Hi john.
I can answer the last question, which may in turn answer your other
questions.
If you go to the help pull down with alt-h, you will see an option
called show advanced options, something like that. This is most likely
checked. So press enter, and the new user interface will be simplified.
For example, you won't have to deal with those toggle scope buttons, and
the categories and settings within them will be fewer than they are in
the advanced mode.
Hope this helps.
Take care.

I have a couple of comments on 7.5. these are based on limited use and
some attempts to find information in the manual; I haven't gone through
the entire manual or tutorial yet.
1. I do like the fact that one can set all voice and other parameters
from one menu rather than having to go in and out of menus each time you
change a parameter. Nice innovation, Gw Micro!
2. However, I do not like the new interface. first, windoweyes is far
too verbose when alt-tabbing to it from other programs. I don't want or
need to hear menu choices, and I find it annoying that I end up on the
last menu choice I made, whether I'm in minimize or in some other part
of the Interface. One thing I like about JAWS is that it says "JAWS when
you tab to it.
If there's a way to just make windoweyes say "windoweyes" when
alt-tabbing to it, or just the associated setfile, as it did before, I'd
like to here it. I think this needs to be improved for the next release.
3. I find the new interface hard to navigate; some of the categories
aren't obvious. Part of this is my unfamiliarity with the new interface.
for me, the new interface isn't better, on the whole; it's just
different, requiring a learning curve that, at my advanding age (smile)
I'm less and less willing to engage in.
4. I haven't figured out how to actually change voices. I can find voice
rotor, and how to add or delete a voice, but I haven't found where to
actually switch voices. It was not obvious from where I looked in the
manual.
5. I would never have thought to look for the Voice rotor in the Apps
menu. I think this menu needs to be renamed, or another menu needs to be
created. I found voice rotor only by stumbling across it, so to speak.
I'm finding the menus less intuitive.
6. As I'm tabbing through the menus, I keep hearing "xxxx toggle scope,
button", then another tab brings me to where I can set or change the
parameter. Again, this is probably due to my lack of familiarity and not
fully reading the manual, but I don't' understand the purpose of the
"scope toggle buttons" . I'm finding it confusing and a pain to tab
through to get to the actual parameter I want to change.
there may be a quite logical reason for this added thing; I just haven't
found it.
I hope Gw Micro will be working with Mozilla to come out with an update
which fixes Firefox 4's problems.
Thanks for all of your hard work, Gw Micro;p I hope these comments are
helpful.
