Thanks. I understand the part about addresses. I tried the directions for book titles, but couldn't do it.
Thanks anyway.

Then I use the arrow and home keys to navigate through without changing anything. Then I can press Escape to leave without saving any accidental changes. I can also use the copy feature when in the rename field. To read email addresses letter by letter I often copy the address and then open Notepad or Wordpad with keyboard shortcuts and paste the address there. Then I can go letter by letter, etc. I can close the document with or without saving it. To get an email address when my computer only shows me a name link I choose forward or reply. Then I look for the addresses in the To field or in the body of the letter in the case of a forward. I usually just copy the pertinent addresses and then close the email without sending it. I am using Win 7 and Jaws 15 but used these methods with all versions of Jaws for many years.

If I want to read letter by letter, the author of an NLS book I've downloaded to my hard drive, I can't do it with the arrow keys. I sometimes want to see how the author's name is spelled or how something in the title is spelled, or I want to read just the DB number. But I can't get Jaws to do that. I also can't get Jaws to read an email address in a header, letter by letter. Does anyone have any suggestions?
