>The following is a list of items that were fixed in this update:
>
>Resolved a longstanding issue related to certain video cards, where 
>text that had scrolled by the mouse pointer may no longer be read by JAWS.
>Fixed an Internet Explorer 7 issue where navigating the drop-down 
>list of certain combo boxes in a Web page using the UP ARROW or DOWN 
>ARROW keys, JAWS would not always read the selected item.
>Fixed the Typing Echo function, which would not work in an Adobe 
>Reader form opened using Internet Explorer 7.
>JAWS now supports multiple user desktops, which solves an issue for 
>the Cisco Secure Desktop application.
>Fixed the issue where switching between Eloquence and SAPI 4 
>synthesizers resulted in a crash.
>Fixed an issue where using the TAB key to move about a Web page, and 
>downloading files from a Web page would cause Internet Explorer to crash.
>JAWS correctly speaks Microsoft Access form buttons.
>In Microsoft Excel, if the text in a worksheet cell wraps to form 
>multiple lines, you can now use the Excel F2 function key and the UP 
>ARROW and DOWN ARROW keys to hear JAWS speak individual lines. In 
>previous releases, JAWS would read the entire cell contents.
>Fixed a problem when selecting text from right to left in NotePad 
>failed if Enhanced Edit was turned on in this application.
>When localizing screen sensitive help messages into French, the 
>following characters are no longer reversed: a and q; w and z.
>Resolved issues regarding the Japanese keyboard layout and the CAPS LOCK key.
>Added a new keystroke, INSERT+WINDOWS+F4, which Support Staff can 
>use with customers to terminate JAWS and all related processes while 
>creating a memory dump file for JAWS at the same time. This will 
>help with further diagnosis in the future if problems arise. The 
>file containing the JAWS version number will be saved to:
>C:\Documents and Settings\[your user name]\ApplicationData\Freedom 
>Scientific\JAWS\7.10\Settings\JAWSMemDmp
