I agree with you, Bill. The FS website isn't as simple to navigate as it
ought to be, one reason I appreciated you're going to the trouble of saving
many of us from replicating what you did.

Hi, Adrian. I saw the first post. I've also gone to the Freedom Scientific
site many times. Until recently, I couldn't get the link to work that was
supposed to give the enhancements only for the current release. Once I
figured out that I had to click the link, then sometimes to refresh the
screen, I was OK. But I've had many people tell me that it was difficult to
find this link. Bill White billwhite92701@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Bill,
 
I thought your earlier posting was thoughtful, but this is unfair to Dave.
First, he did tell the lister how to fish: go to the website whose address
we all know by heart to get the answer, which is easy to find there. Perhaps
in this case it might have been wiser not to post at all, but he was doing
exactly what a good teacher often will do. The second point is that Dave has
been one of the most informative contributors to the list for some time.
He's taught a lot of us to fish.

Yeah, Dave, but you didn't teach anyone to fish. You only told them to go
fishing. There's a big difference between the two. Until you learn that,
you'll never teach anyone to fish. Bill White billwhite92701@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Nope. Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him to fish and he
feeds himself for life.

Thank you Bill for going through the trouble of retrieving that information.
Yes, the info is available on FS's site, but why some people find it
necessary to reply to a request simply to say, "go get it yourself", is just
plain rood! Why waste the time if they're not actually going to help? Maybe
that response will be forthcoming when they ask for help. We'll see.

Enhancements in JAWS 11.0.1461 (June 2010) The following is a list of items
addressed or added between the final JAWS 11.0.1447 release and the JAWS
11.0.1461 posting. All enhancements since the initial public beta release
are included in this release.
 
JAWS Resolved an issue where letters were lost when using Typing Mode with a
Focus braille display. Resolved a customer reported issue where JAWS was
announcing large negative values in combo boxes. JAWS no longer duplicates
information that is typed into form edit fields. Resolved issues and
improved performance with the Convert Currency and MLB Scores lookup sources
in Research It. Word and Outlook Addressed an issue reported by The
Lighthouse of Houston related to the spell checker not working as expected
when using a third party add-in with Word. When in a table in a Word
document, the INSERT+TAB keystroke correctly announces the cell content
along with column and row title. The default setting for graphics detection
in all versions of Word and Outlook 2007 or later is set to Labeled by
default. This means that JAWS announces alt text (if available) and image
dimensions. Resolved an issue where tutor messages were spoken before
relevant information when using the ARROW Keys to read the next line or
previous line in an Outlook 2010 e-mail message. This fix also resolves an
issue where tutor messages were spoken with each press of an ARROW Key when
moving through a message folder. JAWS no longer announces an unknown
function call error when Outlook 2003 is configured to request a user name
and password before launching. Lotus Notes Resolved two issues with Lotus
NotesR. JAWS now announces labels for the date and time fields in a calendar
entry. Also, the ALT+DOWN ARROW keystroke now opens the combo box for date
and time fields. Resolved an issue with LotusR SametimeR software where JAWS
was not reading chat history when using the ARROW Keys. The Lotus Notes
topic in the JAWS help file has been updated to include the latest
application functionality and keystrokes.
 
I hope this helps you, Laura.
 
Have a wonderful day! Bill White billwhite92701@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I just happened to check for updates yesterday evening as I try to do it
once a week at least and got the update. I don't know what they updated,
when I went to the website that page had not been updated.

This is true. I stumbled upon it while conducting some Jaws repairs last
night. It is version 11.0.461. I have no idea how well it works or not since
I've only had it going for about six hours and slept through most of that
time, it being morning here it hot sunny old Texas.
 
HOpe I don't find anything broken.
