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

[Joel Deutsch]

Steve,

Where on earth did you find this list of fixes specific to this update? As I 
said, the page on the FS site that provides info on updates to Version 10 
lumps together all modifications made to the version since its initial Beta 
release. But I take it these are just to do with the brand new changes. 
Personally, the only ones that I recognize as being of interest to me are 
something about what Jaws reads as you select something, I forget exactly in 
what environment but it sounds like a helpful little change, plus that bit 
about saying "edit" when you tab into the message area of an OE 6 email 
you're composing. I just kind of got used to it saying nothing lately as if 
it's just one Jaws eccentricity among many.

Anyway, thanks very much. It doesn't matter that you don't use Jaws, 
yourself. This is just information, don't you think? Thanks again.
Joel

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 FrameworkT 
solutions
software.
