Hi Flor & Julie, Great idea / tip! I tried as you suggested but, when you shift + tab into the application list & find the application you want, you need to tab 1 time into the Settings Center for that application. Pressing enter on the application closes the Settings Center. So, here is how I accessed the Openbook Settings Center: 1. While in Outlook Express I pressed Insert key + 6, on the number row above the main keyboard to open the Outlook Express Settings Center. 2. I invoked the keystroke, shift + tab, to get into the application list. 3. I pressed the letter O, until I had Openbook highlighted. 4. I tabbed 1 time into the Openbook Settings Center. 5. I Typed, sleep, into the search edit field & waited a few seconds for the list to populate & arrowed down to Sleep Mode ..... miscellaneous. 6. Now, right here the spacebar needs to be pressed to toggle the options until Jaws reports, sleep mode enable and unload the synthesizer. 7. Tab to apply, press the spacebar, tab to okay, press the spacebar to save your changes & close.
Julie, give these steps a try & let us know what happens. Flor, thanks again for your suggestion. Hope this helped. Take care.

(You would open the Miscellaneous settings and check the checkbox enable sleep and unload synthesizer.) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike B." <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, February 07, 2013 1:21 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] open book and jaws > Hi Julie, > > What you need to do is start the program you would like to put Jaws to > sleep > in but, I couldn't open the Settings Center with either the Insert + > F2 > keystroke for the Jaws Manager or the Insert Key + 6, on the number > row > above the main keyboard with Openbook open.
