Hello Margaret,
If you want to hear the additional keystrokes, such as Control and Alt,
do the following:
1. Press Control-Backslash to open Window-Eyes.
2. Press Alt-H, V to toggle advanced options.
3. Press Alt-E to move to the settings treeview.
4. Press K to move to the Keyboard node, and open it by pressing the
Right Arrow.
5. Down Arrow to Special Keys.
6. Tab through the options, and set them to your liking. Remember that
you can press F1 on any item to hear a brief help message detailing what
the setting does.
7. Once you are happy with your changes, press Control-S to save them.
Regarding your second question, the control you are landing in is
actually called a rich edit. You can disable all control type
announcements, but we don't recommend doing so unless you are very
familiar with your applications and don't need to know, for instance,
that your focus has landed in an edit field, check box, etc.
Feel free to write back if you have any other questions.
Regards,
Steve

Hi All,
I'm a new WE user and have been using Outlook Express for years with JAWS. I'm
working my way through the tutorial, but have a slew of questions. I'm hoping
two for starters is okay.
It seems that in a bunch of OE command the Control, alt keys as Control-F for
forward or alt-i in spelling to ignore the suggestion, WE only speaks the
letter f or whatever is part of the keystroke instead of Control F etc. It
looks like WE says normal Windows commands such as Control C for copy the way
I'm used to hearing it as Control C. Is this normal Window-Eyes behavior and
can it be changed so I can hear the whole keystroke again as I do now with JAWS?
Also, when composing mail in OE, when typing in the information for the
headings WE seems to be saying something like to rich edit, Subject rich edit
and I'd like it to stop saying rich or whatever it is saying.
I'm running XP Home with SP3 and Window-Eyes is currently set at beginner level
or whatever WE calls it.
Thanks,
Margaret
