Fred:
Here's the official Window Eyes news release which contains info and joining
instructions for the Wednesday sessions.
http://www.windoweyesforoffice.com/
I suspect there is a Window Eyes e-mail list, but don't know the specifics.
Actually, I'm on so many e-mail lists right now that I'm reluctant to join
another because I'm already getting swamped with way too many e-mails, many
of which I don't necessarily need.
So, will wait to decide about subscribing to any W E list until I see how
helpful it might be.

I'm hoping to attend one of the Window Eyes on line meeting sessions this
week to get answers to these and other questions.
The info about the session times and dates, as well as the link to go to to
join, was sent out earlier on the list, but if you don't have it, let me
know, and I'll repost.

Tom, the questions you are asking are of interest to many of us. How do we
verify to window eyes that we really have microsoft office 2010?

Kelvin and all:
I had been tempted to post the news release to the list here, but didn't
want it to be perceived to be off topic, so thanks for doing this.
This is an incredible offer, as best as I can tell.
I personally use Jaws, but am now seriously considering at least having
Window Eyes available as another tool in the toolbox, since it might be more
likely to keep up with the rapid changes that are going on with today's
Windows operating systems.
It will probably be Summer until I can do this, because I'm now back to
teaching full-time, but it will definitely be on the project list for that
time frame.
I have two issues that I would like input on from anyone who is willing, but
the best thing would probably be to respond off list:
1. If I keep Jaws as my main screen reader, what would be the easiest way
to set Window Eyes up as a second alternative that I could get to easily.
Could I just install it like any other program, and make a relevant shortcut
key?
And
2. How much of a learning curve is there with Window Eyes, keeping in mind
that I have been using Jaws for the last 15 years?
I am asking these same questions on other relevant lists to which I belong.

Hi All,
I hadn't quite appreciated the scope of the offer when it was made = earlier
this week, but GWMicro and Microsoft have announced that the Window-Eyes
screen reader is now free for anyone with a copy of MS Office
10 or = greater.
I initially thought Window-Eyes would just work with Office, but it = looks
like you get the complete package.
