1. press enter to turn Browse mode off.
2. Press alt-down to expand the combo box.
3. Up/Down arrow to your heart's content.
Many thanks.

Okay. Raul. Have a question? Do you hit enter on the combo box then do alt
down arrow, or just do alt down arrow? Maybe my brain is fried but I wasn't
real clear on that. Thanks.

Subject: Re: we 7.01 and IE 7 moving through combo boxes
Hello. Just so everyone is clear, the alt-down arrow trick to expand combo
boxes is not a Window-Eyes trick. This is something which happens whether WE is
running or not. On most combo boxes these days, simply choosing the first
clicked on choice of the box, instantly refreshes the page with the choice. If
you need to see the rest of them unfortunately with speech or Braille, this is
not very convenient. So using alt-down arrow opens the combo box without
changing the focus of the selected item, allowing you to hear or feel what the
choice is.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
Entering on a combobox and pressing alt-down arrow will open de box
and arrows will work fine then.
But since Window-Eyes 7.01 I have to do this trick on more comboboxes
in Internet explorer 7 than in WE6.1.
Someone suggested the items combobox on http://www.ebay.com In this
combobox I don't have to use alt-down arrow.
Here does Window-Eyes 7.01 have more problems with IE7 than WE6.1.
Sometimes I cannot go out of browsemode when on a editbox. Enter will
not work and ctrl-shift-a also not.. The hotkey for browsemode on my
brailledisplay is also not working in these cases.
Re-installing the IE setfile will not allways work. Reloading
Window-Eyes mostly helps. Browsemode will not allways load. Sometimes
it will activate browse-mode after I did some presses of the tab-key.
It is not allways and cannot re-produce these problems, but hope, that
a next version will solve these problems. GWmicro was planning to
redesign the browse-mode, so I hope, it will be better than it is performing
now.
Regards, Marten

*Subject:* we 7.01 and IE 7 moving through combo boxes
Hello all,
I have been experiencing a problem when using win-eyes 7.01 and combo
boxes in ie 7.
While arrowing through the choices in a combo box WE does not speak
the items I have to hit shift tab and then tab myself back in the
combo box to find out the current selection. Was just wondering if
anyone else is experiencing this same problem and what can be done for it?
Thanks
Dave
