**On the Start screen, You can also Tab one time to all your recent

first.

**Using Smart look-up in Word 2016.
*Tip, for whatever reason, if using the Smart look-up with Jaws, This seems
to cause problems when returning to your document.

will hear a sound.

ALT+Tab away and back again.
*Tip, after using the Smart look-up in Word 2016, right now, this causes
problems with Jaws when going back to the document.
**For example.
I selected the word "Jaws".
I press the Applications key, uparrow to, smart look-up, I pressed Enter.
I pressed the Tab key one time, to go to the Smart look-up results window.
I pressed the Downarrow key, and found the following.
JAWS (screen reader) - Wikipedia
JAWS ("Job Access With Speech") is a computer screen reader program for
Microsoft Windows that allows blind and visually impaired users to read the
screen either with a text-to-speech output or by a refreshable Braille
display.
*Tip, Jaws has some issues in Word 2016, after using the Smart look-up.
As I was preparing this lesson, and ALT+Tabbing away and back to Word 2016,
Jaws was getting stuck on one line.
The Only thing that worked for me, was to shut down and restart Jaws 18,
this does not work now. LOL.
*Tip, I used the latest Jaws 17, I had the same issues after using the Smart
look-up in Word 2016.
So please let VFO, know about these issues, if you run across them like I
have, in using Word 2016.

previous, and next lines.

lines.

*Tip, Doing more testing in word 2016 with Jaws 18.
Most of the issues I explained above, seem to occur after using the Smart
look-up feature in Word 2016.
This is the only lesson I am going to do, with using Word 2016 with Jaws.
As always, all member feedback is welcome at all times by me, concerning
these keyboard your best friend series.
*My purpose for developing all of this free material for the Blind computer
user is to help teach and assist a Blind person to use w-10 with a Screen
reader like Jaws.
*My hope is that the Blind computer user will grow in confidence, in their
ability, to use, and to navigate the w-10 computer system, using just Jaws.
*We also have group members, to can help teach about using NVDA, on a W-10
computer as well.
*This is one of many tutorials, I hope to produce, for the Blind community,
to help teach all of them, how to use a W-10 computer using Jaws.
*My hope is , That over time, they would learn how to do, and complete,
various computer tasks in W-10, all by themselves.
*The W-10 and Jaws yahoo group is a freely provided ministry of The River
Yahoo group.
*I freely offer the W-10 and Jaws group, and all of its materials, as a free
and voluntary work of love, to reach out and teach all the blind computer
users all over the world, how to learn how to use a W-10 computer using
Jaws.

A Ballast for My Soul
Life is like a stormy sea
That tosses to and fro,
But God's Word will ever be
A ballast for my soul.
By its truth I'll be held fast
Till I reach heaven's shore
Where I will be home at last
And sail life's sea no more!
