This thread is so large right now that I can't even remember if Don stated in his original email which version of Windows, Jaws and Office he is using. I am asking because Don asked what Narrator is and while Narrator was of limited use in Windows 7, I think most blind Windows 10 users probably have heard about it since it is being continuously being improved and has been the subject of many Podcasts and email list discussions.

Don,
hit control +alt +delete key (above arrow keys) arrow down to device manager and hit enter arrow down until you hear programs currently running. Microsoft Word for example. If this is what is not being able to close, once you hear the MS Word, hit tab key until you hear close program and hit enter. It may take a few attempts hitting the close program button and may also take a few seconds to close the program. If other programs are needing closed, shift tab back to the list and arrow up or down until you hear the next program needing closed. again hit tab until you hear close program and hit enter. Repeat as needed...
Rick

Thanks for your response. I can't use F4 with other functions. Not sure what task manager is or how to use it.

Are you able to use alt +4 to kill other applications?
Are you able to kill the problematic apps using the task manager and task function?
Thanks,abraham

I'm not sure what model of keyboard I have. It has a number pad, if that's what you're asking.

Yesterday a friend helped me fill in the province of British Columbia's speculation tax form online. He ran into a snag, so started again with a fresh format and we sent the completed form off. I could not close the first form but shut down the computer. I don't know if it's related, but since then I cannot close Word files or emails. I can open and read them and move them, but I can't close them. If I'm in my email list, I can use Alt tab to get out of an open email, then delete or move it, but the open email is still there. I assume that somehow I've frozen the Alt F4 function. My only resort is to shut down the computer. When I start it up again, emails I've deleted both from In and Deleted folders reappear. Any thoughts?
I'm using Windows 10 and JAWS 17, though I plan to purchase JAWS 2020 in a few weeks.
I'd appreciate any help.
Don
