This is because the link wraps to additional lines. Before you click on a link, you should always check to see if it goes beyond the first line. If it does, you will need to hit SHIFT-DOWN ARROW until you select the whole link, then hit CONTROL-C to copy it to the clipboard, then you will need to open your web browser and hit CONTROL-O and then CONTROL-V to paste the contents of the clipboard into the line and then hit ENTER.

Its large and > contrasting letters also make it easier to type and use MAGic hot keys. > Using the MAGic Keyboard Manager, you can assign different MAGic > functions to these keys. For example, if you do not use dual monitors, > you can change the Jump to Next Display key to any other feature item > such as mute system sounds. > > The keyboard also allows the assignment of shortcuts to keys. With a > shortcut, the keys can launch applications, open files on your computer > or in a network folder, or open a favorite Web site. For example, you > can assign the M1 key (available along the top of the MAGic Large Print > Keyboard) to open a document that you need to regularly access. > > Another benefit is that you can use the keyboard with JAWS screen > reading software. Similar to MAGic, you can assign hot keys to JAWS > functions while also using the keyboard with or without running MAGic. > Note that when running the two applications together, the JAWS > functionality will override the MAGic functionality. > > Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 Support > > JAWS 12 has been further enhanced for Internet Explorer 9 which is > available for users of Windows 7 and Vista. These enhancements include > Braille and the JAWS cursor being able to properly navigate and read > pages. Please note that with the release of Internet Explorer 9, > Microsoft has made significant changes which prevent commercial screen > magnification products from smoothing fonts as we had previously. If > font smoothing is important for users of MAGic on your computer, we > recommend that you remain with Internet Explorer 8 on your machine until > a solution has been worked out. > > Microsoft Excel Improvements > > The interface to the Excel Object Model has been rewritten. You will > experience a more responsive and accurate interface to Excel. > > Visual Studio 2010 Professional Support > > Visual Studio 2010 Professional is a development environment from > Microsoft that enables application developers to develop software using > a wide variety of languages including C++, C#, Visual Basic.net, and > more. JAWS 12 now provides robust support with both speech and braille > for various areas of the Visual Studio system, including: > > * IntelliSense, similar to auto completion, which gives > suggestions for what to type next based on what you have already entered > * Editor Adornments such as bookmarks and break points > * WPF and Forms Designers for laying out dialog boxes and other > windows; as well as the Code, XML, Text, and Macro Editors > * As you develop your applications, you will even be able to use > the Debugger to step through your program to locate errors > > UTF-8 File Support > > JAWS script files now support UTF-8 format. In Script Manager, the File > menu has the new UTF-8 Format command. When you open a UTF-8 encoded > script file (JSS), the command has a check mark. If you open an ANSI > encoded script file, the command does not have a check mark. > > You can save an ANSI encoded file as UTF-8 by simply selecting, or > checking, the UTF-8 Format command in the File menu. Likewise, to save a > UTF-8 formatted file as ANSI, clear, or uncheck, the command. Note that > the script's header and message files (JSH and JSM) can be in a > different format. This means that a UTF-8 script file can include ANSI > header and message files or vice versa. > > ARIA Support > > Improvements continue to be made to JAWS and its support of ARIA and > industry standard ARIA tool kits. > > Mozilla Thunderbird Script Support > > JAWS 12 includes full support for the Thunderbird e-mail application. It > offers users an alternative to Windows Live Mail. > > Conversation View in Outlook 2010 > > JAWS now supports the new conversation view found in Microsoft Outlook > 2010. This view is different than prior versions of Outlook.
