The Home "Button" is part of a control that operates like a Tab Control, where there are different pages for each Tab. The term Tab here is in it's likeness to tabs on physical file folders rather than the Tab key. You really do not need to press Space to activate that page. Simply use the Left and Right Arrow keys to find and activate the other pages. From left to right, the page tabs are; Home, Update, History, Settings, Help, and Additional Help Options. Once you are on the page you want, just use the Tab key to move around to the controls on that page. Unfortunately, this Tab Control does not indicate you are on this type of control when using JAWS.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Home button in microsoft security essentials

Hi everyone,



When using the PC cursor, when I tab to this button, Jaws tells me to press
the spacebar. When I do this, nothing happens.



I then went to the Jaws cursor. I could now arrow down to hear such items
as, "Graphics, Virus and spyware definitions up-to-date." This was very
helpful.



Am I using this button correctly.



Russ
