Re: [JAWS-Users] terminology
A split button is just a button with more than one option at a time; to get to any of the options, you simply have to press the right arrow and you would hear other nested items. You can decide to just activate the main menu item without expanding the split button by pressing the return key. Sure, Windows 7 changed the layout of some of its windows, especially with the Folder Selection control. Instead of Folder View, List View, other buttons you hear have to do with your preferences in arrangement of these itmes. Some folks prefer to have documents listed alphabetically, from a certain range to a certain range without necessarily showing all the documents in the folder. So, for instance, if you know that you wish to open an |Excel document that starts with D, you have to pick from the displayed command buttons to let the arrangement be from A to H, etc. However, you can turn this off if you feel that this distracts you. As for me, to quickly get to a list of documents, I just use the Shift+Tab instead: I only skip this set of command options and get to the list. While here, you can continue to browse as in the classic XP style. Hope this helps a little.

Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS doesn't readdocument pagenumbersinadobereader 9
Can the old version 7 read ePub books? Some of Adobe's comments regarding the inaccessibility of Adobe Editions, which is used to read ePub books, implies this capability used to be in Reader.

Re: [JAWS-Users] terminology
Hi, While on the subject of terminology in windows7, can anybody recommend where one can learn the differences between XP and windows7? I sometime find it confusing using windows7 after using XP for 6 years and I am hoping that a clear comparison between the two operating systems will make it easier to get acclimated and become accustomed to it. Is there such a comparison out there?

You can decide to just activate the main menu item without expanding the split button by pressing the return key. Sure, Windows 7 changed the layout of some of its windows, especially with the Folder Selection control.

It all depends on what software you have, if any, that won't run on Win 7 but does on Xp. If you have a lot of older software that hasn't been updated, then it might be worth it; if you are set on getting a Win 7 machine. Otherwise, its probably not.

Punctuation is set to some. When there is a line of repeated characters, it announces three like it is supposed to. Only get no speech of the *** in password fields.

Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS doesn't read documentpagenumbersinadobereader 9
Hi, I think many of you, who have this problem, should report it to adobe. They have to fix it, because it's not legitim that we have to convert documents just because regressions on adobe reader software. If you search in google for report adobe reader problem you'll find a form to this purpose. They have to understand that it's not one or two persons that have the same problem.

Not nearly as convenient!

Whichever version of JAWS I use, I'm not able to find a consistent way to read the current page number and the total number of pages of a document opened in adobe reader 9.2. In adobe reader 7.10, I could get this information from adobe reader's status bar (page 10/1000, for example). Is there any way to accomplish this task with a minimal key sequence using adobe reader 9 and JAWS? I've reported a bug against adobe reader some weeks ago, but didn't have any answer until now.
