Re: [JAWS-Users] question about word 2010 and Jaws 13?
Hi Susie q, Don't confuse compatibility mode with protected view mode. Compatibility mode just means that Word 2010 is letting you open a file from an earlier version of Word. You can still edit the document and save it as usual. JAWS just reads the title bar when opening the document and so you hear that it is being opened in compatibility mode. You don't have to save it in the new format. If all you are wanting to do is transfer the edited file to your Stream then you might as well just leave it in the .DOC format. On the other hand if there are features in Word 2010 that you want to use that weren't available in the earlier versions of Word then you might want to use the newer format. The compatibility mode is not the same as the protected mode and it is not a safety feature. If Word thinks a document might be from an unsafe source then it will open in protected view, which is like a sandboxed area. Documents from programs using the Internet zone are examples of documents opened in protected view. You don't need to worry about documents opened in compatibility mode so if all you are wanting to do is put them on the Stream you really don't need to use the newer format. Take care.

Susie, When you talk about adding it to the Stream, what do you mean, the Victor Stream? When you open any document, you can always select save-as and save it as a different version. I thought you were wanting to make all your documents in Word 2010 in the old .doc format. - Original Message - From: Susie q To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Sunday, September 02, 2012 1:39 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] question about word 2010 and Jaws 13?

Re: [JAWS-Users] question about word 2010 and Jaws 13?
Hi Susie q, If you use Humanware Companion you can transfer the .DOC file and it should be automatically changed to a HTML file. You won't need to save it in a different format in Word if you use that program. Choose the Text Files menu item under the Transfer menu. Browse to the location of the .DOC file on the computer and check it for transfer with the spacebar. Use the Transfer button to start the transfer. There will be a dialog box letting you know when the transfer is finished. The file should be changed to a HTML file in your Text File library. Write me off line if you need any more help with using Humanware Companion to transfer your .DOC files. Take care.

Hi Susie q, Don't confuse compatibility mode with protected view mode. Compatibility mode just means that Word 2010 is letting you open a file from an earlier version of Word. You can still edit the document and save it as usual. JAWS just reads the title bar when opening the document and so you hear that it is being opened in compatibility mode. You don't have to save it in the new format. If all you are wanting to do is transfer the edited file to your Stream then you might as well just leave it in the .DOC format. On the other hand if there are features in Word 2010 that you want to use that weren't available in the earlier versions of Word then you might want to use the newer format. The compatibility mode is not the same as the protected mode and it is not a safety feature. If Word thinks a document might be from an unsafe source then it will open in protected view, which is like a sandboxed area. Documents from programs using the Internet zone are examples of documents opened in protected view. You don't need to worry about documents opened in compatibility mode so if all you are wanting to do is put them on the Stream you really don't need to use the newer format. Take care.

Re: [JAWS-Users] question about word 2010 and Jaws 13?
Hello SusieQ, Word 2010 uses Compatibility Mode to maintain compatibility with earlier versions of Word. If you get a document from a person that was created in an earlier version of Word or you open a document you created in an earlier version of Word the word compatibility appears in the title bar. JAWS reads the title bar of a document when you open it and so you hear the fact that the document was created with an earlier version of Word but has been made compatible for you. Documents created in Word 2010 are stored in an open XML format. Documents created in Word 2003 or earlier were stored in a binary format so in order to open them in Word 2010 Microsoft uses the compatibility mode. If a file has a .DOC extension it will open in compatibility mode. Even documents with a .DOCX extension created in Word 2007 could open in compatibility mode because some of the features of Word 2010 were not supported in Word 2007 such as some text effects and OpenType typographic features). Headings in Word are styles. A style consists of such things as the type of font, font size, font color, character spacing, etc. A heading 1 style in word 2010 uses a Cambria font size 14 and is a blue color. The heading 2 is the same except the font is one point smaller and is a 13-point Cambria font. The normal style in Word uses a size 11 Calibri font with a black foreground color. If each chapter in your file starts with text in a heading 2 style then you can quickly move from chapter to chapter by browsing by heading. You can list headings by using JAWS key with function key 6, using up or down arrow to the heading to jump to and pressing enter key. You could also choose to move between only heading 2 text by going into navigation quick keys using JAWS key with Z and then pressing the number 2 to move to next heading or shift with 2 to move to previous heading 2 in your document. When using the navigation quick keys you are working in a read-only mode so you will need to use JAWS key with Z to return to editing mode. You can also use function key 6 in Word 2010 and move to the Search pane. Use the browse by heading tab of the pane and use tab key to the list of headings to browse. However, you will likely find it easier to use the JAWS navigation quick keys or by listing headings with JAWS key and f6. The Part 1 text that you are hearing must be text at the top of your document indicating that you are starting with the first part of a document. You likely have Part 2 and additional parts through the document. One part might have a few chapters in it. Take care.
