Hi Miriam,
I am really jammed right now until the end of the month or I would research
this out for you.  I will save your email and at end of next week if it is
still an issue I will see if I can resolve it for you.
Meanwhile, 1.) how did you get that "To Miriam" folder and  2.) are all of
your new emails going there instead of into your Inbox?

Hi Miriam,
Not sure about your many issues but the multiple copies of emails is not
Outlook's fault.  
That is something happening with your email provider.  I would call their
tech support and ask them to help with your receiving multiple copies of
emails.
Also, do you know the difference between your email being set up as iMap or
POP3?  By default Outlook likes to set up nowadays as iMap and if you do not
have your email on a cell phone you should be using POP3.  Ask your email
provider about that as well.  Also ask them to help you set your Outlook to
delete messages off their server once downloaded.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Permanent placemarkers

[Adrian Spratt]

Yes, it would defeat the object if you set a placemarker and kept text that is 
certain to change.

From this exchange, I hope other listers will have found a few ways to make 
their placemarkers more reliable. When they were introduced many years ago, I 
thought they were one of those new FS features that didn't do much to merit the 
SMA update fee, but they've turned out to be a crucial part of Web navigation 
for me.

Hi Adrian,

Yes, Spanish JAWS versions fill this edit box automatically too, but I usually 
change this automatic text a bit, especially by making deletions.
As an example, in a website in which articles aren't marked with headings nor 
regions, I added a placemarker into the line it tells the estimated reading 
time.
When I first added this placemarker, the automatically generated text included 
the specific time of the article I opened at that time, for example: “Estimated 
reading time: 6 minutes”.
To make the placemarker helpful for all articles, in addition to checking the 
box to apply this placemarker for all pages in the current domain, in the 
automatically generated text I removed everything after the colon.

You surely also keep this in mind when creating a placemarker, but I never 
needed to mark a place in which there is a link to make the placemarker to be 
reliable. The only case in which I had bad experiences was visiting a 
previously placemarked page but using a different web browser than the one used 
when I created the placemarkers. I suppose this is somewhat related to the 
Responsive Web Design about which Freedom Scientific posted on their blog at 
the end of 2017, but I had problems even on very standard HTMLs.

Hope it helps!

Yes, Fernando, and I usually check that box. To add to what you write here, 
when you check the "anchor to text" box, a new tab field appears with the text 
JAWS detects at that location. This is the edit field you refer to, but (as I'm 
sure you know) it isn't blank. You have a choice of keeping  that text or, as 
you suggest, typing in something different. However, I can't quite see why one 
would write something different. Regardless, this "anchor to text" option in 
the dialog can help in maintaining the placemarker but, in my experience, it is 
no guarantee. Even if the Website designer keeps the same text there, I've 
found that a text-associated placemarker isn't necessarily reliable unless it 
is also associated with a link. 

It sounds as though your experience might be different. I wonder, for example, 
if the Spanish version of JAWS doesn't fill in the edit field. 

I should mention that I haven't read anywhere about this link relationship. 
It's just something I noticed over time.

Hi Adrian,

Have you looked at the Associate with Text checkbox? When adding a placemarker 
this checkbox is unchecked by default, so you mark a line in the virtual 
representation instead of a specific text, therefore any small change on the 
page causes the link or whatever unit you have marked to be misslocated.
If you know a string of text that the part you want to mark always have 
regardless of changes, you can check this checkbox, tab once and enter the 
corresponding part of text. By the way, you will always reach the same element 
as long as the string of text you have associated to the placemarker is 
present, no matter of the line number.

Hope it helps!

Earlier this week, Justin commented that placemarkers don't always hold their 
place, which is true. However, I've found that they are dependable when I put 
them on a link. Sometimes it means putting it a line or two away from a logical 
spot, but I think they've been stable every time I do this.
As a reminder, the dialog to set a permanent placemarker is begun with 
control-shift-k. Tab from there.

I was listening to Jaws while the disabilities tech was setting things up
and I'm sure I heard pop 3. As for my internet service provider, that is
Optimum and they are infamously unhelpful. But I will say that the last time
I had multiple copies, I was using Outlook 2003, which I loved, and the
multiple copies were a sign that it was corrupted. Since Microsoft no longer
supported office 2003, I had to change to office 365. I would have stayed
with 2003 forever if I could have.

provider about that as well.  Also ask them to help you set your Outlook to
delete messages off their server once downloaded.

Well, Outlook is a mess. I have multiple copies of the same message some of
the time, I can't get to the emails sent to the, "to Miriam", folder, I
can't address emails unless I have the email address stored in a word
document which I've kept with some addresses or if I can steal an address

don't do all that well with technology. I'm old. My hearing isn't great. I

Miriam, no, the problem isn't with JAWS 18, at least none of the ones you
identify. I'm also using Outlook 2016, along with Windows 7. 
I have bad experiences with Microsoft Disability support, unless the problem
turns out to be really simple, in which case I don't need them! I'll only
call them as a last resort, and even then I've had to find someone else to
fix the damage they do.

I'm wondering if there is a problem with Jaws 18 and Outlook 2016 because
the Microsoft disabilities tech person thought that this might be causing my
difficulty. Outlook stopped functioning. When I called, the first person set
up a new profile in Outlook, whatever that is. But then the problem
actdually persisted. Outlook would open, begin to work, and then stop
functioning. I called again. The second tech person replaced all of office
365, promising that all the settings would remain the same. They didn't. But
the other problem is that everything worked except the, "to Miriam", folder
to which all my important emails go. That one continues to close. I asked
him to remove that folder for me and set things up so that everything goes
to the inbox, but he refused. Also, I can't address emails. Auto complete
doesn't work properly and unrelated email addresses appear, even if I just
try to write in an address. I managed to get to the address book one time,
but couldn't use it to address  an email. I'm sending this because I can
read emails from my inbox and use one of the email addresses  from that.
Microsoft is having someone from a higher level call back on Monday. Before
that happens, I want to know if anyone who is still using Jaws 18 and is
using Outlook 2016   has had a similar problem.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Permanent placemarkers

[Fernando Gregoire]

Hi Adrian,

Yes, Spanish JAWS versions fill this edit box automatically too, but I usually 
change this automatic text a bit, especially by making deletions.
As an example, in a website in which articles aren't marked with headings nor 
regions, I added a placemarker into the line it tells the estimated reading 
time.
When I first added this placemarker, the automatically generated text included 
the specific time of the article I opened at that time, for example: “Estimated 
reading time: 6 minutes”.
To make the placemarker helpful for all articles, in addition to checking the 
box to apply this placemarker for all pages in the current domain, in the 
automatically generated text I removed everything after the colon.

You surely also keep this in mind when creating a placemarker, but I never 
needed to mark a place in which there is a link to make the placemarker to be 
reliable. The only case in which I had bad experiences was visiting a 
previously placemarked page but using a different web browser than the one used 
when I created the placemarkers. I suppose this is somewhat related to the 
Responsive Web Design about which Freedom Scientific posted on their blog at 
the end of 2017, but I had problems even on very standard HTMLs.

Hope it helps!

Yes, Fernando, and I usually check that box. To add to what you write here, 
when you check the "anchor to text" box, a new tab field appears with the text 
JAWS detects at that location. This is the edit field you refer to, but (as I'm 
sure you know) it isn't blank. You have a choice of keeping  that text or, as 
you suggest, typing in something different. However, I can't quite see why one 
would write something different. Regardless, this "anchor to text" option in 
the dialog can help in maintaining the placemarker but, in my experience, it is 
no guarantee. Even if the Website designer keeps the same text there, I've 
found that a text-associated placemarker isn't necessarily reliable unless it 
is also associated with a link. 

It sounds as though your experience might be different. I wonder, for example, 
if the Spanish version of JAWS doesn't fill in the edit field. 

I should mention that I haven't read anywhere about this link relationship. 
It's just something I noticed over time.

Hi Adrian,

Have you looked at the Associate with Text checkbox? When adding a placemarker 
this checkbox is unchecked by default, so you mark a line in the virtual 
representation instead of a specific text, therefore any small change on the 
page causes the link or whatever unit you have marked to be misslocated.
If you know a string of text that the part you want to mark always have 
regardless of changes, you can check this checkbox, tab once and enter the 
corresponding part of text. By the way, you will always reach the same element 
as long as the string of text you have associated to the placemarker is 
present, no matter of the line number.

Hope it helps!

After more than a decade driving my HP Scanjet 8300, it finally quit

replacement, I went with the Plustech Optibook A300. Not only does it

Hi Miriam,
I am using Windows 10, Office 365 and JAWS18.
I had a somewhat similar issue but it was caused by the fact that I had a
new computer and ended up on Dell's 90day free trial of Office Suite.  It
was terrible until I discovered that my Office 365 was not installed.  Once
we got that fixed things are working "normal" in my Outlook 2016.
BTW-When I called Microsoft Accessibility line the tech solved HALF of my
problem but not the rest.  That is not altogether uncommon there.  Then I
called COX, my ISP provider where I pay for tech help, and that guy though
willing solved nothing.  Finally my son and I figured out the remaining
issues and now all is well.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws & Word 2016

[Sharon S]

Hi, sorry coming in late on this but slowly catching up on a huge pile of
emails. I too have had this problem with allot of my documents. I looked
into the font setting  and all looked fine so I got a sighted family member
to look at one of my documents and all was fine. I have bought this up with
someone from VFO and was told it was going to be fixed in the next update
but that was months ago and so far no fix. I am using Jaws 18 on this
machine but haven't checked the same documents on the machine running Jawx
2018. At first I thought it was something funny with my machine until I
mentioned it to this VFO person and I am now glad to see there are others
reporting the same thing.

Hopefully it will be fixed soon.

Hi Mike,

Based on what I have figured out, the black on black announcement from JAWS
is not accurate.  Visually it is black on white.  I have not played with
actual font colors and backgrounds to see how JAWS reports seeing the
colors, but I have found that using the "highlighter" JAWS accurately
reports the highlight color and the text as being black.  I wasted a lot of
time trying to figure this out and got nowhere.  I finally snagged a
co-worker who was walking by my office and borrowed their eyes.  They
reported that everything looked fine on the screen as well as when I printed
it out.  I've not checked any of this out in Excel.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws 18 and Outlook 2016

[Adrian Spratt]

Miriam, no, the problem isn't with JAWS 18, at least none of the ones you 
identify. I'm also using Outlook 2016, along with Windows 7. 
I have bad experiences with Microsoft Disability support, unless the problem 
turns out to be really simple, in which case I don't need them! I'll only call 
them as a last resort, and even then I've had to find someone else to fix the 
damage they do.

I'm wondering if there is a problem with Jaws 18 and Outlook 2016 because the 
Microsoft disabilities tech person thought that this might be causing my 
difficulty. Outlook stopped functioning. When I called, the first person set up 
a new profile in Outlook, whatever that is. But then the problem actdually 
persisted. Outlook would open, begin to work, and then stop functioning. I 
called again. The second tech person replaced all of office 365, promising that 
all the settings would remain the same. They didn't. But the other problem is 
that everything worked except the, "to Miriam", folder to which all my 
important emails go. That one continues to close. I asked him to remove that 
folder for me and set things up so that everything goes to the inbox, but he 
refused. Also, I can't address emails. Auto complete doesn't work properly and 
unrelated email addresses appear, even if I just try to write in an address. I 
managed to get to the address book one time, but couldn't use it to address an 
email. I'm sending this because I can read emails from my inbox and use one of 
the email addresses  from that.
Microsoft is having someone from a higher level call back on Monday. Before 
that happens, I want to know if anyone who is still using Jaws 18 and is
using Outlook 2016   has had a similar problem.

they are not designed for computer speakers. I just ordered a $30 card from
