Update Enhancements Included as of Build 9.0.353 (4 October 2007) First of all, congratulations to AOL for releasing AIM 6.5 <http://www.aim.com/> on October 3, 2007. JAWS 9.0 users are all set and ready to use the new 6.5 version, so please be certain to give it a try! Thanks to all the public beta testers who identified issues in our initial release and reported them so well using the Beta Report form on this page. As a result, many of the items were resolved and have been included in this first update on October 4th. Others are still under investigation, and we will be looking forward to posting more updates soon. * Resolved the reported issue where JAWS would begin to fail in reading many items like the List of System Tray items (INSERT+F11) after coming out of Hibernation or Standby mode. * Resolved a reported problem with the Microsoft Outlook 2007 Inbox. JAWS would sometimes fail to speak the item you landed on when moving rapidly across entries with similar attributes such as Unread. * Resolved an issue reported in Outlook Express where selecting text in reverse order using CTRL+HOME, would not display the expected results in braille until doing a screen refresh. * Resolved a problem reported in Microsoft Word and Outlook 2007 where text could be skipped during a Say All when preceded immediately by a period followed by a comma. * Resolved reported problems associated with reading by sentence in Word and Outlook 2007 where sentences could be repeated. * Resolved an issue in Outlook 2003 and Outlook XP when moving and reading by Paragraph with CTRL+DOWN ARROW or CTRL+UP ARROW when in Compose mode of an e-mail. * Resolved an issue where JAWS was reporting the section and page number in Word 2007 and Outlook 2007 when landing on a blank document or e-mail. * Addressed a long standing issue where JAWS would sometimes fail to announce Copy, Cut, or Append to Clipboard. Once in this state, the only way to get it to properly report the message was to restart JAWS. * Changed the behavior in the Adjust JAWS Options dialog box (INSERT+V) in Word and Outlook 2007 so that if the user changes or toggles the item "Say All, using Line, Sentence, or Paragraph," JAWS now makes the change persistent across JAWS sessions. * Resolved several reported problems in Microsoft PowerPoint 2007. * Resolved a reported problem in Outlook 2007 where JAWS was not automatically reading e-mail when the Messages Automatically Read option was enabled using the Adjust JAWS Option dialog box (INSERT+V), if you were moving forward or backward through mail messages using CTRL+PERIOD or CTRL+COMMA. * Resolved a reported issue in Outlook 2007 when using the Say All command (INSERT+DOWN ARROW), while in a composition window of an e-mail message, could leave Navigation Quick Keys on after stopping the Say All. * Resolved reported issue in Outlook 2007, Outlook 2003, and Outlook XP where users were not able to activate links in Plain Text messages. * Resolved an issue reported where reading the table of contents in Word documents could fail once moving away from the table of contents and then returning to it. * Resolved a reported problem of Say All only reading the top line of the Read-only Help window in the Adjust JAWS Options dialog box (INSERT+V) if you activated the dialog box while in Word 2007 or Outlook 2007. Note: Users of Outlook 2007 will hear a message about an unknown function call if they press INSERT+V while focused on Outlook 2007 in build 9.0.353. This is being resolved for the next post and should not hinder the use of the software at this point. * Resolved an issue in Word forms, where JAWS was reading the F1 automatic Help messages prior to reading the status bar help text. This will now be reversed. * Added option in the Adjust JAWS Options dialog box (INSERT+V) for Word to give users the ability to disable F1 automatic Help messages. * Updated INSERT+F1 context-sensitive help and INSERT+H Hotkey help in new Outlook 2007 Calendar support. * Resolved a reported issue where using the UP ARROW and DOWN ARROW in the Outlook 2007 Calendar while in Month View was sluggish. * Resolved an issue reported where pressing ENTER twice, in a multiline edit field in Internet Explorer while in forms mode, would result in messages happening if you then type a number, as if Navigation Quick Keys had been turned on. * Added help text for the "Information Bar Messages Announcement" item found in the Adjust JAWS Options dialog box (INSERT+V) while in Outlook. Note: Users of Outlook 2007 will hear a message about an unknown function call if they press INSERT+V while focused on Outlook 2007 in build 9.0.353. This is being resolved for the next post and should not hinder the use of the software at this point.
