You mean, JAWSKey with nnumber-row 6 key, to get into the Settings
Center. JAWSKey+F6 is related to HTML elements.

Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Enabling MSAA mode
Hello Don,
Switching between MSAA modes when using JAWS is application-specific.
Start
in the application where you want to use it. Press JAWS key with
function
key 6 to launch the settings center. Type MSAA in the search box and
then
use down arrow key to the second of two items, which deals with the
MSAA
mode. Press spacebar until the enhanced setting is selected. Use the
Apply
button and then the OK button. If you get double echoing of text then
you
might need to adjust the screen echo. Here is some informational text
from
the window where you change MSAA modes:
Use this combo box to select one of the following MSAA modes:
Automatic,
Enhanced, or Classic. Select Automatic to use MSAA when it is
appropriate
for such menus. Normally you do not need to change to the Enhanced
setting.
If you know this application is MSAA enabled, changing this setting to
Enhanced may give better results. This setting in combination with the
Screen Echo setting of highlighted text may provide too much speech
(double
echo). If so, change the Screen Echo setting in the User Options
dialog to
"Echo no Text." Using this setting will not allow Window Class
assignments
to take effect as defined in the Window Classes dialog. Classic is
known as
JAWS Legacy MSAA handling. This setting in combination with the Screen
Echo
setting of highlighted text may provide too much speech (double echo).
If
so, change the Screen Echo setting in the User Options dialog to "Echo
no
Text." Using this setting will not allow Window Class assignments to
take
effect as defined in the Window Classes dialog. This option is only
available for specific applications and cannot be set for "Default/All
Applications".

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Enabling MSAA mode
Hi All,
It has been a very long time since I have tried to do any kind of
scripting
for JAWS, and I have forgotten most of what I knew back then (JAWS 7
days).
I have an application which windig says uses mostly MSAA controls. I
need a
quick and dirty way to get started using this application.
I vaguely remember that there is or was a way to turn MSAA recognition
on
without using scripts, but I just can't remember the keystrokes to do
it.
BTW: I am running jaws 14.0.9002 (no I haven't upgraded to jaws 15 due
to
java instabilities I observed).
Any help/tips would be greatly appreciated.
