I pst this because it's relevant to our discussion of baseline and user agent support. This new version of JAWS includes support for Unicode and style sheets (haven't tried it tout yet; will report back). John "Good design is accessible design."

Some of the new features include: * Remote PACMate access from your desktop or laptop computer. * Unicode support for Windows NT/XP systems only. This will allow you to access more complex material and languages such as Arabic, Japanese, Russian, Hebrew, and a number of other languages. * New options in the Adjust Braille Options dialog. * The Braille Viewer has returned. * Control how JAWS uses style sheets in Internet Explorer. With this option you will be able to access pages as normal, only access top level formatting that is provided in style sheets on the current website, or ignore style sheets all together. This feature is especially useful for hard to navigate pages or forms. * Define row and column titles in Excel. Using this feature you can define your own row and column titles in Excel, or if another user has provided this information you will be able to access it as well. Very useful for sighted people to provide expanded access to Excel spreadsheets to JAWS users without the sighted user needing to install JAWS.
