OK, the new FS reader is slightly different when it opens it is in the
navigation pain, however, use F6 to go to the contents and, select a book or
item, the press enter.  If there is a newer version of the file the reader
will tell you and ask your permission to download it.  So, since I put the
disk in and found no real easy to install the training files, mine came with
set up jaws, set up magic or install vocalizer voices, I left those files
alone, looked at the contents of the disk and did not see any way to extract
the files easily, may have missed it, however, I loaded FSR 3 and eventually
after some trial error, got a file to open, it did not need to be replaced,
as with many of the files probably.  Not sure about some of those older
files especially with Windows 8 and 8.1, and not happy about needing to pick
up three or even two files that probably do not load into FSR anyway for
some of the webinars free or not.  I would prefer all that training
everything to go to the same place and be able to navigate  in the same way.
Still, I don't think you have to worry about using FSR to get the training
and the extra files.  

Good luck and hope this helped a little.  You will find much more in the FSR
getting started which you can reach at any time by pressing F1.

>From the what's new section I understand that in the new FS3 reader you can
select a file and if it has been updated since you last accessed it, it will
be downloaded to your computer and ready for you to read.  

So, if you are looking for let's say Surf's up, you would press enter on
that file to open it, if it has been updated recently you would probably
hear "please wait..." and the newest update would be downloaded to the
computer.  

I could be wrong but it is how I understood it to work.  Not sure what
happens if it is a totally new file selection, how would it know to show in
the table of contents, but then maybe the table of contents connects to be
updated in that case.  

Your milage may vary.  I have the CD but have not even opened it.  

One last trick, if you hold down the shift key on inserting a CD it will not
start loading the jaws install.  It will wait for you to select a file on
the disk.  Having not actually looked at this year's CD yet I don't know
what those file names should be.  When I have time I will check it out.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] How to load all the JAWS FS Reader 3 training files
from the cd after JAWS has been installed

Hi

In JAWS 15 with FS Reader 3, I have read that you install the training files
through FS reader and not via the JAWS updates.  I have also read that if
you install JAWS from the CD, you get an option to install all the training
files from the CD.  But if you download JAWS from FS and install it, you do
not get an option to install the training files.  Also running the JAWS
startup wizard with the CD in the drive does not mention loading the
training files.  So is there a way to install all of these files at once
from the CD after you have installed JAWS 15 without re-installing JAWS 15?

Thanks.
