Hi dear Beth and all,
Yes, I'd heard that Textbridge 9 was working with JAWS, but for some the
upgrade isn't an answer at present.
Incidentally, I took this up on behalf of others, not myself, because I
don't have Textbridge, but I took it up before my husband got his work
copy. When he did, surprise surprise, it was about the only one I knew
which didn't crash! As others were still having a problem, I left this for
HJ to sort. The fact is that HJ had this as a bug report and, so far as I
am aware from their messages to me, it's still open and I haven't heard
anything new from them.
Well, you can't win them all! <BG>
