I am in agreement with you, but I need concrete information to build my
case.  Given that my users are having such varied experiences, I'm hoping
that someone can point me in the direction of a known and consistent problem
that I can replicate, and then use as supporting evidence.

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

Subject: [JAWS-Users] JAWS14 Use with Windows8.1

Are there any known issues with using JAWS14 with Windows 8.1?
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?

 

Thanks,

Annette
