Gary Ray here. I am sorry to be bringing this thread back up, but I just got around to trying the steps. No matter what I did, the changes I put in would not hold for files that had previously shown up as side by side, 2 page views.
JFW 14 and Word 2010. I have JFW 15, but it gave me so much heartburn that I abandoned it and probably will not try it again since we are so close to JFW 16. God, I hope JFW 16 is not so difficult. The problem I had was that JFW 15 kept freezing the PC while using Word. What a pain! I just don't have those issues in JFW 14. It mostly occurred when ALT Tabbing back and forth from Word to other programs. JFW was still on the screen, but the sucker just stopped talking. I was unable to get Narrator to start so I could unload everything and shut the PC off. It just seemed to kill all sounds. I could never get it to do the silence thing on demand. I just could not seem to find any sort of pattern. So, calling FS Tech Support was not something I was willing to do...smile. So, back to the question...does anyone else have experience using the steps below and getting them to work? I'll appreciate hearing anyone's experiences. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Joseph FreeTech Sent: Saturday, May 10, 2014 3:38 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] question regarding jaws and MSWord; Hi Gary and all, for those with the issue of Office 2007 and above not presenting a Word file as a continuous document, try the following instructions I typed up some time ago: When you launch Word 2007 for the first time it will most likely be configured with the Print View. The Print Layout view shows your document as it will look when it is printed. If you are a JAWS user you can quickly verify if you are using the Print view by pressing Insert + letter T. Listen to the entire Jaws message, and at the end of the message you should hear "Print view." At first installation of Office 2007 there is a chance you might have this Print View in the 2-page view, which makes reading through documents difficult as you will end up skipping every other page. As a screen reader user you will want to configure Word 2007 to open using the Print View as well as insuring Word is in the Whole page view rather than the Many pages view. To Configure the Print view in Word 2007: 1. Launch Microsoft Word by going to the Windows7 Start menu search box and typing the following: winword. Note: Please don't open any document just yet. 2. Press Alt + letter W to select the View tab on the Ribbon. 3. You can press the tab key to navigate through all of the options within this View menu. 4. The first item will be Print Layout Button. Make sure you hear the word "pressed." If this button is not pressed simply press enter on it to activate it. 5. After completing the previous steps you should be returned to your blank document. To Configure the Zoom to Display single Page View in Word 2007: 1. Press Alt + letter W to select the View tab on the Ribbon then press the letter Q to open the Zoom dialogue. 2. You will land on a radio button. Arrow down until you select "Whole page." 3. Tab twice or until you get to a spinbox. Make sure this is set to 75%. You can either arrow up and down to make adjustments, or you can simply type in the value. 4. Tab to Ok and hit enter. 5. Review these changes have taken by quickly pressing alt + W then letter Q. Tab around and verify the settings are correct. Press escape to close this dialogue. 6. Open a document which spans multiple pages. Arrow through the document to insure that when you reach line 25 or so you progress into page 2. Though the ribbon options will have changed from Word 2007 to Word 2010, etc, the idea is the same, so simply adapt the instructions for your version of office. Oh yeah, I should add that once you make these changes they will stick, and you will not have to make them again. <Smile>. Please let me know if you need absolutely any additional help. Joseph the free tech guy! PS: if you will be taking my instructions or making any dirivitive works based on these instructions please ask me before hand or at the very least give me credit by stating on your website that the information originated with me: Joseph Freetech. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gary Ray" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, May 10, 2014 6:11 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] question regarding jaws and MSWord; Gary Ray here.

Goto the View tab, arrow ddown to the lower ribbon, and select "Single page" and you're hopefully done. If you receive a document through e-mail, that has different settings than your default, it can be nessesary to change this setting again. Hans Pauli. -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: david Dato: 10. maj 2014 13:50 Til: [email protected] Emne: [JAWS-Users] question regarding jaws and MSWord; good morning all; I have a quesstion from a client, regarding word, he's using MSOffice 2010. I hope this email finds you doing very well. I have a question about Jaws and word. Jaws is giving me a hard time when I am reading through word documents. First it will not read when the document changes pages instead it just stops reading. This is when I am reading line by line. In the past it would read smoothly to the next page and just announce "page 2". It also won't let me continue on to the next page unless I read word by word then it carries me over to the next page. In addition sometimes it will skip pages for example starting on page 1 and then jumping to page 3 and I can't read page 2 unless I go back to the end of page 1 and move forward word by word until it advances to page 2. This is very frustrating and it is slowing me down a lot at the moment. If you can offer any help or suggestions it would be very greatfully appreciated. I hope this is a common problem and something easy to fix. Take care for now. Thanks for getting back to me. I have the window maximized and it is still giving me trouble. The problem is if I want to cut and paste or edit the material in any way it won't let me because Jaws will stop at the line break between pages. Also some pages will disappear for example it might start on page 1 then jump ahead to page 3 or 4 and then I have to go back to where the end of page 1 is and move forward using Control and the Arrow kets to move word by word. If I accidently go to far for example on to page 3 from page 2, I lose page 2 again and have to repet my steps to get back onto that page. My text is all there, it is just a pain to access it and edit. If I do incert and down errow it will read everything. Anyway, I don't know if that helps or not.
