Hello Jerry, In Word, place the cursor where you want to insert the logo. Use Alt followed by N followed by P for choosing a picture to insert. Browse to the PNG file and insert it. JAWS recognizes the inserted picture as an object. Use CTRL with shift and O to select the picture. JAWS should speak the height and width of the picture at this point. Press enter key. When you press enter key the "Lay out options" pane should appear. It might come up and have keyboard focus right on the "See more" button or you might have to use F6 until focus is in the pane. Press spacebar on the "See more" button. There will be three page tabs in the resulting dialog box. Go to the Size page. You can tab across to confirm absolute height and width. The aspect ratio will likely be locked and be relative to the original picture size. As you tab you should find a rotation box and it is likely on zero degrees. There are also two boxes for adjusting height and width, which will only work if you uncheck the aspect ratio checkbox. If you do uncheck that checkbox and adjust height and width percentages then JAWS will speak the new dimensions in the document when you use CTRL with shift and O to select the picture. I hope this is what you are wanting. Take care.

I am working on a cover page for a restaurant. I have the print text on one document, and I want to insert the logo onto the print page. So, having said that, you can see how I want to save as much ink as possible by printing it only once. And thanks to you and Mike for the patience. -----Original Message----- From: JM Casey Sent: Monday, February 5, 2018 5:49 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Image Inquiry I should add that, if what you're actually trying to determine is whether a picture is oriented correctly on your screen or is turned sideways or something, the only thing that will really help you is a pair of eyes. But, provided everything is correct, determining the pic's dimensions should help you figure what kind of pic it is. Now, maybe if you want to go further with this, you could explain what you are trying to do? Paste a picture into a document you are creating, I think you implied? -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of JM Casey Sent: February 5, 2018 6:40 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Image Inquiry Hey jerry. I've found two ways to get picture dimensions from a file as of today. One is through file properties, in the details tab. This is metadata, so this is recorded by whatever app or camera took the photo, and not something determined by your computer. You should look for "dimensions" in the list box. The other way is indeed through the photos app. I do not know if this is also metadata or whether the app performs some kind of analysis on the picture to determine dimensions. You want the "file information" button. Because the photos app is a modern app, the JAWS cursor will not work, I think. So you will need to use the touch cursor, or simply hit jaws key+b to read the entire text of the window, which will include the "file information" that appears when you hit the button. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: February 5, 2018 6:31 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Image Inquiry JM: My main issue with this whole thing is, when I open the file, it opens in photos. And having said that, there are options for rotating, sharing, deleting, etc. So, perhaps, in your previous messages, the steps you laid out would be the same, correct? -----Original Message----- From: JM Casey Sent: Monday, February 5, 2018 5:20 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Image Inquiry Guys... I am pretty sure I am understanding this correctly, and you do not need JAWS OCR, an iphone ap, or anything more than your windows file properties dialog box. Send me the picture off list if you want and I'll try and demonstrate how you can do this. I'll even ask my sighted girlfriend for the lending of her eyes in case my assumptions are incorrect. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: February 5, 2018 6:10 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Image Inquiry Thanks. I followed your instructions; however, it did not tell me the orientation i.e. portrait or landscape. But hey. You tried. -----Original Message----- From: Mike B.

Have you tried the OCR feature with J2018? If not give the following keystroke a try with the picture highlighted. On a graphic image press the, insert + spacebar, dual-layer keystroke, followed by, O, for OCR, and, C, for graphical image! Also, it all depends on the person taking the picture, & what device they used to take the picture & send it to you! My sister in law takes / sends my wife pictures from her smart phone all the time, & my wife has yet to get a picture that is not sideways / upside down! Kinda is the story of my sister in laws life! LOL LOL Take care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool. Arguing with a woman is like reading a software license agreement. In the end you have to ignore everything, & click I agree. ----- Original Message ----- From: JM Casey To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, February 05, 2018 1:13 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Image Inquiry That's a good question. I'm don't know that you can, without looking at it. To do so would seem to require a certain amount of artificial intelligence, and probably still wouldn't be 100% accurate. Anybody else want to contradict?. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: February 5, 2018 3:53 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Image Inquiry Thanks. With JAWS, is there a way to determine whether a png photo is in the landscape or portrat position? -----Original Message----- From: JM Casey Sent: Monday, February 5, 2018 1:41 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Image Inquiry I think you're right. For MS word to use .png files, you'll have to go to "insert", "picture", "file", then make your selection, and insert it into your word document, if that's what you want to do. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: February 5, 2018 2:13 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [JAWS-Users] Image Inquiry Afternoon all. I have a logo, and it is opened as a png file. In my list of previously opened word docs, will this show up in the list? I am thinking not, as it is not a word file, but I have been wrong on more than one occasion. I am running JAWS 2018, Word 13 and Windows 10 on a Dell laptop. Thanks in advance.
