There are 7 forms.
The address of the current page is http://www.msn.com/?ocid=iehp&pc=EUPP_
This is an HTML or PDF document.
You can use the standard JAWS reading commands or Navigation Quick Keys to
navigate and read this document. JAWS can also
display lists of certain elements on this page. For example, you can press

that
type on the page.
By default, Auto Forms Mode is on. This means that when you navigate to an
edit field, JAWS automatically turns on Forms Mode so that you can
immediately
type text in the edit field. Forms Mode will turn off when you exit the
edit field.

If a Web page supports a Web feed, JAWS will announce, "RSS Feeds

and
receive updated content. This content can consist of headlines, articles,
podcasts, summaries, and so on. Internet Explorer 7 or later constantly

**Again all your feedback is welcome, on all these short lessons at all
times.
*My purpose for developing all of this free material for the Blind
computer user is to help teach and assist a Blind person to use w-10 with
a Screen reader like Jaws.
*My hope is that the Blind computer user will grow in confidence, in their
ability, to use, and to navigate the w-10 computer system, using just
Jaws.
*We also have group members, to can help teach about using NVDA, on a W-10
computer as well.
*This is one of many tutorials, I hope to produce, for the Blind
community, to help teach all of them, how to use a W-10 computer using
Jaws.
*My hope is , That over time, they would learn how to do, and complete,
various computer tasks in W-10, all by themselves.
*The W-10 and Jaws yahoo group is a freely provided ministry of The River
Yahoo group.
*I freely offer the W-10 and Jaws group, and all of its materials, as a
free and voluntary work of love, to reach out and teach all the blind
computer users all over the world, how to learn how to use a W-10 computer
using Jaws.
