I have noticed that when in a Save As dialog box, such as when saving a file in Internet Explorer, JAWS will not announce other items in the current folder or correctly report which folder is currently selected. Perhaps I have screwed up something, but JAWS seems lost!
When the Save As dialog appears, the focus is placed in the filename control. I normally press Shift + Tab twice to hear what other files and folders are in the currently selected directory. Pressing Backspace here will go up a level and I make sure I am in the desired folder before saving the new file. If I am still confused about which folder I am in, I can press Shift + Tab once more to get to a tree view with the current folder selected. My current Windows 7 and JAWS 10 and 11 will not work in this manner. Occasionally, when on the folder control, JAWS will announce the files and folders within that folder, but most of the time, I can not get it to announce anything! Even worse, when on the tree view, It will just announce the name of the hard drive even though the correct folder has been selected! Does anybody have the same problem? Does anybody know how to make JAWS announce these things correctly? Don Marang For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
