to add to this if you do change it to voice only and you want to turn off mouse descriptions you will have to turn the global voice off, then go to the mouse pull down,change it to voice with descriptions off, save the set file. then turn the global back to voice only and save the set file again. this is the only way you can change the mouse descriptions when useing voice only in the global menu. this is true with both w e 6.1 and the betas. until this bug is fixed. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jeff Weiss To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, August 21, 2008 7:18 AM Subject: RE: how to know when a setting will be changed globally or per set file.
Look in the global menu in the WE control panel. The default is voice and verbosity. This makes both the voice setting and verbosity settings global. Now if you want to change this for a particular application, with that set file loaded, you can change this to something else for that particular set file. Then you could change some of these settings. Lets say, you change the Internet explorer set file to voice only. Now your set file for IE would still use your global voice settings, but you could change verbosity settings which would only apply to that set file.

Good Morning, I have been using Window-Eyes almost exclusively for 20months now, and I really like the program. However, when it comes to actually using the application itself, I still find that I obviously just don't get it and that frustrates me. For example, with Firefox3 open, I pressed Insert-V and set Browse Mode to Do Not Auto-read. After making the change, I pressed Control-Backslash and saved the Set File. I thought this would make the change in Firefox alone. However I was wrong. Now Browse Mode behaves in this fashion any time it is active. Therefore, the question is how does one know what settings are global and what settings are specific to each set file, thus requiring the Set File to be saved? It has been 20 months with multiple reads of the Window-Eyes Manual, and the Window-Eyes program still confounds me on what I feel is a basic level. Within weeks, I knew what it took to make a setting global or specific to a particular configuration file using JAWS. Suzy, The Blind Avenger Doing my best to prove blind people can.
