[Blind-Computing] Needing Bible Program For My Computer
I do not have internet in my office at church and I am needing to download a Bible program on a thumb drive and take it to church and install it on my computer. This Bible program will need to work well with JAWS. Does anyone have some info that would help me?

Hi Rich, The path you need to follow for Windows XP home would be as follows; C:\documents and settings\user name\application data\microsoft\templates Important: note that where I have put in User name you must use whatever your profile name is such as Rich or Richard or something ike that as an example. Now when you get into templates look for Normal.dot and delete it.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Needing Bible Program For My Computer
Hi Donny, Well, the best bible programs I use are the online ones of course. I had a line on an off line bible system a few years back. However, with all the extra reference books it ran about $1400 or $1800. SO, that was out side my budget range. The only other stand alone bible I know of is called ESword. I am guessing one could make a thumb drive version. However, I am not sure how JAWS friendly it was.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Second try. Word issue with 14
I tried this to no avail. Would it be better to uninstall 14 in the add/remove programs area then install 14 again with the disc? Or, is the repair just as easy? I've never run a repair before.

But I tried this on my computer, no such thing happened. Try this too: Hit Insert and the J key to bring up the JAWS context menu, Under Utilities, hit enter on Settings Center. Tab out of the edit box and scroll to where it says Text Processing. Use the right arrow to open the tree, and scroll to Speech And Sounds Schemes. Again use the right arrow to open the tree and check under Active Speech and Sounds Scheme, it should be listed as classic. If not use the spacebar to make the change. Tab till you get to the OK button and hit enter. My last resort would be to repair JAWS, from the set up file, just make sure that your settings are not changed when doing the repair.

[Blind-Computing] Directing downloads to specific folders
Hello all. How does one using Jaws 12, IE 8 and Windows 7 direct downloads to specific folders? And, if she changes folder designation, will all subsequent downloads go to this folder or is there a quick way to change their destination? Thanks. Pete For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
Re: [Blind-Computing] Directing downloads to specific folders
Hi Pedro, Below are a couple of notes addressing this question. From: Lauren Simmons Now for your IE downloads configuration... To configure where your downloads go: Note: In Windows7, by default your downloads go to the following folder: C:\Users\Your name\Downloads. You can quickly open this folder by using Run dialogue and typeing the following: downloads 1. To configure where your downloads are saved create a folder somewhere on your computer and name it something like GreatDownloads. 2. Go to a website such as www.blindcooltech.com and initiate the download process. 3. When asked where you want to save the file, since you are on the efit field containing the name of the file, press shift tab twice or until you locate the first tree view which will likely be on Computer. Note: This is a tree view which means you will have to down arrow to a drive or folder then right arrow to open it. 4. using the trree view work your way over to where you would like your files to be downloaded. In this case, the name of the downloads folder you just created which is GreatDownloads. You can press enter on the folder and tab once to look inside and make sure you see the files that should be in that specific folder. 5. After you have found your desired download folder tab to Save or press Alt + s to begin downloading and saving the file. 6. After the download has completed work your way over to your GreatDownloads folder and confirm that the file has been downloaded to this location. 7. To be 100% certain all downloads will be placed in the GreatDownloads folder, go to another website and download a small file then confirm it has been saved to the GreatDownloads folder. Tips: 1. From now on, when you are in the process of saving a file, and you are in the Internet Explorer 8 download dialogue, You can press the following keyboard command to quickly determine where your file is going to be saved: Alt + letter d. If the file is not being saved in your desired folder, follow the steps above to configure a desired download folder once again. 2. Whenever in a download dialogue, you can quickly press Alt + S to save a file. LS From: Gene Here is one way to do what you want: Each main new step starts on a new line. Once you are in the edit field where you can change the file name, shift tab twice. You are now in a list of folders and files that you work with in the same way as if you were in My Computer. For those who may be wondering, you shift tab twice in Windows 7 but only once in Windows XP to get to the folders and files list I am discussing. Find and open the folder where you want the file to be saved. Don't move at all with the arrow keys in the folder after you open it. Tab twice to get back to the edit field and press enter. The download will start. Internet Explorer will remember where you saved the file. It, as well as many other programs remembers the last place you download something. In future, you don't have to go through this procedure again. Now, once you are in the edit field where you can change the filename, just press enter The download will begin and the file will be placed where you specified. Gene Hope these helped. Take care.

Re: [Blind-Computing] how do i restore my pc back 1 week?
Hi Tom, Below are a couple of notes I have saved regarding your question: Restoring your computer using System Restore, and Jaws. This procedure was used successfully with Jaws 6.2, on an eMachine computer, with an Intel 2.8ghz processor, 256mb ram, and 80gb hard drive, with the display resolution set at 50% of the maximum available screen resolution, and color pallet set at highest 32 bit. 1. From the system restore window, choose, restore my computer to an earlier time, and tab to the next button, and press enter. 2. Use control home, to move to the top of the page, then arrow downuntil you hear the current month and year. while arrowing down the page, you will hear instructions for restoring your computer. 3. While the cursor is positioned on the current month, shift tab, and you will be on the previous month button. if you want to see the restore points in the previous month, press enter on the previous month button. 4. Follow the above steps to locate the month from which you want to select a restore point from. Each time you select the previous month, or next month, you can use the up and down arrow keys to move thru the text on the selected page. 5. Once you have selected the month you want, from the available choices,, arrow down the page until you hear the day of the week you want. This is where a simple NotePad file of your restore points comes in handy. After making a restore point, if you record this imformation in a file, you can refer to it to see the exact date you want to restore to. This makes it quicker to locate a restore point in the restore point calendar. 6. place your cursor on a day of the week, and then tab until you hear Jaws read a restore point, and from here you can use your up and down arrow keys to see the list of restore points on the page. 7. once you have found the restore point you want to use, tab to the next button, and press enter. 8. Here you should get a confirmation page, so, start at the top of the page, and arrow down to read the imformation. 9. If you are satisfied with your selection, then tab to the next button and press enter. The system restoration should begin. 10. Do not disturb the computer during this process, your machine should re-boot when the restore operation has been completed. There may be a restore confirmation screen presented to you when the machine re-boots, and you can okay this dialogue to close it, and resume using your computer. NOTE: This is how the process went on the system mentioned above using one particular version of Jaws, and does not reflect how Jaws will read the imformation on every system. Close Window From: Gene gsas...@ripco.com Here is more information. I said in my last message that System Restore in XP uses a somewhat nonstandard interface. It appears the interface causes later versions of JAWS to work differently with it than earlier versions. I don't know how much you know about System Restore. My Accessible World presentation gives a lot of information about System Restore for those not familiar with the utility and advises on how to use it in ways that will avoid possible problems such as unintentionally uninstalling programs. If you don't want that much information, you can skim my presentation untuil you get to the parts you want to listen to. But I'll provide some information that may allow you to use it with your current version of JAWS in this message. Your version of JAWS may not allow you to activate certain buttons. You can do so, however, if you do the following: If you are at a button you can't activate, turn off the JAWS cursor with JAWS key z. Then tab or shift tab until you are on the button you want and press the space bar. Then turn on the JAWS cursor again with the same command, JAWS key z. You can now look at the page to see what has changed as a result of you activating the button. Here is a very brief partial description of how to run a restore point. Open System Restore. Issue the command alt n, the short cut command that takes you to the second screen, where you select a restore point. the first screen is introductory and its purpose is to present information to the new user. Once you have issued alt n and are on the second screen, move to the bottom of the screen with control end. Move up about three times using control up arrow. That will get you to about where you want to be much faster than just up arrowing. Look around a bit with the up and down arrow keys. Do you see a restore point? Is it the one you want to work with? If not, then turn off the virtual pc cursor with JAWS key z and start tabbing or shift tabbing. You will find a button that says show the previous day. Press the space bar. Turn on the virtual pc cursor again with JAWS key z. Move to the bottom of the screen again and once again, control up arrow three times. Now find the text telling you about the restore point or points available for the day you are on. If you need more help

Do not disturb the computer during this process, your machine should re-boot when the restore operation has been completed. There may be a restore confirmation screen presented to you when the machine re-boots, and you can okay this dialogue to close it, and resume using your computer. NOTE: This is how the process went on the system mentioned above using one particular version of Jaws, and does not reflect how Jaws will read the imformation on every system. Close Window From: Gene gsas...@ripco.com Here is more information. I said in my last message that System Restore in XP uses a somewhat nonstandard interface. It appears the interface causes later versions of JAWS to work differently with it than earlier versions. I don't know how much you know about System Restore. My Accessible World presentation gives a lot of information about System Restore for those not familiar with the utility and advises on how to use it in ways that will avoid possible problems such as unintentionally uninstalling programs. If you don't want that much information, you can skim my presentation untuil you get to the parts you want to listen to. But I'll provide some information that may allow you to use it with your current version of JAWS in this message. Your version of JAWS may not allow you to activate certain buttons. You can do so, however, if you do the following: If you are at a button you can't activate, turn off the JAWS cursor with JAWS key z. Then tab or shift tab until you are on the button you want and press the space bar. Then turn on the JAWS cursor again with the same command, JAWS key z. You can now look at the page to see what has changed as a result of you activating the button. Here is a very brief partial description of how to run a restore point. Open System Restore. Issue the command alt n, the short cut command that takes you to the second screen, where you select a restore point. the first screen is introductory and its purpose is to present information to the new user. Once you have issued alt n and are on the second screen, move to the bottom of the screen with control end. Move up about three times using control up arrow. That will get you to about where you want to be much faster than just up arrowing. Look around a bit with the up and down arrow keys. Do you see a restore point? Is it the one you want to work with? If not, then turn off the virtual pc cursor with JAWS key z and start tabbing or shift tabbing. You will find a button that says show the previous day. Press the space bar. Turn on the virtual pc cursor again with JAWS key z. Move to the bottom of the screen again and once again, control up arrow three

[Blind-Computing] Desktop / Start Menu Shortcuts For XP Users
Hi All, Below is a link from David's website for many shortcuts that can be placed on the desktop or start menu. These are found under the Shortcuts Heading on the Tips Tricks page. Shortcuts The shortcuts in this section are for areas in Windows that can be accessed from the run command, or are a pain to navigate to otherwise. These shortcuts can save a little time accessing these areas, especially for those who have typing difficulties for one reason or another. http://www.jaws-users.com/text/Shortcuts/WindowsXP/index.html Hope this helps.
