Hi all, In an earlier message, I commented that the features listed in the subject line seems to be rarely heard of, never mind used. So thought I'd do you all a favour and paste a section in the JAWS 8.0 help system, under the What's New, What's New in JAWS 8.0 section. Hope this tip is of some use, and, please, try to make the most out this brilliant feature. Thanks!
Virtualize Window The Virtualize Window (CTRL+INSERT+W), a feature that has long been available in JAWS since release 4.51, captures everything in the current application window. This even includes the static text that appears in the window, so that you can avoid trying to recall something to type into a message in order to communicate it to others such as support staff. This is a great way to capture error codes and dialog messages since the text can easily be copied into an e-mail message. For a quick example to see how this works, try the following: list of 4 items 1. Press INSERT+F4. The Quit JAWS dialog box appears. 2. Next, press CTRL+INSERT+W. The dialog box title, message, and command buttons appears in the virtual viewer, for example: "Quit JAWS Are you sure you want to quit JAWS? Press Enter to quit now, or Escape to cancel. OK Cancel" 3. To select and copy the contents of the virtual viewer, press CTRL+A then CTRL+C. 4. You can now open your e-mail application and paste (CTRL+V) the contents of the virtual viewer into your e-mail message. list end Based on customer requests, Freedom Scientific has taken this a step further by virtualizing the contents of a specific list, control, combo box, or screen area. This is known as the Virtualize Current Control. Virtualize Current Control In some cases, such as lists, you might want to only virtualize the current control rather than the entire window. Starting with JAWS 8.0, just add the SHIFT Key to the Virtualize Window command. Therefore, pressing CTRL+SHIFT+INSERT+W results in getting only the text located within the current control. For a quick example to see how this works, try the following: list of 5 items 1. Open Windows Explorer (WINDOWS Key+E). 2. Press TAB to navigate to the list of files. 3. Press CTRL+SHIFT+INSERT+W. Only the file list appears in the virtual viewer. 4. To select and copy the contents of the virtual viewer, press CTRL+A then CTRL+C. 5. You can now open your e-mail application and paste (CTRL+V) the contents of the virtual viewer into your e-mail message. list end Christopher Hallsworth E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Skype name chrishallsworth7266 MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Why not join the Blind Hobbyist mailing list!
