All jaws updates are worth the bother to install.  They are to fix things
that are wrong with the present version or to add important features.  It's
very easy to use the update feature so installing the update won't take
anyone more than a few minutes.  Try to remember Freedom Scientific doesn't
put these out for no reason.

Subject: [gui-talk] Latest Jaws update. Worth the bother to download and
install?

I've just been to the FS page where they talk about the bug fixes and 
improvements in succeeding releases/builds of Jaws 10, and the two things 
below are all that seems is new this time around. let's be practical, 
though. If I don't bother to install this update, will having failed to do 
so cause me some trouble later when another update is posted, or when it's 
time for me to install Jaws 11? I don't want to inconvenience myself like 
that, but still I'm leery of dutifully installing each new update without 
question when I hear someone complain that doing so screwed them up in some 
way. Here are the only two items I found that look like changes in this new 
build, and neither of these things is of any use to me:

a.. Resolved an issue where JAWS would not properly read the playlist window

in the latest iTunesR 8 automatic update.
a.. Resolved a reported issue with how JAWS worked with the Track Changes 
feature in Word. Speech and braille were not working correctly for any 
markups once the view was set to Final.
any comments from anybody who's already installed this build? Personally, I 
always download from the site, and never use the update feature on the Help 
menu. I've heard too many people say it doesn't work well for them, and I 
feel safer just doing it myself. Don't want to get into an argument about 
this if there are several passionate opinions. thanks for understanding. 
civility is everything.
