[JAWS-Users] thanks. plusa 2016 outlook question
Dear List: Thanks to those replying to my queries. How do I reply to someone on the list without it going to the entire list? I cannot figure how to read the sender's email address character by character so I can replace the group address with the single person's address. I tried an alt-enter to get to properties, but it must have been the wrong properties because it only had the general tab in it. Would you please tell me the keystrokes involved and where each step should take me to get to those address headers. Thanks.

[JAWS-Users] how do you stop automatic audio from web sites
Dear List: When I go on some web sites, they may start playing commercials, music, and videos. How do I stop the audio so that I can read through the web site with jaws so that jaws is not drowned out with these distractions? Thanks.

[JAWS-Users] can pdf be made to be more readable?
Dear List: Years ago, I would read tax forms from the federal I r s that were in pdf format. They were quite readable if they were not too lengthy. I mention this, because I receive pdf documents from various persons that are not very readable at all; parts of lines are connected to other parts of lines. In order for me to read them, I ask them to convert them into Microsoft Word. Are there steps they can take with these pdf documents, whether image or character documents, to make them just as readable as the aforesaid I r s documents? Or, is converting the document to Word the easiest approach for them to take? Thanks for any ideas and clarifications.

[JAWS-Users] Thanks For All Of Your Replies
Thanks for all of your replies concerning my two Outlook questions. Regards: Ted Larson For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
[JAWS-Users] two outlook 2016 questions
Dear List: First, when I am in outlook 2016, what should I do to read by character the from and the to email addresses? The alt-1 will read the sender's email address, but I want to read it character by character. When I hit the alt-3, it says all the names the sender is sending to, but not their email addresses. So, how can I read by character, all of these email addresses? Second, how can I get the auto-fill to start working again when I enter the recipient's name I am sending to? I have updated to Jaws 2018. Perhaps one of these JAWS UPDATES DESTROYED THE Outlook auto-fill function. Thanks.

Re: [JAWS-Users] is there a quick navigation command to jump to non-control text?
Adrian: Thanks for your replies. I will try them out.

Ted, You're right that "n" will do a lot of the heavy lifting. This quick key skips over links to the next block of non-link text. I'd add the letter h for heading to your arsenal. I find that a combination of h and n gets me to the beginning, or nearby the beginning, of most articles. If I can add just one more set of quick keys, JAWS recognizes headings by level number, such as heading 1, heading 2, etc. You can get right to heading 1 by pressing 1 on the number row above the letter. To illustrate, when I go to read an article in the New York Times, I first press 1, which takes me to the title. Then I know from experience to press n until I hear the word "Skip." Here, I press n one more time. After that, it's a question of going by paragraph once or twice to the start of the text. How do you move paragraph by paragraph? With control-down arrow. Every website is different, but more and more, I'm finding a combination of 1, n and control-down arrow works pretty well. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Ted Larson Sent: Monday, August 14, 2017 1:04 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] is there a quick navigation command to jump to non-control text?
