Since you said you understood the advice about the addresses, here is an
alternate process that also works to read book titles or any file name
letter by letter.
1. Navigate to the title and Jaws reads it.
2. Press the F2 key
3. Press Control A to select all.
4. Press Control C to Copy the information.
5. Press Escape to close the Renaming box.
6. Paste it into a notepad or other document where you can navigate it with
the arrow keys.

Thanks. I understand the part about addresses. I tried the directions for
book titles, but couldn't do it.
Thanks anyway.

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.

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?
