I have to admit though, I really hope they didn't change the interface very much from 2006, as I found that one to be truly accessible. I was given it for a 3 month trial period with my new laptop, and thought it was the cat's meow. It was almost completely accessible, in my opinion, and focus was kept on the window I needed to be on. Granted, you still had to wade through all those damn mouse over links, but once you listen to it enough, you just ignored the whole mouse over link thing, and went on your way, and before anyone comments on how I should have turn that off in the verbosity settings, I didn't use it enough to do that, so let's leave it at that, shall we? LOL. Anyway, If I get a chance to download a trial version of 2007, I'll try it out and let you know what I find.

Re: [JAWS-Users] When a New Jaws User
Hi Rick, I do believe this was sent on list, as that is where the original question came up. I can't rightly say if David has put it up on the web site or not, as I haven't checked. Personally, I'm sure someone else, probably David, can do a better job of writing this stuff. It's not like I made a concerted effort to write up a tutorial, I just wrote it off the cuff for Patti when she asked how to do it for a friend. I can send the original one I sent to the list for David if he wishes.

Re: [JAWS-Users] When a New Jaws User
I love outlook express, because the email is right there when you open it up. On Yahoo you have to arrow down through a lot of stuff to get to your email.

Re: [JAWS-Users] When a New Jaws User
In my opinion it is more efficient to use a pop 3 client such as Outlook Express ETC. Being networked isn't an issue as a rule. JAWS has nothing to do with blocking pop up windows. He can use fire fox if he wishes. Norton is an extreme resource hog and as such may very well interfere with the smooth operation of a system using such a memory intensive an application as JAWS. So far as your last question I have no idea at all. There were a lot of questions here, I hope I've answered them all to your satisfaction.
