When you select/highlight something in windows, it has a specific foreground color, against the current background color. Jaws uses this information to read the currently highlighted text. A few versions back, fs included the custom highlight assign, which allows you to specify the foreground and background color that jaws should look for and track for changes from item to item. You can access it from the jaws window>utilities>configuration manager, or by pressing jaws key f2, (run jaws manager dialog) and selecting the custom highlight assign option, second or third on the list. However, when pressing this keystroke and opening the CHA, which is recommended as jaws automatically creates the necessary files and such, you have to hav the jaws or pc cursor on the item that contains the highlight color. So in dimension open the instrument browser and go to the top level, and press jaws key f2, go to custom highlight assign, and select the button which is selected by default, assign foreground and background color, hit enter, hit enter on ok to confirm, and then exit. Now if you have done it successfully, jaws should read each item normally when you travel through the instrument browser treeview. If you need more info check out jfw help on this topic, or write me back, I'll be more than happy to help. HTH, D! J!

O yea the coordinates at a 1024*768 system loading the window in its default location is somewhere around (65, 65). If you need more help/assistance, give me a holler! HTH, D! J!
