Whenever I want to go letter by letter in a file name such as a book title I
just press F2 for Rename. Then I use the arrow and home keys to navigate
through without changing anything. Then I can press Escape to leave without
saving any accidental changes. I can also use the copy feature when in the
rename field.
To read email addresses letter by letter I often copy the address and then
open Notepad or Wordpad with keyboard shortcuts and paste the address there.
Then I can go letter by letter, etc. I can close the document with or
without saving it.
To get an email address when my computer only shows me a name link I choose
forward or reply. Then I look for the addresses in the To field or in the
body of the letter in the case of a forward.
I usually just copy the pertinent addresses and then close the email without
sending it.
I am using Win 7 and Jaws 15 but used these methods with all versions of
Jaws for many years.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] reading individual characters in email addresses
andbook titles
With Jaws 13 on a Win7 computer, I am having the following problem. If I
want to read letter by letter, the author of an NLS book I've downloaded to
my hard drive, I can't do it with the arrow keys. I sometimes want to see
how the author's name is spelled or how something in the title is spelled,
or I want to read just the DB number. But I can't get Jaws to do that. I
also can't get Jaws to read an email address in a header, letter by letter.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Miriam
