While in Internet Explorer, press ALT + H , followed by the letter A. This will open the "About" Internet Explorer screen. Now, press the Jaws keystroke insert + B, and Jaws will read the information to you. Tab to the okay button and spacebar it when you are done.

The download dialogue is much different.

After hitting ALT+n, you should hear something like, "Open." Tab once and it should say something like "Save." You can Down Arrow twice to "File Save As." Now, press Home to go to the beginning of the file name and you can enter the path to the folder where you want it saved. OR, once on "File Save As" and without any other keystrokes first, you can go a step further and rename the file in the process. Such an entry could look like "c:\my documents\call of the wild" without the quotes.\ HTH and good luck.

I'll set up a folder on my desktop, would rather have it in "my documents", but will try your suggestion.. why would my pc change from simply going through the download steps, to all of these new steps? -----Original Message----- From: Pauline Sent: Thursday, May 16, 2013 10:09 AM To: blind-computing@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] can't download bard books Usually downloaded books will default to a download file. If you are using Windows 7, use your windows key and put in the word download in the edit box. You should find your books in the download file that shows up.

Listen closely for a soft tone, but even if you don't hear it hit alt + the letter N to access the information bar. From there it should be self evident what you are to do.

After entering, to acknowledge your desire to download, you nedd to tab, twice more, to where it will ask in which folder you wish to download to. If this matter is decided, all you need do is hit enter, and your book is on it's way.
