[nabs-l] email, highlighting, and languages

[Michael D Ausbun]

I can answer the first question, Firefox has a built in spellchecker. Now, I'm not sure how to turn it off and on; perhaps someone who uses Firefox will be able to let you know (I mostly use Internet explorer).

You might want to check your verbosity settings (insert V).  As for why it would do it in Firefox and not IE, I have no idea.  I’m not sure you can select non-consecutive lines using JAWS.  I have never actually come across any way to do it, but I will check for you.  With your third question, I can definitely help.  I took Spanish in middle school an high school and found it very easy.  You can put JAWS in Spanish, as well as several other languages.  I can look up how to change languages on the Braille Sence, but I’m sure there is a way to do it.  You will need to learn the braille symbols used for letters with accent marks.  If you like, I can e-mail them to you off-list, as well as detailed instructions on how to put JAWS, your iPhone and your Braille Scense in Spanish.  Sorry I couldn’t help much with your other questions, but I hope my Spanish advice helped.
