Sorry this would not be easier. Because you have to have a global settings menu. Then to find out if the option was on you would then have to look at both of the options in said submenu. This way you arrow to it get the state of the option and if you want to change it press enter choose the option you want and press enter again. Sorry don't get what is so hard here. Now these options like so many others in the window-eyes menu system should be radio buttons but that is another story.

Hi, Why don't they just have a pair of menu items that can either be checked or unchecked rather than the confusion on that menu? Wouldn't that be simpler? If both are checked, both are active. If one is checked, it's active and the other isn't. Thanks.

Ok, let's think of it this way: When in the global menu, Window-eyes wants to know Which settings are global? Voice and verbosity means that both voice settings and verbosity settings are global. Voice only means that only the voice settings will be global. Verbosity means that only verbosity will be global. None means that neither voice nor verbosity will be global. Whatever is not global can be changed in individual set files. Hope this helps.

Hi, OK, let me see if I have this down. WE has two kinds of settings that the global menu can turn on and off. They are voice and verbosity. We assumes that you want to change those settings in all set files unless you change something that has to do with those two options on the global menu. If you set it to voice only, and you change verbosity settings, you will be changing verbosity settings for the currently active set file. If you set it to voice only, you will be changing the voice settings for the currently active set file. Is that anywhere close? Thanks.

Look in the global menu in the WE control panel. The default is voice and verbosity. This makes both the voice setting and verbosity settings global. Now if you want to change this for a particular application, with that set file loaded, you can change this to something else for that particular set file. Then you could change some of these settings. Lets say, you change the Internet explorer set file to voice only. Now your set file for IE would still use your global voice settings, but you could change verbosity settings which would only apply to that set file.

Good Morning, I have been using Window-Eyes almost exclusively for 20months now, and I really like the program. However, when it comes to actually using the application itself, I still find that I obviously just don't get it and that frustrates me. For example, with Firefox3 open, I pressed Insert-V and set Browse Mode to Do Not Auto-read. After making the change, I pressed Control-Backslash and saved the Set File. I thought this would make the change in Firefox alone. However I was wrong. Now Browse Mode behaves in this fashion any time it is active. Therefore, the question is how does one know what settings are global and what settings are specific to each set file, thus requiring the Set File to be saved? It has been 20 months with multiple reads of the Window-Eyes Manual, and the Window-Eyes program still confounds me on what I feel is a basic level. Within weeks, I knew what it took to make a setting global or specific to a particular configuration file using JAWS. Suzy, The Blind Avenger Doing my best to prove blind people can.
