Hi,
I am not at the computer to try out your idea.
Through out the day I travel between three different schools and work with
different students.
I will try out the wordpad/notepad thing tomorrow when I return to
the school in question.
However, I don't think I can do a jaws repair seeing as I do not
have administrative rights to do so on their precious little computers.
So with in saying that are there any other routes?

Hmmm. OK, so as you press insert-2 and cycle through the various keyboard
echo options Jaws does read them. Have you tried adjusting this in other
programs, such as wordpad or Notepad? When you open Wordpad or Notepad will
Jaws speak the keys as you type once typing echo is set to keys?
When you press insert-1 to go into keyboard help mode does Jaws also
announce the names of the keys that you type?
If Jaws does not speak the names of the keys in word processing programs I'm
wondering if you might be willing to try doing a repair on JAWS from the
JAWS installation CD. I'm wondering if doing a repair might not get JAWS to
correct whatever mood it's gotten into.

Hi David:
Yes it does read the options and since we were using word at the time, it
wasn't working there.
When my student was trying to rename an ICON it wasn't doing that either.
Thanks.

Hi. Could you answer a few questions for me which may help me to figure
this out.
You say that pressing the JAWS key and 2 doesn't echo characters as it
should.
When you press this key does JAWS read the options correctly, such as
characters, words, none, etc.
If yes, does this problem happen in all programs? Which program were you in
when your student was trying this: Microsoft Word?

Hi,
Wow well this was embarroussing.
I have started working with a new student here at workwith learning jaws.
Here's the problem. He did not like it, that it did not speak the
characters, so I informed him to press the jaws key and the number row 2 and
he will eventually have it set on characters. (I'm paraphrasing of course)
so after having it set on characters, it did not echo characters. I have
checked the verbosity and start up and they are both set on characters. What
should I do?
