Hum Sandra, interesting question this one. GW Micro's not addressing browse mode in the forthcoming 7.1 release, but pretty sure they said that's slated for version 8.
Who knows what will happen by then? Interestingly System Access - as we now know it as - has had scemeless browsing with no "browse mode" for ever. Another company thought that would be a good idea - and to my knowledge Serotec hasn't launched a a suit saying "we had the idea First!" Whether the unamed company will try to propriatise the idea who knows, but in any case GW seems to hint that browse mode as we know it might disappear. Quite what can be fenced off in software design in patents has always been less than obvious to me. Apple got nowhere with the "look and feel" of their OS being "stolen" by Microsoft. I notice so far that Sony doesn't seem to be suing the writers of Goldwave for pinching the JKL keystrokes for scrolling in their audio editor. let's hope no one can fence of the idea of not switching into and out of browse mode. It's my guess GW will stay silent on this one for some while yet. Ray. Sandra Fouts wrote: Greetings. Just wondering. It's my understanding that JAWS no longer has their forms mode. Are we going to get lucky and get rid of Browse mode completely? I wish we would! It would be nice to just type in an edit box without having to turn the thing on or off. Also, when it is off, you miss things on other lines if you're trying to fill out a form.
