[gui-talk] Fwd: JAWS 10.0.1151 update released!

[Steve Pattison]

Hi Joel,

The enhancements in this JAWS update are listed below.  I hope this
helps.  I'm not able to answer any other questions about this update as
I use Window-Eyes and don't have JAWS installed on my computer.  -Steve.

Resolved an issue in Internet Explorer 8 where the JAWS Scripts that control reading
and navigating the address bar with
INSERT+A and INSERT+A
 twice quickly had stopped working. These commands are very useful when you want
URL information without moving your Virtual Cursor from your reading position on
the Web page. These scripts continue to work correctly in Internet Explorer 7 and
Internet Explorer 6.
JAWS correctly reads and speaks the column and field titles in Access 2007 database
tables. For example, when you press
INSERT+TAB
 while focus is in an Access table cell (field), JAWS will now announce all field
information such as the column name, the field contents, and any other associated
tutor message. Previously, the column name information was not mentioned, or it was
necessary to press
ALT+TAB
 to leave and then return to the application in order to hear the complete field
information.
When you use the UP ARROW or DOWN ARROW
 to navigate by line in the Virtual Viewer while in Access 2007, JAWS now speaks
each line. Previously, JAWS would only speak the line of text when you pressed
INSERT+UP ARROW
 to read the current line.
The 64-bit version of JAWS 10 now correctly tracks focus when running Microsoft Windows
7.
When you select text using SHIFT+LEFT ARROW or SHIFT+RIGHT ARROW
, such as in the File name edit field of the Open dialog box, JAWS now announces
each character as it is selected. Previously, JAWS would just say the word “Selected”
without announcing the character.
When composing a new e-mail message using Outlook Express 6, JAWS will now announce
the words “Edit, type in text” when you move into the message body using
TAB or CTRL+GRAVE
. Previously, JAWS would say “Edit, read only.”
When talking in a Freedom Scientific Webinar training session, you can use the ALT+L
 command to lock and unlock the Talk key. This command now functions correctly with
the Webinar conference software plug-in that you must install the first time you
attend a training session.
Resolved several HTML issues when using JAWS with Libera System 7 Framework™ solutions
software.
