I realize that there are some very interesting new features in Jaws 11 but setting them aside, are there any other notable differences in the way these 2 programs handle day to day operations? Before I install Jaws 11, I'd like to know more about it. I have found Jaws 10 to be quite effective

You can only assign a 3 key combination to a hot key. So for JAWS 11, you could assign Alt-Control-J, and for JAWS 10 you could assign Shift-Control-J. But you cannot assign a 4 key combination to a hot key, so you cannot use Shift-Alt-Control-J. Gerald - Original Message -
