Hi. While I can't speak for why Jaws does certain things, I can tell you that the approach that screen readers have with key strokes is no different than two car manufacturers have about the placement of buttons, styles, etc on their cars. Take Toyota and Honda for example. they both make excellent cars, but things work differently in them because each company feels it is doing the better thing. I realize this of course does not help you, but hey, if you want some Window-Eyes help, GW Micro's technical support is legendary and there is a real cool guy who works for them and he's always willing to help out a fellow Window-Eyes user. He hasn't been with the company long, but he's used Vocal-Eyes since version 2 and Window-Eyes since version 1 so he knows what he's talking about when it comes to Window-Eyes. One thing I can guarantee if you call GW Micro is that you won't be treated like you are dumb, nor will you be treated any differently just because you also use Jaws.
Now, to stop breaking my own rules, I'll not write any more on this topic, so if you have any questions about this, write privately. ari said the following on 12/18/2007 1:37 AM: > One thing I can't stand about this whole screenreader thing is doing the > change.
