Hello Rich, You might want to check to see if your line and paragraphs indication is turned off. Use JAWS key with V and type the word line (without the quotes) in the search box. Use down arrow key to the lines and paragraphs indication and if it is set to anything else but Off then press spacebar until the Off option is chosen. Tab to the OK button and press spacebar. The CTRL+Shift+8 keystroke toggles the state of the View All option so if you used it thinking that the option was active when it wasn't then you might have checked the option. To make sure it isn't checked, if you are using Word 2007 or later use Alt followed by H and then use CTRL+right arrow until you hear the Bullets button announced. Use tab key to the Show all button and if it is not checked then press Alt key to leave the menu. If it is checked use spacebar to remove the checkmark. In a version of Word earlier than 2007 go into the tools menu and choose the Options choice. Go to the View tab and make sure the Show All checkbox is not checked. Take care.

The process is slightly different for each of them. For the WAB file when you browse to it and use the Open button the import starts immediately. For the .CSV file, after using the Open button, you tab to the Next button and use spacebar. In the resulting window there will be a list of 24 items that can be checked or unchecked. Use up and down arrow keys in the list to move between items and spacebar to check or remove checkmarks from fields. If the field is checked, it will be included in the import. If you find a field in the list that is not checked and you want it included then press spacebar. For example, if the Email Address field is not checked then press spacebar to check the field. The Change Mapping dialog might appear and you should use down arrow until you find the entry for Email address to map it.If the Change Mapping dialog appears and you choose the field from the list and tab one time you will get a checkbox that should be checked for importing that field. Tab to the OK button and use spacebar to dismiss the Change Mapping dialog if you had to use it. Tab to the Finish button and use it to start the import. If you still have a problem then perhaps there is something wrong with the exported file. I would offer to help you through tandem but unfortunately I am not bilingual in Spanish and English. If you can't get it working feel free to contact me off list at the Email address shown below and I'll try to help. My daughters are fluent in Spanish. Take care.

If I use Jaws key f7 I get the list of links and can click the one I want. Then Jaws will read straight through the text, but if I interrupt, say, to try to read a line again, then it's back to all blanks. Is there a setting or something I need to change?
