At the risk of beating a dead horse to death, here are two typical scenarios.
I've just finished editing a Word file and want to send it as an attachment. I close the file, place focus against the filename in the file list, press control-c and go from there. No searching involved. I want to send a copy of a recorded item to a friend. I can never remember the path to Window 7's music folder, so I just open the music folder, use first-letter navigation to find the subfolder, then the file, and I've located it without doing a whole lot of head- scratching. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Gene Warner Sent: Saturday, November 26, 2016 1:50 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] sending attachment in thunderbird I don't really see where the time savings is, because no matter how you do it, at some point, you will have to navigate to the file you want to attach. You either do it in Explorer or in your email client. Cheers!
