[Social-sciences-list] SPSS Setup

[Maha Khochen]

Hi

I had SPSS 20 installed on my laptop today. I still haven't had any training 
on the use of the programme but have noticed that Jaws is not reading 
anything on the screen for me. Can you please send me the link to the 
special software patch? Also it would be very much appreciated if you could 
guide me through installing the java accessibility bridge. As I might be 
able to get Jaws to read the SPSS screen for me in this way. Any other 
suggestions/ advice that you may have to help me access the programme is 
very much appreciated.

Thank you,
Maha
