Oh yes!
To answer your other question, I've tried the F7, and it doesn't do anything.
Blessings, Joshua

I found that out when I researched the college.
I like to research different colleges to see how their disability services are.
I'm using Jaws 10.0.
I posted something about my Jaws problems on another thread.
Blessings, Joshua

Hi Joshua,
What version of jaws are you using?
Did you try an invert F7 to bring up the links list. I have had the same problem and that is how I get around it.
Dominican College is located in Orangeburg New York.

The biggest problem I face when working with jaws is that it tends to move to the top of the page. an additional problem I face is when I need to use the timer modification and need to log in. Jaws will let me put in my information but when I try to read a test and answer questions jaws moves to another place on the screen. I could go on with all of the problems I face with blackboard but will say that jaws 14 is an improvement with exception to form fields.
