[blindlaw] file site and jaws 13?

hi,
I am happy to indicate that I am having some problems and that I do
not think  jaws 13 works well with file site.
May I ask however if you have found that freedom scientific have any
solutions to offer?
I simply do not have time to enter into a lengthy correspondence with
that firm, unless there will be some tangible result.
I do not use braill, on my pc, in an office environment.
I note randys points.
I can navigate the document folders in file site no problem.
One significant difficulty I have is that jaws does not read out the
subject line of emails, when browsing through a list. It reads out
worksite, followed by the subject, which is often abbreviated.
This costs me considerable time.
I share randys frustration at the search box.
After considerable time, I have figured out the various boxes and what
each does but I  agree that labelling might be helpful.

One particular annoyance is that jaws does not read the actual send
dialogue in send and file.
So you are sending an email. You click send. If worksite has some
problem, as where an attachment includes track changes, you will not
know using jaws.
You are presented with a yes or no dialogue and the question cannot be read.

I am having another problem where when I  send an email containing
attachments outside the firm, my machine sometimes hangs, usually if
it has been on for some time or has several windows open.
I don't know if jaws really causes this problem though it obviously
contributes by using system resources.
Any comments or solutions gratefully received.
