Not sure if this will help you now, but when you have a chance, you may want to 
check the keyboard manager file associated with word to see if that key stroke 
is included.  The event may be set up in the script, but it may have no key 
stroke attached to it.  Just a thought!  I agree that the key stroke should not 
have been changed.

Replying to my own message here.

I just reverted to Jaws 15.0.7023. Now Control-E works in Word to center text, 
and the tab key works properly. Changing the tab key like that would be like 
saying the spacebar is now the bacspace key. You just don't mess with normal 
keyboard function keys like that. Is this change in version 923 intentional? 
And how did they break control-E for centering? It just does nothing now with 
that version of Jaws loaded.

Thank God for older versions.

Jean

Just got back from a holiday, found there was a Jaws update and stupidly did 
it. Using latest Jaws, Word 2013 as well.

Why on earth does the tab key not work now? I am on a work deadline, and spent 
endless time only to discover that a normal tab is now done with shift-tab. Who 
would have dreamed that one up? Very backward.

In Word, control-E to center text no longer works for me. Is this a Word change 
or a Jaws screw-up? I also find I can no longer use the normal tab or shift-tab 
in dialogue boxes. If I want to recheck a field, I have to cycle around again 
with the very frustrrating shift-tab.

Sorry, I’m way behind on list messages as I’ve been away. Sorry if this has 
been talked about already. Is there something I can do to fix this other than 
going back to a previous Jaws version and registering my dissatisfaction with 
FS?

Jean
