Hey, folks. Tony, your mention of Office 2003 put me in mind of a possible incorrect set file setting. I opened the WE control panel and looked at the cursor keys for Word2003.set and discovered that while control-left arrow was correctly set to word enhanced, control- right arrow was set to word. The way Microsoft Word works, as I'm sure you know, is that when you control arrow through a sentence and the cursor encounters a word with a punctuation mark, the cursor will first stop at the first character of the word, then at the punctuation mark, then it will move on word by word until it encounters other punctuation marks. Word enhanced is a WE cursor keys setting that prevents Window-Eyes from repeatedly reading words that are smack up against punctuation marks as you control arrow first to the word, then to the punctuation mark. With control- right arrow set to Word, I would expect Window-Eyes to keep repeating the word until you get past the adjoining punctuation mark.

People Hi Chip, Maybe that's why GW cant reproduce the problem either they missed the part where I said "replying" to a message. I've also noticed this proble in Office word 2003. when you use the arrow keys or ctrl arrow it will sometimes repeate the same word 2 or 3 times before going to the next word. Problem is is that you can't tell where your cursor actually ends up. When replying to an email most of the time up/down arrow or right/left arrow will get no response from win eyes at all.

People Hi Tony, I have Vista, and even though I'm an outlook email user, I went ahead and setup Windows Live Mail to try it out. Could you be talking about the web-based version, or some other version of WLM? I didn't have any problems read my email, or seeing what I had typed when I wrote a test email. If it's any help, you do have to have the window maximized to read everything, and there is an app for Windows Live Mail (written by GW), which if you're not using it, perhaps it would help. I was going to see if a little scripting could help you out, but I see GW has already done that. Sorry I can't duplicate your issues; perhaps that's the problem GW is also having?

People Good morning to all, If when a real question is ask we got as fervent responses as we do when someone joins that we don't like or have had problems with in the past. Most of our access problems could be addressed in a short time. If this guy is going to be a problem it will show very soon. As for me I want to know why Win eyes is still not working well with WLM. After a full year I am still not able to read what I have written when replying to a message. WHY? I've sent screen shots done the Win eyes diagnostics and still haven't gotten an answer to my problem. I don't know what email program GW is using but since Windows is the OS doesn't it make sense to support the Microsoft email program completely?
