Re: [JAWS-Users] Spell Check in MS Word 2016
This is good news because the earlier versions of Spell Check in 2016 did not work that way. They went bac to F7 andtabbing and that should be good news. I'll have to check it out.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws Error;
Hi David, On May 17, using JAWS 2018, I encountered the " unable to complete repair, repair failed." Message. I contacted FS Support who asked me to send them the JAWS log files. I sent them to FS on May 17th. The support person told me that the problem was to be sent to their escalations team for resolution. I haven't heard a thing from them since. I would suggest you contact FS Support and see if you get any further than I did.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Safe To Remove Hardware Message, Possible Fix
Hi Sharon, Well, I went to check my Windows 10computer, and I don't have that showing any more either! LOL Beats the heck out of me where it went, but below are the steps I used to make Jaws report the safe to remove message. I know the steps below work in Windows 10 Pro, but I don't know if they'll work in other versions of Windows 10. Thanks again to, Fernando, for the steps below: From: Fernando Gregoire Hi Mike and all, If the confirmation message appears on the screen but JAWS is not saying it, perhaps it's helpful to know that in Windows 10 balloons was replaced with toasts, which like notifications in the Action Center are handled by the ShellExperienceHost process, too unstable like most UWP apps and areas, unfortunately increasing. JAWS 17 and newer have a verbosity setting concerning Windows 10 notifications, but it is not as accurate as balloon reading, which was being developed since Windows XP. If you have Windows 10 Pro, there's a group policy which allows to use balloons instead of new toast notifications. Try the steps below: 1. Press WINDOWS+R, type the following and then press ENTER: gpedit.msc 2. In the Tree view arrow down to, User Configuration, right arrow to open, down arrow to, Administrative Templates, right arrow to open, down arrow to, Start Menu and Taskbar. 3. When you reach Start Menu and Taskbar, tab to the list view. In the list view, find the following policy: Disable showing balloon notifications as toasts 4. Press ENTER to open the properties of this policy, tab to the group of radio buttons and change from, Not Configured, to, Enabled, tab to, Okay, and press enter. 5. When finished, restart the computer for this change to take effect. By the way, File Explorer and other system and third-party apps which previously shown balloons will do that exactly as in prior Windows versions, including JAWS ability to simulate a left mouse click. Hope it helps!

Re: [JAWS-Users] Spell Check in MS Word 2016
Annette, As in previous versions, JAWS key+c still reads the spell-checked word in context when you're in Word 2016. However, when in an Outlook 2016 email, it doesn't. In that case, the "say line" command works. I'm having no problem getting spell-check to accept "c" on my system, and I'm not experiencing any delays involving JAWS and spell-checker. I have Windows 7, latest release of JAWS 2018 and, again, Office 2016. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List On Behalf Of amca...@verizon.net Sent: Tuesday, June 05, 2018 7:30 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Spell Check in MS Word 2016 Spell check in Word is a bit tempormental.

First, spell-checker does work in Word 2016, but it operates a little differently. For example, to accept a changed spelling, I press the letter "c" alone instead of alt-c. MS Word 2016 calls the alt key in this context an "accelerator." Second, you can stop Word from making corrections as you type. Press alt-f, then t, then arrow down to "proofing." From here, you tab through the options. I suggest tabbing through all of them to find out what they are before you start making changes. Note: Although Word on my system requires that I not use the alt key when using the spell-checker, spell-checker works as before when I'm in Outlook 2016. I have Outlook set to use Word when I write messages, so it's possible there are settings in Word that I haven't explored. But except for the alt key and some other variations, I find Word 2016's spell-checker works just fine. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List On Behalf Of wayne smith Sent: Monday, June 04, 2018 7:08 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] Spell Check in MS Word 2016 Hello all- I had the chance to try out a PC with Windows 10 and Ms Word 2016 and when I tried using the Spell Check feature, which used to be a simple task, it was a mess for me.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws delay
I've had a number of issues with the responsiveness of JAWS on my Dell. A technician updated the RealTech driver to the latest, and it did not fix all of the problems. We resorted to changing to the generic sound card driver and there were significant improvements. However in the past 2 weeks after there was some type of update, I'm having all sorts of problems with JAWS being clipped, the volume jumping all over the place, and little crackling noises. I just have not had the time to get someone to check out the sound card driver situation.
