[blindlaw] Issues using Jaws and Westlaw in the last 24 hours.

[Brian Unitt]

I should have mentioned that I am using the latest version of JAWS 18, and WordPerfect X8 for my word processor.  I add the italics after I copy the citations.  Yes copying the citation separately is a pain.

To answer the original question, I have not noticed any strange behavior on Westlaw lately. I use the text.westlaw.com site.

Regarding copying text, I have JAWS set to "select and copy from virtual cursor." That gives me just the selected text with no formatting, and is very reliable. I honestly don't know how to do the copy with citation that has been referenced.

I have encountered the problem with not being able to get out of the save to folder area, and have not come up with a solution.

I have problems regularly selecting and copying text from WestLaw.
Frequently I end up with text I didn't mean to copy pasted into my
document, or missing words I thought were selected. And I'm sure I
selected the text. I have a Braille display and speech and I'm very
specific about what I am trying to copy.

Additionally does anyone else have the following problems with WestLaw
on a regular basis:
_ if I save a case or statute to a folder, I can't exit out of the
folder area. It says you should be able to close it with escape or by
pressing enter on the close button but neither works for me.
- I can never access the advanced search link with JAWS 18. I always
have to unload JAWS 18 and bring up JAWS 16 to activate the link.
