Flor.:I think this works; I have done it over and over. However, when I go to i e without closing other windows, it still reels off various menu headings but not the favorites list. THen, it goes to Google, my home page. This is not a major big deal so I am just going to put up with it. And I was not the lister who wrote that subject line without the spacing that annoys David. Anyway, spacing isn't such a major component of the English language that anyone should be insulted by a little mistake. marilyn ----- Original Message ----- From: "Flor Lynch" <florl...@iol.ie> To: <jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com> Sent: Thursday, July 23, 2009 8:57 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] problem with Jawsannouncingfavouriteswhennotmeantto
