David:



I have JAWS 12 and Windows 7. I want to save the attachment /
attachments from an e-mail to a specific folder on my document.

But I am not given an option to choose the desired folder /
location.



I used to do the following:

Once I press alt F and arrow down to save as split button, I was
allowed to press

Alt I to open a dialog, then arrow to my document and arrow to
the desired folder to save the attachment.

But now, I am not given the option to do so.



I am just new to Windows 7 and have not learned its
functionality. Please advise.

Thank you in advance.





Daniel
