[JAWS-Users] Installing CdEx

[Dan Kerstetter]

Hello all.

 

I've found the latest version of CdEx which is 1.91.  How can I keep the
installer from installing unwanted software which is bundled with it?  I
tried using both the JAWS and touch cursor to change this, but was unable
to.

 

I would appreciate any suggestions about how to fix this, as I like CdEx.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Dan

Hello.

The keystroke for creating a new folder is control shift e.  Get to the
place in outlook where you want the folder to be and create it by using the
above keystroke.\

Hello listers,

 

Latest version of Windows 10, latest version of jfw and office lifetime
2016. I want to create a folder in Outlook. When I tab to the left away from
my messages I land into menus. When I use my up and down arrows, I suddenly
land in a search field. I cannot get to my list of folder in order to create
a new one. I can get to my folders with the hotkey control-y, but then I
cannot create a folder.

 

Thank you in advance.

Re: [JAWS-Users] questions about office 365 repost

I can only answer one of your questions.

You can share your subscription with anyone whether they live with you or
not.

I'm using JAWS 18 with Office 365 and it works reasonably well.

Good Morning,

I posted this question a few days ago and got no response, so I thought I
would try one more time.

Can someone explain to me the differences between Office 365 home, Office
365 personal and what a key card is? 

Also, if there are 5 subscriptions, do the people sharing the subscriptions
have to be in the same household? I have a friend who lives in a different
town and I am wondering if I can share the subscription with her on her
computer and mobile devices, even though she is not living with me.

I also would like to know how the different versions, home, personal, etc.
work with JAWS. I have JAWS 14 and 18.


Thanks.

Re: [JAWS-Users] SMA Renewal Question

Hello, everyone.

   

My intent with this e-mail is not to stir up controversy, but to try to get
the truth regarding upgrading a Jjaws SMA.

 

Here's my situation:

 

My current Jaws SMA ends with Jaws 18.

 

I recently received a mail notification from Freedom Scientific advising me
that I can renew my Jaws SMA for the next two Jaws upgrades for $120, as
long as I do so by December 31.  In a followup conversation with the FS
Customer Service Department, I was told that if I wait to renew my SMA after
December 31, that cost will go up to $180.

 

I was always under the impression that the $120 SMA renewal cost figure
would be the same as long as you renewed your SMA prior to the next major
Jaws update.

 

Perhaps I am mistaken here, and wonder what others know about this issue.

 

I may not be able to renew my SMA prior to December 31, and just want to
know what to expect, or how to advocate for a fair price.

 

Thanks!

JAWS has some scrolling problems in outlook 2016--at least it's been that

You might be better off pressing shift end or home to select all your

Hope this helps a little.

When I'm in my inbox or any other folder, and hit Control+A to select all

This only occurs when I'm selecting all messages in an Outlook folder.  It

For me, this behavior started with Windows 10 and JAWS 17.  Anyone else

[JAWS-Users] Scrolling through Messages in Outlook 2016

[Dan Kerstetter]

Hello all.

 

I'm using Outlook 2016 and JAWS 17.  When I check my email, I always scroll
through; read and save what I want and delete the rest of the messages after
I'm finished going through them all.

 

Ever since I mistakenly updated to Office 2016, I've noticed that JAWS or
Outlook is freezing and I'm unable to continue scrolling.  The only way to
fix this is to close Outlook, reopen it and find where I left off.

 

If anyone else is experiencing this and has a fix, I'd love to hear about
