The guidelines clearly state if you have a problem with Freedom Scientific then take it up with them directly. This is not the forum for such things.

Thanks for the info Wynn But Outlook 2010 has reverted to back to how it was in Jaws 11 whereas I have to either cursor down then back up to read the current message details in a list view or Insert + Up Arrow. If I read a page on www.macworld.co.uk I can see the page appears on white on black then it is immediately covered with white flash sort of thing and it is then only possible to see some of the adverts. This is using Windows 7 using the High Contrast white on black theme. And what's all this rubbish about NFL? Isn't that putting U S A specific stuff that only affects the USA and not the rest of the world? Isn't Jaws a "GLOBAL" product? So does this mean you are now going to do the same for every country in the world giving them the same instant access to their favourite sport? I doubt it very much so why are you giving a preference to American users and not the rest of the world? I think have been moaning enough about the amount of money they pay for Jaws, so why are those outside the US having to pay for US only features?

Below, I have included the list of changes we have made and we are continuing work now as we work towards another update in early October. Thanks to all of you who have provided feedback and we look forward to hearing move in the coming weeks. Regards, Eric Damery Freedom Scientific New Features added in second Public Beta, JAWS 12.0.451 The following features have been added to the latest JAWS 12 public beta release. Reading HTML Tables The default setting for reading HTML table titles has changed so that JAWS now conforms to industry defined HTML standards by only reading table headers that are properly marked up. You can see this when using the CTRL+ALT+ARROW Keys to move through an HTML table. While the default setting is now set to Only Marked Headers, you can continue to use earlier functionality for reading HTML tables if you are more comfortable with those settings. To change settings, press INSERT+V to open JAWS options, and then press T to move to the Table Titles Announce option. Next, press SPACEBAR to cycle through and select a new setting, and then ENTER to save the change. Remember that you can always use Personalized Settings (INSERT+SHIFT+V) to customize how JAWS reads table column and row headers on any given Web site, without modifying how JAWS reads table headers on other Web sites. For more information about reading HTML tables, visit the Tables section of Freedom Scientific's Surf's Up <http://www.freedomscientific.com/../Training/Surfs-Up/Tables.htm> . NCAA Football Lookup Source in Research It NCAA Football is a new addition to Research It. Use it to search for the schedules or results of your favorite college football teams. Because of the number of college teams, there are several ways to get search results. One way is to open Research It (INSERT+SPACEBAR, R), type a date using the mm/dd/yyyy date format, and then select NCAA Football. This shows a full list of games scheduled or played during that week. Another is to leave the search field blank and see schedules or results for the current week. The last way is to search for your favorite college teams by typing team names separated by a semicolon. This shows the current week's schedules or results for those schools. For example, type Florida; Texas; California to view results for teams with Florida, Texas, or California in their names. Search results display in the Virtual Viewer as a link so that you can open a Web browser and read a recap of past games or a preview of future games. Press CTRL+DOWN ARROW to move between the dates displayed for the week. Update to NBA Scores and NHL Scores The NBA Scores and NHL Scores lookup sources in Research It have been expanded and now provide links to box scores and game summaries. Each game listed in the Virtual Viewer is now a link. Select any link to launch your Web browser and read a recap and statistics of past games, or a preview of future games. Improvements with Adobe Flash JAWS can now announce buttons and other items that did not work correctly on some Flash Web sites. Examples of Web sites that now function properly are Audible.com and Dominos.ca.
