I am not experiencing the problems that you speak of in outlook express. 
When I backspace, Window_Eyes always speaks the deleted character.

Subject: Will this be fixed in version 7.2?


Win XP, Office 2003, and WE7.11 running by now.

I have mentioned this before, and GW told it to have been fixed, but it 
shows up to not be the case, at least on my system. The problems are in 
Microsoft Excel.

1. Scrolling to a cell, then starting to type some text into the cell, the 
text will show up in full, but the synth skips the first two characters. 
I.e, if I type Window-Eyes, the synth will read it as if I had typed 
'ndow-eyes'. Scrolling to next cell, and then back to my first one, the 
synth reads all the entered text correctly.

2. Ever so often, when scrolling through the cells, the Braille display 
shows more than a cell at the same time. This is particularly the case, when 
several contiguious cells holds numbers. You would then see things like:
    0.59 5534.2 84 95 103.223

3. When editing a formula, the Braille display is not updating. If my 
Formula reads a2:a57, and I want it to be edited, I go to the end (pressing 
end), then backspacing - say twice - and the screen would now read a2:a, but 
the Braille display still shows A2:A57. Typing 45, the screen would read 
A2:A45, but the Braille display keeps showing A2:A57. Why is this, and why 
has it not been fixed? :)


A fourth problem, is in the Outlook Express editing box, for entering the 
text in the message. When backspacing after a typemismatch, rather often, 
the character spoken is NOT the character that is actually deleted, but 
rather the one to the left of the deleted one. I.e, you write Windowx, then 
press backspace to correct the X, and you hear W. Quite frustrating, and 
must be even so the more, for the ones not having a Braille line confirm 
their actual action.
