Hi Gale I'm using windows 7 with JAWS 14. I think really the problem I'm having is that I don't know exactly what I'm doing. I'd selected some audio to edit but then the file stopped playing altogether. Thanks so much for this link. I'll do a little on this each day and see how I go. You are all so very helpful.
