To read a scroll bar You would use this hot key. Read_Progress_Or_Scrollbar = Control-Insert-b The status bar in Microsoft word is configurable to tell you line page etc. you can even have it give you a word count. The index reading first is a good idea for those people who would like that. I would hate it myself but this shows my point that we need more control over what is read. How it is read so forth..

When in a list of files and folders in a folder, it has to read the entire line of filename, size, type, date, time, and more depending on the file type, before it tells the index item number. I'd like the index number given first so I won't have to wait for all that to find out where I am. If that seems like to much chatter when you don't want it, perhaps there's a keystroke that can be assigned to give the index on demand. Also, is it possible to have a sort of progress indicator as to how far into a file we are when reading. It would need to be a hot key like reading a progress bar so that it did not speak while reading through a document. I just want some way to find out if I'm getting close to the end or barely into a document and should save the finishing of it until later. I believe there is a visual indicator of this position in scroll bars in Word and the like, but I don't have anything like this in Notepad or Wordpad or email messages. I actually wondered about this recently when reading the text displayed when upgrading WE. It was a huge file. If I'd known how long it was going to take me to read it, I'd have used the Later button. I have not even tried to get into scripts yet, but maybe a script can be written to basically performa a macro to bring up the WE control panel, choose a menu option or dialog, and select a particular option. I'm not sure if scripts can be made to work like a macro; but, if they can, then another would need to be made to reverse the selection. I guess this would need a hot key to run the script. I don't know if this works or not. Just a thought from a pre-novice WE scriptor. Thanks! Marilyn If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
