Hi John,

Would U please 4ward a note 2 the 3 kind people from the DBT List who
took the time and trouble, and so promptly to, to respond to my problems
with getting Jaws to read out DBT Braille files correctly - Caroline,
Dave and the one whose name I couldn't find who told me about re-setting
the No. of pixels per tab.

Following their advice my various problems seem to have been solved and
I am most grateful.

I've never used any list B4 so it was very exciting to get answers at
all, let alone such precise and such prompt ones, and, judging from the
times of day on which some had been written, from overseas locations
behind us in time, - so the answers looked liked they'd arrived even B4
we'd sent the request!  Maybe you've all inspired me to overcome some of
my online-o-phobia.

From
Lee Smith
Braille Proof-reader for the Education Department
Sydney.

In actual fact, Freedom Scientific's Tech Support Team suggests
setting the number of pixels per space to 99.

John, in addition to what Caroline said, I have an idea that will
 fix the tabs problem mentioned in the last point. While she's in DBT,
have your friend go into the Jaws configuration manager, advanced
settings, and change the number of pixels per tab from 8 to 80. This
should eliminate the display gaps she's having trouble with.

data\freedom scientific\jaws\6.X\settings\enu where X represents your
JAWS version number, 0, 1, or 2), and paste the six files into this
folder.  Now, open DBT.  If you get a message about getting a list of
JAWS hotkeys you're done.  If not, press insert-F2 and go down to script
Manager.  Open this up.  Press Control-S which will recompile the
scripts.  Now, close configuration manager.  The program should now read
as it did before.

have given the long way here simply because I have no way of knowing
what configuration is being used.  Also, instead of the folder All
Users, you can substitute the folder of the user, (for example on my
machine I would use Owner), if you want to make these settings specific
to one particular user.  (Again, this is specifically for Windows XP.)

could skip the steps I've given above and simply go to the JAWS window,
utilities, and choose the Merge Utility.  Select the version of JFW that
you want to merge with, (in this case 5.X), and let JFW update all your
previous settings and scripts for you.  Good luck, and hope this helps.
