Re: [Blind-Computing] jaws/pc cursers
thank you. a very good explanation of the jaws curser function On 2/21/13, Mike B. mb69ma...@charter.net wrote: Hi Melissa Tom, Below are explanations of the PC Jaws cursors below that explanations of all 4 Jaws cursors. The keystrokes for routing PC Jaws cursors are: Insert + PC cursor key, = Moves / routes the PC cursor to the Jaws cursor. The PC cursor is the equivalent of the insertion point, or the carat. Whenever the focus changes, for example when you enter a menu bar with the alt key, the PC cursor moves to that location. The JAWS cursor, on the other hand, imitates and actually causes, the mouse pointer to move everytime you arrow with the JAWS cursor. It also offers commands to simulate a left and right click, which can also be used for double clicking. You can also use commands to drag and drop by locking a mouse button down, moving to another part of the window, then unllocking it. Hope this helps. About JAWS Cursors Navigating through Windows with JAWS is accomplished with cursors. These cursors determine the focus of JAWS speech and are often directly linked with Windows cursors. The PC Cursor - Follows Keystrokes This cursor is linked to the keyboard functions of Windows and applications. This is the cursor that is used when typing information, moving through options in dialog boxes, and selecting options or icons. As you type information, the PC Cursor follows along with each key you press. If you are making a selection in a menu or dialog box, the PC Cursor highlights the currently selected object. The PC Cursor is activated by default when JAWS starts. If you are using a different cursor, pressing NUM PAD PLUS returns you to the PC Cursor. The JAWS Cursor - Follows Mouse Pointer The JAWS Cursor is linked to mouse pointer functions in Windows and other applications. It is used to read information the PC Cursor cannot read, such as toolbar information. The mouse follows along with the JAWS Cursor when it is moved, and you therefore have access to information in an application window that is beyond the scope of the PC Cursor. To activate the JAWS Cursor, press NUM PAD MINUS. The Virtual PC Cursor - HTML Environment The virtual PC Cursor mimics the functions of the PC Cursor, but is activated by default when entering an HTML document. The virtual PC Cursor speaks the number of frames in a document, and the number of links in the frame. You can switch between frames, and JAWS reads graphics labeled by alt tags in the HTML code. Invisible Cursor The JAWS cursor is basically the mouse cursor that is visible on screen. The invisible cursor can be moved around just like the JAWS cursor to view information. It works like the mouse cursor but can not be seen on screen or effect objects. Therefore you can not use the NumPad / (left mouse click) or NumPad * (right mouse click) on an object. It is useful to read information without disturbing the mouse cursor. It is also useful to determine colors or whatever might change when the mouse is over an object. It will not cause ToolTips to pop up. Insert + Jaws cursor key, = Moves / routes the Jaws cursor to the PC cursor. Take care.

Re: [Blind-Computing] how do i restore my pc back 1 week?
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 or a complete description, ask here. I can furnish one but I don't know if you need it and I would have to go through the procedure up to the point just before the restore point runs to make sure I am giving fully accurate information about the procedure. One thing to keep in mind is to use alt n for next once you do something such as choose a restore point. then look at the next screen to see what has happened and. If what has happeneed is satisfactory, you can move to the next screen with alt n. And one more point. You will find, when you are looking at the available restore point or points, something like this: The date will be shown and a number of down arrows below it, you will see the time and a description of the restore point such as System checkpoint. Press enter on the item to select it. You can just be on the line and it will be selected. You'll know if it is selected because JAWS will repeat it when you press enter. Also, if you then do alt n, you will move to a screen verifying the choice you made. You may see more than one restore point if you look down the screen a few lines below the first one.

Applies to all editions of Windows 7. Burn a CD or DVD in Windows Explorer If your computer has a CD or DVD burner, you can copy files to a writable disc. This process is called burning a disc. Windows burns discs in the Live File System format or in the Mastered format, depending on which disc format you choose.

The following procedures explain how to use Windows Explorer to burn a data disc (a type of disc that is useful for storing, archiving, and sharing files among different computers and devices). If you want to create other types of discs, such as a DVD-Video disc (to play in a regular DVD player) or an audio CD (to play in a regular CD player), you’ll need to use a different program or feature of Windows. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/burn-a-cd-or-dvd-in-windows-explorer -Original Message- From: blind-computing-boun...@jaws-users.com [mailto:blind-computing-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Tom Sent: Monday, June 18, 2012 3:48 PM To: blind-computing@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] anyone use the Windows 7 default CD burnner?

[Blind-Computing] help using roxio 9
hi, i've used jaws now for 9 years, and actually learned it on my own, but i think i need some help from someone familiar with burnning a cd with roxio 9. i went on line searching for some help for burnning a cd for the blind, and found a detailed list of instructions that were given for wmp 10, and was hoping i could get the same for roxio 9? i've asked friends for help, but even though they all know i'm blind, their help isn't exactly what i need, due to the fact that doing it by sight, is a great deal different most times with a screen reader. hope someone can help me, so that i can burn saved audio books to a mp3 cd. thank you, tom clary memphis, tn, 38002 For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
