I have done more work with Jaws 2 and found that the macro for
Wordperfecthas the wrong color for the spell checker.  I've been
struggling for three days on and off to try to change the color
to search from what it is to black background as the default
colors for the misspelled word on the spell checker is bright
white on black.  I called your tech support man and he in turn
told me to read the manual which I'd already done but I reread
it and made a fresh attempt got as far as changing the macro but
couldn't save it or should I say make the changes permanent.  As
for now I've gone back to changing the colors in Wordperfect and
keeping two wo{wp}.set filesI suggest that youmight make sort of
a reference card breaking each step down and putting them inin
logical order.  I'm not sure if the macros are hard to changeor
hard to editbut I don't feel that I've been provided with step
by step instructions on how to edit such a complicated macro.  I
believe that Jaws2 is a great and powerful program butwork needs
to be done to make these macros easier to edit.  You all work
with them every day thus it seems routeen to youbut when the
first macro I have to change is one as complicated as that one
for Wordperfect it is intimidating.  This is the first place in
Jaws2 where I'd say real improvement is needed.  Murphey's law
prevails in computing thus to mean easy to fix macros would be
helpful. Grant
