Re: [JAWS-Users] loosing focus in Outlook

[Kurt Miller]

Mr. Ed,
I am also having this problem. Currently using 2010, windows 8.1 jaws 16. So
it tells me that it is a microsoft issue.

Hi Tom,
I am trying to figure out if it's a jaws issues or a windows 10 issue. I am
thinking it has something to do with W10 as I have been running Jaws 18 in
the beta and it never started happening until about two windows update's
ago.

Hi Everyone,

Has anyone had an email open in Outlook and then your focus goes back to the
inbox? Then if I do a alt+tab it will go back to the email I had open. I
have had this happen maybe once or twice a day. Has anyone else had this
issue. This just started doing this about one or two months ago.

Well, please keep us posted as you learn more, because I believe that a

well it interfaces with Jaws.

Hi Annette,

Hope you & yours had a lovely Thanksgiving.  This isn't an answer to your

While in Word, if you go to Tools, Options, Advanced tab there is a checkbox
that you can uncheck, prompt before saving normal template.  If you uncheck
this checkbox, any changes to the normal template will be saved
automatically without bringing up that dialogue.  While on the Advance Tab,
Alt + O, is the keystroke that will get you there more quickly.  Note:  you
may have to invoke the Alt + O keystroke more than once to get you there.
Then, tab to okay, press the spacebar to save your changes & close options.

Take care.

Re: [JAWS-Users] loosing focus in Outlook

[Al Sorrentino]

Hi Everyone,

I have Outlook 10, JAWS 13 and Windows 7, and I have been having some
problems with my Outlook program lately.  I recently installed Skype and I
thought it was giving my Outlook program some problems.  What happens to me
is that when I click on to the Outlook program it does not go into the
program quickly and sometimes I lose focus.  Also, sometimes when I am in
Outlook, the JAWS stops talking and I need to start over.  I have had these
programs for many, many years and never had a problem until I installed
Skype.  I wonder if it is the Skype program that it is causing this?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws 17, Word 2016 and footers

[Jason White]

The "link to previous" button that unlinks sections is in the Navigation group
of the Design tab when you're in the footer field. It's straight after
"previous" and "next" in the tab sequence. JAWS reads it correctly and
indicates whether it is checked.

I think you probably have corrupt files somewhere on your system, or an
outdated version of Microsoft Word 2016. If you don't have any luck in
tracking down the issue, try contacting whoever can provide you with either

Re: [JAWS-Users] Audacity

[David Bailes]

Hi Kevin,
you say that your playback device is intel display audio. This is for
sending audio along a hdmi connection, so I assume that your speakers are
in or attached to your display.
If this is the case, then if you want to record "what you hear" in audacity
then in the devices section of preferences set:
1. host combo box to windows wasapi.
2. playback device combo box to intel display audio.
3. recording device combo box to intel display audio (loopback).
4. channels combo box to 2 (stereo).

David.

original message:
would I select my sound card as my playback device instead of my speakers high
definition audio?

my sound card is   dell st24 21 l intell r display audio

Re: [JAWS-Users] Question about the normal.dotm

[Annette Carr]

Hi Mike,

Why do I want to save the changes to the normal template?  What is it that I
could have done to cause the program to prompt me to save it?  As far as I
know, I did not make any changes that I am aware of.

Thanks,
Annette

Hi Annette,

Hope you & yours had a lovely Thanksgiving.  This isn't an answer to your
question, but how to stop that annoying message.

While in Word, if you go to Tools, Options, Advanced tab there is a checkbox
that you can uncheck, prompt before saving normal template.  If you uncheck
this checkbox, any changes to the normal template will be saved
automatically without bringing up that dialogue.  While on the Advance Tab,
Alt + O, is the keystroke that will get you there more quickly.  Note:  you
may have to invoke the Alt + O keystroke more than once to get you there.
Then, tab to okay, press the spacebar to save your changes & close options.

Take care.
Mike

Hello All,



Can anyone tell me why when I close MS-Word2010 with Alt+F4I get a message
that tells me that changes have been made to the Normal Template and would I
like to save.  I always tell it "Don't Save".  Is this the most appropriate
action?



Thanks,

Annette

[JAWS-Users] Slecting two or more placeholders in powerpoint 2013

[Teresa Arroyo Llosa]

Hello Guys:

Using windows 8.1, Jaws 16 and PowerPoint 2013.

As the subject says I wonder if there is a way to select two or more 
boxes/placeholders in PoerPoint, in order to apply modifications (color, 
letter, etc.) I tried using F5, but couldn’t get to the ribbons.

I also would like to know if there is a way that Jaws would verbalize slide 
efects, like reflexion, ilumination, shades, etc.

I am doing an online urse in this software, and others, and am having some 
trouble in this issues. According to the course tutor the way to select two or 
more placeholders would be pressing control key with the left button of the 
mouse; this is the sighted way. How is this done with Jaws?

Thank you in advance.

Best regards,

Teresa Arroyo Llosa

[JAWS-Users] loosing focus in Outlook

[Mr. Ed]

Hi Everyone,

Has anyone had an email open in Outlook and then your focus goes back to the
inbox? Then if I do a alt+tab it will go back to the email I had open. I
have had this happen maybe once or twice a day. Has anyone else had this
issue. This just started doing this about one or two months ago.

I am using Jaws 18, Outlook 2010 and W10

[JAWS-Users] Strange E-mail Issue

[Tom Behler]

Hello, everyone.

 

This morning, I have discovered a very strange e-mail issue that I could use
some help with.

 

As a bit of background:

 

I currently run two e-mail accounts through Outlook 2016.  They are my
University e-mail account, and my personal g-mail account.

 

When I send an e-mail to a particular e-mail address in my g-mail account
through Outlook, I get the following error message:

 

Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:

 

 

Technical details of permanent failure: 

Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the server for
the recipient domain by d105412a.ess.barracudanetworks.com.
[64.235.150.252].

 

The error that the other server returned was:

550 Service unavailable; Client host [mail-io0-f173.google.com] blocked by
zen.spamhaus.org; 24.231.151.149 

 

(Note:  I have deleted the e-mail address from the message in order to
protect the person's privacy.)

 

I have no problems at all sending an e-mail to this exact same address using
my University e-mail account and outlook.

 

This would lead me to believe that something is wrong with my g-mail
account, but I can't figure out what, or how to fix it, especially since I
know the e-mail address I'm using is accurate.

 

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

 

Dr.  Tom Behler from Michigan
