Hi all,

I am getting a temporary job and I was informed I have to use Window  Eyes, WE, and I am used to jaws.
At least I can change it to elloquence.

So does anyone have a list of commands for it, the reading commands I mean. 
I need commands for things like read to end of screen; in jaws that is insert down arrow. Also read next/previous word, current line, current sentence, next/previous paragraph would help.

How are the internet commands different? I know that you move through menus with the same arrows and hit enter on your menu choice, just as with jaws; that is a keyboard thing, not a screen reader thing.

I heard you still have to turn on forms mode in We, where as jaws you do not. Are the hot keys the same, or are some the same.
Some of the hot keys for internet for jaws are:
insert f7: links list.
insert f5: headings list
Insert f9: frames list
H: headings
C: combo box
R: radio button
B: button
In jaws you can also custom label links and I think that command is 
Control insert tab.

Thanks for any tips.
Ashley
