Thanks, I also am going to give the free version of Window-eyes a shot on
account of having the latest version of Office. I just hope that the program
will work computer wide, with any program.

the advice of many people here will be moving forward to Windows 10. Like I
said in my earlier post yesterday I have jaws 17 and plan on the store
downloading it and I will install it with my auth key. Is there anything I
need to know about Windows 10? Also, will ms Office 16 work with jaws? I am
also wondering if with this update you can still get Window Eyes for free,
and is this a full version of the program or is it something just for
office?
