Hi Karen,
Yes, that is correct.

Subject: Re: : Re: License and years left Hi Mike, So if I put it in the system tray, when I alt tab through other programs that are open, it isn’t one that I would alt tab through? So if I had Outlook and two documents in Word open and I was doing alt tab to go between them, Jaws wouldn’t be a part of that?

Hi Karen,
The advantage for me is by running it from the system tray it keeps the Jaws window out of the, Alt - Tab, order when Alt - Tabbing amongst open windows, but the Jaws context menues can still be accessed via the, Insert + J, keystroke, as mentioned by Gene I believe.
One caveat seldom mentioned is that you can tell Jaws to run from the system tray, but you don't have to have it show in the system tray. I do it this way so it cuts down clutter in the Alt - Tab order and also shows one less icon in the system tray.
Stay safe and take care. Mike. ----- Original Message ----- From: Karen Reynolds Sent: Friday, July 08, 2022 2:52 PM Subject: Re: : Re: License and years left

Not having a JAWS window makes it less obtrusive and gives it a greater appearance of running in the background. You can hit jaws key + j to access the menu so there’s no disadvantage.

Hi Mike, I don’t run it from the system tray. What are the advantages of doing this?

Hi Karen,
If you don't run Jaws from the system tray this is normal, but if you do run Jaws from the system tray it is not.
If you have Jaws set to run from the system tray try unloading Jaws and reloading, now see if you can access the menues by arrowing after pressing, Insert + J.

I must have something set up differently. I can press insert plus j and it brings up the jaws window and reads the current version, like it would as a heading. It won’t let me get to the menus this way unless I press alt h. Is there a setting I need to change in Jaws?

Hi Karen,
Press, Insert + J, up arrow to, Help submenu, press enter, up arrow to, About, press enter and this is where you'll find the info you're looking for.

Yes, for some reason all it tells
me is the version and my number. |
