Ron, colors & jaws can get interesting really quickly, if only because jaws at times does not report the correct data. Your sequence should probably be as follows: 1) Dodgy though it is, 1st assume (& u know what u do when u do that), that jaws is indeed reporting the colors correctly. Press insert keyboard 5. Then use the findColors function in a script to find either the foreground, background, or both. If the script works, you're done--proceed no further. 2) If it does not work, then try the following. Put your jaws cursor on an event containing the colors u wish to find in order to use the below script. Script SayColorAtPoint() sayInteger(GetColorAtPoint(GetCursorCol(), GetCursorRow()) EndScript Let's see how that all goes b4 we talk again. If u need additional help, e.g., I did not provide enough details or somehow was not clear, just post again to the list for clarification. I'm sure either some1 else or myself will be glad to try to assist. All the best w/your new transition.
