[JAWS-Users] web ciber

2016-11-09 Thread Karim Lakhani
Hi all,
A friend is using jaws 18 and wants to know if any has used it?
Or if it's accessible.
The company will be switching to this new platform.
Any ideas?

Yes, and there is a blind audible list. I think it is at yahoo. I
no longer have the subscription information but I think it just

Re: [JAWS-Users] internet explorer 11

2016-11-09 Thread Dialup

Hello Miriam
I'm not saying it's been 'dropped', rather it is no longer supported 
which at the moment probably means IE 11 still works most of the time, 
but in the very near future, my opinion is that it will become less 
stable across the internet as web page devs stop maintaining code 
specifically designed to account for IE idiosyncrasies.

Re: [JAWS-Users] internet explorer 11

2016-11-09 Thread Jason White
Yes, Microsoft have shifted their browser development efforts to Edge.
Internet Explorer does not meet current Web standards, which Web application
developers will increasingly rely on. The result is that everyone who wants to
use any kind of complex Web application (and there will be more of them every
year) will need to move away from Internet Explorer.

I'm not saying "don't use it", but I am saying that you'll need to switch to
something else eventually, and it's up to you when to do it. There's Firefox,
Chrome, and Edge - plenty of options. Accessibility in Edge is still under
development, but Microsoft made an encouraging announcement about their
progress earlier this year.

Over time, Web application programmers won't bother dealing with all the
work-arounds needed for compatibility with Internet Explorer. Web technology
moves on, leaving IE behind.

2016-11-09 Thread Scorpio
Basically, what he's trying to say in a very subtle way is that you should 
use Firefox and not Internet Explorer.


I don't understand why, as Internet Explorer is very usable and secure, and 
only dangerous activity will net you trouble, especially if you've got an 
anti-virus and malware program.


I really wish people would stop doing that, suggesting people use what makes 
them comfortable even though there would be a very high learning curve for 
novice users.


If the answer is there are no updates, then there are no updates and move 
on.  Sorry, this sort of post irks me to no end.

You might call the Microsoft Accessibility desk at 800-936-5900.  The first

I've called 3 other times and now nothing downloads..nothing even shows in the

Re: [JAWS-Users] checking for updates is stuck in windows 8.1

2016-11-09 Thread Adrian Spratt
I just installed the current Windows Updates with no problem. I'm using Windows 
7, so I'm not sure this will help Anna's 8.1 system, but maybe the approach is 
similar. Or maybe this won't help at all. At any rate:

In recent months, I've found that accessing Windows Updates via the system tray 
has changed. I must locate the windows Updates within the system tray, then 
press enter. Nothing happens, so I tab twice. Now I'm in a list that's similar 
to the system tray list, but now it's presented as a series of buttons. I arrow 
down to the Windows Updates button and once again press enter. Now at last, the 
updates function starts working. 

You can check the update and installation process by pressing JAWS key+tab. 
Sometimes, I completely lose the updates window, which means I need to go back 
into the system tray and repeat the tabbing process. 

In this instance, once windows Updates had finished installing an update, 
nothing happened. I went back into the system tray to find that another update 
was waiting. So I repeated the process. Finally, I got the restart button.

Hi, Norma. I can think of two ways of answering your question. If you want to 
stop someone from tampering with your document, that's one thing. However, it's 
always possible for someone to copy the text and paste it into a separate file 
once they have access to that text.

On how to protect the file from someone else making changes, I hope you'll find 
a good answer from the following page of Google search results:

Hi group,

I'm using MS Word 2010. I realize how easy it is to disable protected view on a 
document. So what do I do if I really need to limit a document I've written and 
need to send to someone else to  "read only"? 

Thanks,
Norma

[JAWS-Users] Playback and visualization options in VLC for windows with JAWS

2016-11-09 Thread Dujari, Prateek
Hi gang.
Using Win8.1, Win7 on two machines and JFW 18. How do you toggle on/off the 
shuffle play and repeat play option while playing a folder of mp3 files?
Second, is there any keyboard accessible way with JAWS to scroll up/down all 
the mp3 songs playing in my playlist and then choosing anyone in the list to 
start playing that one with JAWS.  Is there a recommended visualization 
setting? ? For example, in Windows Media Player you can arrow key up or down 
amongst the song list while they are loaded to play and hitting enter on any 
one of them interrupts current playback and starts to play the new song.

Thx
Prateek

It is also in the file menu so you don't have to manually find it with the Jaws 
cursor.
Alt + F then i then E.
If your office is like mine though the focus shifts and this doesn't work as it 
should so I have to press Alt + F then tab 3 or 4 times to get to the button.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Moving from JAWS 17 to 18

2016-11-09 Thread Andy Baracco
You do not need to uninstall the previous JAWS version first. Multiple 
versions of JAWS can coexist on the same system. In fact, you won't want to 
because JAWS 18 has reintroduced the merge utility, even though that didn't 
work for me.

It is never required to remove the previous version of JAWS before 
installing a newer version. The reason is they always install in to their 
own directories for major versions.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Moving from JAWS 17 to 18

2016-11-09 Thread Jim Pursley
I find it helpful to maintain the two most recent JAWS versions on my 
system, the older one as a back up.  As such, I would keep J17 and 
install J18 "over" it.  If you maintain J17 at least until you install 
J18 your  J17 settings will be preserved if you so elect.
