You know, this is the very sort of nasty snark that really does make me PO-ed. Most of the stuff I offer has been tested on JAWS, as I've been tutoring JAWS for several years now. When I know that the information I'm presenting is Windows-based, not JAWS based, and a very great deal of it is, it should work and virtually always does unless JAWS is capturing something as its own command ahead of Windows, which happens seldom. I've started trying things in NVDA because Freedom Scientific is the only screen-reader producer who doesn't have a version of its screen reader available in a trial or testing form that lasts beyond 40 minutes. Even then, I have a pretty decent sense of what needs to be verified versus what doesn't. Sometimes I am wrong; I'm not perfect. No one is forced to try the suggestions/"solutions" I offer, and if you find them objectionable, then please don't. Just don't have the unmitigated gall to even imply that I'm just "pulling them out of thin air" without any consideration as to whether they're likely to work before offering them. Brian
