[JAWS-Users] Windows Mobile Device Center not working

2018-02-08 Thread Tom Vos
I recently had trouble connecting my PAC Mate to my desk top computer
with a USB cable.
After some investigation I discovered that Microsoft is no longer
supporting Windows mobile Device Center (formerly called Active Sync).
So when my Windows 10 was updated, WMDC quit working.
If anyone else has this problem, there is help available.  At the
website pasted below there are options which may get you going again.
It worked for me.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Converting PDF

To convert a PDF into Word, I simply copy and paste the text into a
Word document.
With a PDF open in Adobe, Alt E brings you to the edit menu, and B
copies all the text to the clipboard.
Open a new Word file and paste, using  Control V
Then save the new Word file.

Friends,
Let me tell you what Optasia Ministry offers
We have over 30 English Bible translations in various formats.
Those that are in the Optasia format run in your web browser with links to
books chapters and verses.
We do have three Catholic Bibles: Jerusalem Bible, New American Bible and
Christian Community Bible.
I think I can get the Ignatius Bible, but contact me, since it is not yet
part of the Optasia Library.
Some Catholics also use the RSV or NRSV.
In addition we have a large library of books, commentaries, devotional
reading, and a variety of other books
A few of these resources are specifically Catholic.
We have the Catholic Catechism available as well.
We will provide this library free to qualifying blind persons.
You can chedk us out at www.optasiaministry.org
and see the contact page of our web site for ordering the library.
and email me at tom@optasiaministry.org.
We are continually adding new books as well, so the library keeps growing.
Blessings,

[JAWS-Users] JAWS and Computer hanging up on open

2013-09-27 Thread Tom Vos
When I try to open a file in MS Word, Excell and Word Pad, I key in the
commands, find the file, and enter on it.

At that point JAWS stops speaking, and the computer hangs up.

This does not happen when we turn Jaws off.

I can open the files from File Explorer.

This configuration was working fine until Wednesday this week, and then the
problem started.

I am using JAWS 14, Windows 7, and Office 2007.

Here is what I have done.

I uninstalled JAWS 14, and reinstalled it by download from the Freedom
Scientific website.

I have uninstalled a trial version of Norton, to make sure I am running only
one antivirus program -- Microsoft Security Essentials.

I have run msconfig and disabled everything on start up, except for my Drop
Box.

Any ideas on what might be causing this?

Tom

This is part of the reason I started Optasia Ministry, to provide the blind
community with Bibles and Bible study tools that are readily accessible for
those using screen reading software.
While with our resources, you have to specifically open a commentary on the
book of the Bible you want to use, it is very user friendly.
Our Bibles run in your web browser with links to books, chapters and verses.
We have added tools for accessing the Greek NT and Hebrew OT that allow
advanced students of the Bible to do thorough research.
Many users of this list are already using our resources, and others are
welcome to check out what we offer at

We have a wide variety of reading in theology, devotional, leadership,
church history, apologetics and other areas.
We provide our resources free to those who are blind, and rely on donations

Re: [JAWS-Users] MS Office 2007 and printing address labels

2011-12-13 Thread Tom Vos
Jerry,
I assume you want to use mail merge to insert data from a database
If you want just a page of all the same labels, you can use Alt M, then l to
get into the labels dialogue box and check the appropriate radio button.
If you want to mail merge, here is an outline for that.

Mail Merge in Word 2007
Choose Alt M for the mailings tab.
Then tab to mail merge.

Start Mail merge
Choose labels

Alt M
Select Recipients
Choose the  source for the information.
Under that option you need to find the file that contains your records.  In
my situation, that is an Access database.

Then go back to the menu and find the option for, Edit recipient list
Here I tab down to the filter link.  When I enter on that I get a table like
I was used to using inWord 2000, where I can enter the record number and the
range that I want to print.

Alt M
Go to the, Insert merge fields group box
As name, address, city, state and zip are selected, they appear in the main
document below.
User needs to use enter to move down a line, add the comma after the city
and the space before the zip
No key command, so use Alt M, and tab through to the insert merge fields
group box each time.

Then go to the Update labels button
Hit enter and all the labels fill in.

If you want an alternative to working online, we, at Optasia Ministry, have
24 Bible versions, plus some Catholic Bibles.
We have designed our Bibles to work well with JAWS, and they work well on
the Braille notetakers as well.
Each Bible opens with a list of links to all the books of the Bible, Then
each book has a list of links to each chapter, and when the chapter
displays, you will also have a list of links for the verses.
I can find a verse as fast as a sighted person can, and when I'm looking for
Obadiah, I've got a big advantage.
In addition, the Optasia Library contains a set of commentaries and Bible
study tools that you won't find anywhere else.
We have reading material on the categories of devotional, leadership,
theology, pastoral care, prayer and spirituality, and others.  Over 1200
books now.
We are able to provide this library of resources free to blind persons.

If I uncheck an item in the start up page, and I tab to the disable all
button, will it only disable that one I unchecked?

Yes.
Disable all will do what it says.  Disable all the programs, even if you
just checked them.
For fastest start up, you will want to uncheck as many programs as possible.
Windows will make sure that a minimum of programs are automatically checked
for it to run.
Then make sure your antivirus is checked.
Uncheck everything else.
Then, if you find something does not work right, you can always go back in
and check that program to start up.

Hi everyone,

I understand how to get all the way to unchecking a program in the start up
page in MSconfig.
From this point, I can tab to two buttons, enable all and disable all.

If I select the disable all, will it just disable the program I have just
unchecked?

Thanks,

This is true, I very much agree especially having worked on a windows 7 this
past weekend and enabled windows mail. The question is according to what I
noticed doing a Google search windows mail contains it's own spell checking
program, is this true or did I simply misunderstand the information I was

Re: [JAWS-Users] Two Questions about Word 2007

Chris,
I'll respond just on the foot note question.
This depends mostly on the expectations of those for whom you are writing.
A teacher in college might expect that you use footnotes.
Because she wants the convenience of just glancing at the bottom of the page
rather than flipping to the back of the paper, as she reads.
But often nowadays, end notes are used instead to avoid the clutter of
footnotes and make things read easier.

[JAWS-Users] JAWS accessible Bibles, and more

2010-08-10 Thread First CRC Tom Vos
A number of members of this list have been using Bibles from Optasia
Ministry, and I want to alert new members to this resource.
Thanks to the list owner for letting us post this information.
We have designed a Bible format that works very well with JAWS, and works
well on desktop and laptop computers as well as the Braille notetaker
devices.
We have 14 versions available, and are preparing to add a few more in the
near future.
Optasia Bibles are in HTML format so they run in Internet Explorer.
You do not have to be online to use them.  They run off files on your own
hard drive.
Each Bible opens with a table of contents page with links to all the
books of the Bible.
Each book has links to its chapters.
Each chapter displays in full, with links to each verse.
You can do exact word/phrase searches as well.
And we will send you these Bibles free if you are blind.
In addition, Optasia Ministry has a large library ofBible study tools,
such as commentaries, and a variety of other Christian reading as well.
All of it is free.

I think JAWS works fine with both versions.
I think the question is more a matter of which Word version you want to

Some of us have upgraded for various reasons, and learned the new ribbon

But if 2003 is working well for you, there may be no need to upgrade.

Japanese or Chinese script would still account for gibberish output.
You might need to ask a sighted person if that is what is actually on the

Sometimes instructions are very small print, or not well printed.
If it is very small, perhaps it could be enlarged on a copy machine,

  Wayne,
  It depends partly on what you want to do with this software.
  Optasia Ministry has 14 popular versions of the Bible in a form 
 that
  works very well with JAWS on your desktop computer, as well as
  notetakers.
  These Bibles are HTML files, that you store on your hard drive, 
 and they
  run in Internet Explorer.  After setting up the Bible as one of 
 your
  favorites, you will have easy access to links to books, chapters 
 and
  verses of the Bible.
  You will be able to search for specific words and phrases as 
 well.
  So if you want a Bible to read, one in which it is easy to find a
  passage, these will work well for you.
  We have these same 14 versions in a form that is designed for the 
 Victor
  Stream Reader.
  These same versions are also available in rtf format, for basic 
 access
  with any screen reader.
  The Optasia  Bibles do not have links to other study resources.
  However, if you receive the entire Optasia Library, you will be 
 able to
  make use of a variety of good commentaries, as well as have access 
 to
  reading material on a variety of topics related to the Bible.  We 
 have
  about 800 books in the library now, and songs and worship 
 resources as
  well.
  If you want to see the complete listing of the Optasia Library, 
 you can
  visit our website:
  www.optasiaministry.org
  We send out all our materials free, since the ministry depends on
  donations for its support.
  You may email me directly if you have questions, or want a copy of 
 a
  Bible or the library.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Bible software with JAWS 11

2010-05-31 Thread First CRC Tom Vos
Wayne,
It depends partly on what you want to do with this software.
Optasia Ministry has 14 popular versions of the Bible in a form that
works very well with JAWS on your desktop computer, as well as
notetakers.
These Bibles are HTML files, that you store on your hard drive, and they
run in Internet Explorer.  After setting up the Bible as one of your
favorites, you will have easy access to links to books, chapters and
verses of the Bible.
You will be able to search for specific words and phrases as well.
So if you want a Bible to read, one in which it is easy to find a
passage, these will work well for you.
We have these same 14 versions in a form that is designed for the Victor
Stream Reader.
These same versions are also available in rtf format, for basic access
with any screen reader.
The Optasia  Bibles do not have links to other study resources.
However, if you receive the entire Optasia Library, you will be able to
make use of a variety of good commentaries, as well as have access to
reading material on a variety of topics related to the Bible.  We have
about 800 books in the library now, and songs and worship resources as
well.
If you want to see the complete listing of the Optasia Library, you can
visit our website:
www.optasiaministry.org
We send out all our materials free, since the ministry depends on
donations for its support.
You may email me directly if you have questions, or want a copy of a
Bible or the library.

Blessings,
Tom

[JAWS-Users] Follow up to Stuttering JAWS

2010-04-15 Thread First CRC Tom Vos
In an earlier post I noted a problem in which JAWS seemed to get stuck on
a single syllable, which it kept repeating like a motor boat, hanging up
the computer.
I got some good help from Freedom Scientific.
The solution they suggested was to go to the start up page in
configuration manager, and disable all the start up programs.  Then, they
said, I could enable them one by one till I found the one that would
cause the problem.
With everything disabled, my computer runs fine.  I'm not missing
anything important that I can notice, so I don't plan to enable any more
than I have to.
A couple things enabled themselves in the list, and I had to check my
virus and spam protection.
But I have not had a problem in almost two weeks now.
So,three cheers for Freedom Scientific tech support!
Blessings,
Tom

 Dear Jaws List,
 I cannot get Microsoft Word to remove a header from the second

 section break. Then I go to the insert tab on the ribbon (alt n) 
 press h for header, and scroll to remove header. The header on page 
 3 as well as headers in the rest of the document are removed. It 
 doesn't matter where I place the cursor. Am I missing a Jaws command

[JAWS-Users] Stuttering JAWS

2010-04-06 Thread First CRC Tom Vos
For a long time now, JAWS will stumble over a single syllable in a line.
Occasionally JAWS will get stuck on a single syllable, and the computer
locks up, and the only way out is to power off the computer.
A few days ago it went into the stuttering mode, but came out of it
again.  But then it kept doing it, so I had to reboot, and it took two
more reboots before it got better.
Has anyone seen this, and is there a cause for this that I can address?

 Hello all, 
 
 I don't have time to read many messages, so apologize if this has 
 been covered or is of common knowledge. 
 
 I am in the market for a laptop computer. I've never owned a laptop 
 and don't know what to look for or avoid as a blind user. I will 
 have to upgrade Jaws as I'm back on version 8. I'm thinking that most 
 laptops now are sold with Windows 2007 operating system. How does 
 Jaws work with that? Of course, it would be whatever current version 
 Jaws is at, version 11 I think. Also, I would then have to make the 
 leap to Office 2007 from Office 2003. I may have to use Office 2007 
 including PowerPoint, Excel, IE, and Word in school next fall. I'll 
 know that for sure later this week, but I would expect that they 
 will not be using my favourite 2003 stuff. 
 
 Anyway, any pointers on upgrading would be appreciated. 
 
 Thanks. 
 
 Jean

All Optasia Library materials are free.
Since we must restrict who gets this material, by law, we cannot make it
available for download from our website.
optasiaministry.org
we only send it out on DVD to those who qualify, that is to those who are
blind or have a visual disability
I noted the NIV Study Bible resources in my previous post.
We also have fourteen versions available in the Optasia Bible format.
One of these is The Message.
The Optasia Bibles run from your hard drive in Internet Explorer, so you
have easy links to books, chapters and verses.
The Optasia Bibles are ideal for finding and reading passages, and work
well on the note takers too.
Last September we released the Optasia Bible Collection, which puts all
14 versions in a single package, allowing users to easily compare
readings in all the versions.
The library contains the Bibles, over 700 other books, and worship
resources that include over 1,000 hymn and song texts.
If you want the Optasia Library, or any part of it, send me an email at 
tom@optasiaministry.org.
State in the email whether you are blind or have a visual disability, and

[JAWS-Users] JAWS conflict with Office 2007

2010-01-07 Thread First CRC Tom Vos
I am using JAWS 11 on a Dell laptop, running Vista
The problem began when we did some things to try to speed up a sluggish
computer.
When JAWS is running, I cannot start MS Word or Excell.
I can start JAWS after MS Word is running, and it works, but I cannot use
Excell at all.
Other Office programs run fine: IE, Outlook
The error message says Windows is looking online for a solution, but then
I get no answer, just the option to close the program
I did a repair on JAWS with no success.
I tried a system restore, but that did not help.
MS office was updated during the earlier process, so it is current.
Below is a list of things we did during the process of trying to improve
computer performance.  Maybe that will give you an idea of something we
can do.
Perhaps the final solution will be to reinstall MS Office, but I am
hoping someone might have a better idea before I go to that option. 

Here is the list of things I did as I tried to increase computer
performance:
1) Disabled almost all plug ins in Internet Explorer except plug ins by
Microsoft or Adobe. 
2) Ran Microsoft update.  There were no critical or hardware updates.
Also updated MS Office. 
3) Defragmented the hard drive.   
4) Updated the anti-virus database. 
5) Uninstalled various programs including, but not limited to: Google
Desktop, everything by Google except Google Earth. 
6) Viewed startup items, in particular items initiated by Windows
registry keys.  Unchecked a few items
I'm pretty sure I unchecked Windows Media Player if it was on the
list.  There was an HP web printing program I disabled or uninstalled. 
7)  In one of the configuration windows concerning bootup, it was
configured to do a special boot process.  I changed it to a Normal
boot process, but I later noticed it had gone back to a previous
value.  I'm not sure what that was all about. 
8)  I changed performance settings from automatic to optimized for
performance.  This removed many special effects about window shading,
button styles, etc.  The environment appeared more similar to older
versions of Windows. 
9)  Went into the C drive properties, unchecked the box that said
something like index for faster searching, and I instructed it to
apply the settings to all subfolders and files.  I went into the
Indexing control panel menu and limited indexing to the fewest
possible files.  I also explicitly removed indexing for files with
extensions .pst, .psm, and .xml.  After this change, Outlook provided
a warning saying that the indexing was not being run against outlook.
I acknowledged the warning and instructed Outlook not to produce the
warning again. 
10) I disabled the Indexing service. 
11) Installed the newest Adobe Reader.  I didn't explicitly
uninstall the previous one, so I hope the installer was smart enough
not to mess that up. 
When I started, the laptop had instability issues with Internet
Explorer, ran slower than I would have expected, and occasionally the
explorer.exe process would lock up when you try to click on the Start
menu.  It would take a full minute or two before the start menu would
start working again.  The hard drive access light appeared to be
unusually active during this period of time. 
The most effective changes may have been: disabling Internet Explorer
add-ons; uninstalling Google Desktop (it performs a duplicate service
to Windows Indexing), disabling the fancy Vista graphics, and
disabling Indexing.  I don't know how much Indexing really affected
the performance, but I didn't like a laptop randomly accessing the
hard drive beyond normal usage.  However, it is enabled, it probably
won't slow things down much. 
Without knowing exactly how JAWS works, I suspect the following
changes are the most likely to have caused trouble, starting with the
most likely:
1) I might have accidentally uninstalled or disabled startup of a program
that
JAWS relied on (possibly due to conditions previously unknown).
2) When I upgraded MS Office, that broke the interaction with JAWS
3) By changing the Vista graphics, I broke the interface between JAWS
and the windows graphics.
4) By uninstalling programs, a random file was changed or deleted,
possibly a dll.  Google Desktop may have touched files somewhat deep
in Windows. 
Shortly before I left, I started to take special note of a process
that had the name proxy.  I believe that the process was executed by
JAWS, but after JAWS exits, the proxy continues to run.  As a guess, I
suspect that it might act as a proxy to standard windows library API
calls, allowing JAWS to do what it needs to do.  I would not be
surprised if it is extremely difficult or impossible to safely end
this process, which may be why JAWS leaves it running.  Every time I
saw the minute or two delay for the start menu to appear, I believe
this process was running.  Therefore, for the best performance, it may
be necessary to reboot the laptop every time JAWS is closed. 
There are a ton of programs that run on startup.  Most of them don't
do much other

At Optasia Ministry we have a set of Bibles that work well on a desktop
computer as well as a device such as the PAC Mate.
We have 14 Bible versions available .  Each Bible is in html format, so
they run in Internet Explorer.  There are easy links to books, chapters
and verses, and limited search capability.
If you want a Bible to read, in which it is easy to find a specific
passage, this will work very well for you.
We also have all 14 versions in a single collection that will allow you
to easily compare readings in various versions.
These same versions are also available in an html format designed for the

You may have any one version, or all of them.

[JAWS-Users] A quirk of the spell checker with JAWS

2009-12-22 Thread First CRC Tom Vos
You may have figured this out already, but I discovered something helpful
in using the MS Word spell checker with JAWS.
Often, when I am spell checking JAWS will not read the text in the
window, or tell me what words to substitute. It sometimes keeps reading
the previous problem it flagged instead of the one it's really on.
But I found that if I simply tab once, and then shift tab back, JAWS will
read the problem area normally.

Blessings,
Tom

2009-11-19 Thread First CRC Tom Vos
I'm not sure what you are asking,
But I think the auto correct feature in Word allows you to enter your
common misspellings, and hav Word automatically correct them each time.
Check under Tools, Options, and proofing, or spelling.

Take some time to just explore each ribbon menu and make notes on the

Albert,
I don't know any way  of getting Office 2007 on 2 computers legally
without purchasing two licenses.
It is possible to buy a multi license copy, but that is still likely to
cost more than 2 licenses.
The trial version that came with your computer may be the cheapest way to
go for that one.
If you try to install Office 2007 with the same product key on two
computers, you will be denied the second time around.  This is because,
when you install you have to connect online to Microsoft, and they keep
track of that sort of thing.
The cost is steep, but a place like Best Buy is likely your best bet.
There are websites that offer deeply discounted copies of Office by
download, but I would not trust them
Since Office 2003 is giving you some problems, the change might be worth
it.
Office 2007 has a bit of a learning curve, because it uses ribbon menus
instead of pull down menus, but I have found that it is not difficult to
learn, and works very well with JAWS 9 and especially with JAWS 10.
If you take that step and want some hints on adapting to the 2007 format,
feel free to contact me.
Blessings,
Tom

 good morning everyone.
 
 Yesterday, I asked the list, if there was anyway that I could 
 install after

 they 
 provide you with, if I could install it on my desk top computer.  If 
 not, 
 does anyone know how much an additional product key for me too 
 install it on 
 my desktop computer would cost?  If you remember from my post 
 yesterday,  I 
 got a netbook computer which has a 60 day trial period, which will 
 enable me 
 too use the program and then afterwords, I have the option to either 
 install 
 the program through there online process, or by purchasing the 
 program on 
 cd, or dvd if I buy it through another store.  I'm not trying too 
 get the 
 program for free without paying for the product key or extra license 
 if that 
 is what's required, but I just need to know for informational 
 purposes, just 
 how much an additional product key would cost, or how much it would 
 cost too 
 purchase another license for the program would be if that's what I 
 need.
 
 I'm having a lot of trouble with the version of office 2003 that I 
 currently 
 have on my desktop computer here, along with a lot of trouble using 
 outlook 
 express 6 which I'm using in conjunction with office 2003.  So, 
 that's why 
 I'm asking the above question as  it relates too office 2007.

Re: [JAWS-Users] how much RAM for Office 2007

Cher,
I think 2 GB is enough, and the computer person I work with says it is.
I'm using 3 GB, and it gets a little slow when I'm working with large
documents, such as books that are 1,000 pages.
But memory is rather inexpensive, so a little extra doesn't hurt.
A hint.  If your Recycle bin is too full, that can slow down file access
in XP.  Just empty the recycle bin occasionally.

[JAWS-Users] RE laptop command for reading current line

2009-07-15 Thread First CRC Tom Vos
If you have JAWS set to the laptop keyboard setting, the caps lock key
becomes the JAWS key.
As you hold the caps lock key with your left fifth finger, the keys under
your right hand become navigation reading keys.
JAWS key plus
I, reads the current line
U, reads the previous line
O, reads the next line

Then, JAWS key plus
K, reads the current word
J, reads the previous word
L, reads the next word

And JAWS key plus
comma, reads the current letter
M, reads the previous letter
period, reads the next letter

Note that if you press the caps lock key twice quickly, it toggles the
caps lock feature.
If you don't want all letters capitalized, just tap the caps lock key
twice quickly and you'll be back to normal typing mode.

Tom

[JAWS-Users] Victor Reader Stream Information

2009-07-09 Thread First CRC Tom Vos
I direct a ministry that provides Bibles and a large library of books for
Christians who are blind.
I do not have a Victor Reader Stream, but a number of those who contact
us do.
I'm wondering if someone would be willing to answer a couple questions
and give me some information that will help us provide useful resources.
I know that the Victor Rreader will read rtf files.
So if I provide someone with the Bible, with each book in its individual
file, how does one navigate and find a specific passage with the VSR?
Is there a better way to provide the Bible.  For example, would a single
RTF file of the entire Bible be better than each book in a separate file?
Second, can the VSR read html files.
We have several versions of the Bible in html format with easy links to
books, chapters and verses.  Can one use the VSR to click on links and
move to different parts of the Bible?
If you want to email me off  list, you can send a message to

[JAWS-Users] RE. Question about Office 2007

2009-06-25 Thread First CRC Tom Vos
David,
While there is a learning curve to Office 2007, I don't think it is a big
one.
The tutorial mentioned before is available.
But here's what I have done without the tutorial.
Give yourself a couple hours when you aren't trying to get a particular
job done.
Open a document or make  a short new one.  Then explore.
First choose Alt f, for the File menu.  Then tab or arrow through the
options.
Whenever you come across one that you need to know, make a note of it. 
Keep this list of notes as a separate document.
Then choose Alt E, for the Home ribben menue.  Tab through the options
there, noting on your list, the things you want to remember for future
use.
As you go through, listen to what JAWS tells you about the key
combinations for various commands.  This is what you want to take notes
on.
After you finish with  the Home menu, Choose Alt E again, but rather than
tab, use the right arrow.  This will bring you to the next ribbon menu,
which you can explore by tabbing through the options.
You can explore each of the ribbon menus this way.
You will learn the most common key combinations quickly, and for those
that you use less often, your document with all the notes is the first
place you will turn.
Note also that many of the commands you learned in previous versions of
Office will work in 2007.
For example, Alt T S, will bring up the spell checker.
Alt O F will bring up the font menu
Alt O C will bring up the columns menu
I'm sure that with a couple hours of exploring, you will feel much more
confident.
I am not an expert with Office, but feel free to email me with specific
questions.
Blessings,
Tom

2009-05-21 Thread First CRC Tom Vos
I had to download a file in Adobe format.
I'm using Adobe Reader 9, with the accesibility options set.
But every time I tried to download the file, the program would quit
responding.  I tried it on three different computers with the same
result.
When we unloaded JAWS we were able to access the file and turn it into
text.
Does anyone have  any idea why JAWS might interact with Adobe or a
certain file download this way?Blessings,
Tom

Press Alt P, and then M .  This will bring you to the margins window.
There are some standard margin set ups there, including the most recent
custom one you have used.  
At the bottom of the list is the option for custom settings.  Enter on
that and you will be able to enter new top bottom, left and right margin
settings.
If you have questions about other options, please ask.

[JAWS-Users] RE JAWS and Biblical Greek

2009-04-30 Thread First CRC Tom Vos
Mark,
I can't give you all the answers, so as someone else mentioned, a call to
Freedom Scientific might be helpful.

As the director of Optasia Ministry, I can tell you that we have made
some effort to help those who want to read Biblical Greek.
First, if you are using a Pac Mate or some other Braille display, you
will be able to read the Biblical Greek, by learning a few symbols.
An alpha in Greek is the same as an A in English.
A beta is the same as a B.
But some Greek characters don't have an exact equivalent in English text.
 That's why there are a few extra symbols.
If you are reasonably fluent at reading  Graille, you may wish to explore
this option.
We can provide you with the Greek text in Braille reading format, or you
can visit the site of the Bartimaeus Alliance for the Blind, which is
where we got the material.

Second, I have made some effort to adjust the Greek text into a form that
will sound similar to the way we normally pronounce the Greek words. 
This means, for example, I have changed the Braile reading character for
theta into th.This may be helpful for reading, but if you use this
in seminary studies you will need to understand the changes I have made
to the text so that you can understand the text properly.

Then, I want you to know that Optasia Ministry has a significant library
of study resources that will help you in your studies.
We have Introductions to the Old and New Testament.
Theologies of the Old and New Testament
The Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament and the Theological
Dictionary of the New Testament (single volume) which will enable you to
do individual word studies.
We have a variety of Bible translations.
We have some very important commentaries available, such as the New
International Commentary on the New Testament (adding that right now),
Many volumes of the Word Biblical Commentary series, and most of the NIV
Application Commentary, among others.
In addition you will find books on leadership, apologetics, homiletics,
prayer and spirituality, pastoral care and a number of devotional books.

We offer this material free of charge.  If you would like to receive the
library:
Send me your name and mailing address
A simple statement that you are blind or have a visual disability
And your preference for receiving the material on a single DVD or a set
of three CD's.

If you have more questions, or to request the library, please contact me
at
tom@optasiaministry.org

Blessings,
Tom  Vos, director

[JAWS-Users] RE Ms Word 2003 printing pages

2009-01-14 Thread First CRC Tom Vos
There are actually two ways of doing this.
1. Some printers can do duplex printing, but that's an expense you don't
need to make for a small amount of printing.

2. In the MS Word Print menu there are two ways to do this.
a. Alt G will allow you to type in the specific pages you want to print.
I often do this for small documents.
   First I enter 6,4,2 and print.
   Turn the pages over manually and enter 1,3,5.
When I do it in this order, they come out in order.
2. The second way is to tab down to the, Printt combo box.
Or Alt P
There you have options such as all pages in range, odd
pages, even pages

[JAWS-Users] RE Jaws and Office 2007

2008-12-04 Thread First CRC Tom Vos
Mar,,
I made the switch from Office 2000 to Office 2007 in January with JAWS 9,
and recently upgraded to JAWS 10.
I have found that JAWS 9 works very well with Office 2007, and JAWS 10
resolved a problem I had reading in Access.
Perhaps the biggest issue in making the switch to Office 2007 is the
change to ribbon menus.
Please encourage your people that using Office 2007 is very doable.
There is a learning curve with the change to ribbon menus.
Many of the key strokes are the same as previous versions.
Alt T, plus S, still puts you in the spell checker.
Alt O, plus C still opens the columns menu window.
Alt O, plus F still brings up the font window.
I urge new users of Office 2007 to set aside some time to explore.
Then, as they discover how to access the commands they need to use,
prepare a cheat sheet to which they can go back to, until the commands
are committed to memory.
Blessings,
Tom

[JAWS-Users] RE Upgrading to Office 2007

2008-12-04 Thread First CRC Tom Vos
If employees in a large organization like NML are being expected to
switch to Office 2007, it begs the question to tell them not to upgrade.
That is not a possibility, and telling them not to upgrade does them a
disservice.
I'm not an expert with Office, but with a relatively short learning
curve, I've been able to make the switch over and do quite well with it.
If you have a choice on your personal computer about whether to upgrade
to Office 2007, and 2000 or 2003 are working well for you, I would advise
that you don't spend the money.  I don't see that 2007 offers any great
advantages over the previous versions.
But wen employees are going to have to adapt to changes in their
companies, we on this list owe them the encouragement that it can be
done, and it does not take super human effort, just a modest amout of
time to learn the new methods.
My office computer has Office 2007, and my home computer has Office 2000.
 I can switch back and forth between them and do the same tasks without
difficulty.
Blessings,
Tom
