Unfortunately, employers are going to have to keep moving up with JAWS versions if they are going to upgrade equipment.

Unfortunately, JAWS16 has not been approved in my work environment and I've got some JAWS users who have been moved over to Windows8.1 and are experiencing problems. None of them are experiencing the same problems. FS has been contacted in each situation and has told the user and the IT rep that there is no way to resolve the problem other than moving to JAWS16. IT is convinced that because no 2 users are experiencing the exact same problem, that the issues can be resolved and there is no need for JAWS16. Some problems that have been experienced are: . Inability to use Alt plus a number key to read header info in an open Outlook2010 e-mail message . Unable to navigate the Outlook2010 calendar . Unable to read the contents of an Excel2010 cell after using the F2 to enter into Edit mode of that cell . Many problems with using spell checker in MS-Word2010. Are there any known problems like the ones listed above that can be attributed to the use of JAWS14 that can only be resolved by moving to JAWS16? Are there any other issues not listed here that can only be resolved by moving to JAWS16?
