[nfbcs] Omnipage Ultimate, Windows 10 & JAWS

At home I use Omnipage Ultimate with Window-Eyes 9.5.4 under Windows 7. I have not tried to use all parts of the program, but what I have used is accessible enough. I have JAWS on that system now, but haven't tried it with Omnipage yet.
Once things are set up the way you want them, you can use ctrl-1, then ctrl-2 and ctrl-3 to go through the steps of image acquisition, recognition and export, respectively. All of these options and sub-options are on the Process menu. If I want to read a little of the text output within the program, I will left-click the mouse pointer in the appropriate area, so that an eye-beam cursor is displayed. But mostly, after checking that a scan is going as I expect, I export to Word format, which is really RTF.
I haven't moved this copy over to the Windows 10 computer yet, but don't see why it wouldn't work.

Suddenly my Omnipage 17 no longer works with Windows 10. Previously, I tried Omnipage 18, which did not play well with JAWS. Is anyone using Omn. Ultimate (V19)?
Thanks
