What proof reading capabilities? I too have recently upgraded to jaws 7 from 
4. I'm sure that I have just stuck to my little corner of jaws over the past 
years.
Time to expand my jaws knowledge.
Thanks,
Cathie

I don't know, I thought there might be some hidden function in Jaws, or if
not hidden unknown to me anyway, that I could use.  For example I've been a
Jaws user for over 10 years now and just recently found out about the proof
reading capabilities of Jaws.  Of course those may have been, and probably
were put in after Jaws 3.2 which is the first version that I had.

How are you proposing JAWS could handle this differently?
