It doesn't do this in earlier versions of office and Windows XP. If you
wish to rule out JAWS, then try another screen-reader or an earlier
version of JAWS if you know that it worked correctly there.

I just tried alt+control+I on my notebook computer that is running
windows 7
64 bit and ms word 2007 using Jaws 12.0.1170 and it worked fine with
no
adjustments needed. So it must be an issue with XP. I will see what
FS
tech support says.
Thanks,
Greg

Using word XP here, i found that out after I'd written. I don't think
this is a JAWS issue, however hopefully you'll get a constructive and
friendly response from FS.

Flor,
Thanks for the suggestion but when I hit alt+control+o in MS Word
2007
Jaws says "outline view". I have written FS tech support and will
let
you know what they suggest.
Best,
Greg

try alt+control+o (= overtype)? (Alt+ctrl+i was originally known as
'overwrite' mode.)
Someone was asking what it does. Normally, you are in insert mode,
where text follows along consecutively as you write. When you're in
Overtype Mode, you're filling in an existing space or template,
*writing over* existing characters, where the amount of text does
not
change.

Dear Ann, Flor and Alex,
Thanks for your suggestions. However I still cannot get
alt+control+i to toggle over type on and off. I went into the
tools
menu in MS word 2007, went to options and went to advanced. The
over type option was not checked but neither was control over type
with the insert key. So I checked the use insert key option for
controlling on and off over type and left typeover unchecked.
However when I press the alt+control+i key jaws still says insert
mode active. When I press it again it says the same thing "insert
mode active".
I then tried checking the allow over type key in the options menu
but then Jaws said typeover active when I pressed the alt+control+i
key and I could not go back to insert mode. It seems like for me
the alt+control+i key is either one or the other. I cannot get it
to work as a toggle switch.
Greg

It'll be Word, not Jaws.

Flor,
Thanks for the advice. Is the tools menu you reference in MS word
or in
Jaws?

You need to uncheck the overtype Mode checkbox. It used to be
found in
the Tools | Options | Edit tab control.

Ann,
When I press alt+control+i Jaws announces insert mode active.
When I
press those keys again it still says insert mode active and type
over
is not activated. Am I doing something wrong?

To toggle between typeover and insert modes, press
alt-control-i.

Hello everyone,

In word 2007 how do you turn on/off type over mode. Pressing
the
insert key does not seem to work.
