I'm not sure if this happens to other outlook users and this is probably
the
wrong forum to voice this; however, when I have an outlook email open,
whether if I'm reading one, or composing one, alt-tabbing and back to the
body of the message, I always have to turn off quick keys with insert z.
Just to make me feel better is anyone else experiencing this? For the
record, I'm using jaws 17 and it even does this in jaws 16 and outlook
2013.
Just say yes, and I will be able to sleep!

Hi Dacia,
Have you tried rebooting to see if that helps? If you reboot & your
system
comes up running normally, try downloading J17 using the links I provided
earlier, & running that update installation file from your computer. Some
people have good luck updating with the Jaws updater, & others do not.
Or,
even with your computer acting weird, if you can download the previously
mentioned installation executable & running it, that might clear up your
troubles.
Take care.

Hi, I asked this in a previous email, but thought I'd ask it again here.
The
option to update just came on my computer, so I chose to do so. However,
it
said that it couldn't update the patch. And I hit OK. Once I did that, my
computer has not let me navigate things. It talks, and will let me hit
letters, but it's not navigating to anything on my computer. Any
suggestions? Should I uninstall it completely and reinstall just the
original Joss 17 cd I got in not do the updates?

Enhancements in JAWS 17.0.1377 (January 2016)
The following is a list of improvements made between the JAWS 17
November
2015 release and the January 2016 update.
JAWS
list of 17 items
• The INSERT+X command, which temporarily toggles Smart Navigation,
now uses the default selection configured in the Startup Wizard. For
instance, if the default setting is Off, performing this command
toggles between Controls and Tables and Off. If the default setting is
Controls, performing this command toggles between Off and Controls.
• When typing in Contracted Braille using the keyboard on the Focus
display, resolved an issue where text was not being entered into edit
fields if the particular field was completely empty.
• When JAWS is configured to display text in Unified English Braille
(UEB), resolved an issue where the word "in" was being incorrectly
contracted when followed by a punctuation mark or preceded by a
quotation mark.
• Resolved a customer reported issue with UEB translation where the
"ever"
contraction was being used incorrectly in some instances.
• Resolved an issue where the dollar sign (dot 4 followed by dots
2-3-4) was not being entered as expected when typing in Unified
English Braille Grade 2.
• On the Braille Settings page in the Startup Wizard, the Placement of
Status Cells and Dot Firmness options will now only be available when
a braille display supporting these features is connected.
• Added new braille tables for Dutch.
• Resolved a customer reported issue where JAWS was unexpectedly
speaking the system time after pressing ENTER from the Search Box in
the Windows 7 Start menu.
• Added links in the JAWS Help to the web page where users can
download the Freedom Scientific Developer Network (FSDN).
• A new option, Annotation Indication, has been added to the Reading
Options group in Quick Settings for all applications. It determines
whether or not JAWS detects annotations such as comments, footnotes,
and endnotes in rich text documents.
• Resolved an issue with the Technology News from CNet Research It
lookup source where results containing an apostrophe were not being
displayed correctly.
• If JAWS is configured to start automatically at the logon screen or
after you have logged into Windows, you can now press and hold both
the ALT and CTRL keys as Windows boots to prevent JAWS from starting.
This is useful if you need to troubleshoot any startup related issues
you may be experiencing.
• A new speech output type has been added which enables JAWS to
automatically announce toast notifications. These are notifications
apps can use to display time-sensitive or personally relevant
notifications regardless of whether the user is in another app or on
the Start screen, Lock screen, or Desktop.
For
example, a toast may be used to alert a user to an incoming VOIP call,
instant message, or text message. The new Toasts output type is
selected for all verbosity levels and can be configured using the
Configure Verbosity Levels group in Settings Center.
• Resolved reported issues using JAWS with the Miranda NG instant
messaging client.
• Resolved a customer reported issue where pressing INSERT+PAGE UP in
a command prompt window was reading the next line instead of reading
from the cursor to the end of the current line as expected.
• Addressed a reported issue with dialog boxes that are generated
using JAWS scripts not being spoken as expected.
• Worked with Pitney Bowes to resolve several reported issues that
impacted their company employees using JAWS.
list end
IBM Notes (formerly Lotus Notes)
list of 1 items
• Due to limitations with JAWS support for IBM Notes, Smart Navigation
does not work as well as it does in other applications that use the
Virtual Cursor.
At this time, we have disabled this feature in IBM Notes until we can
get it working properly.
list end
Microsoft Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox list of 9 items • When
navigating the contents of some edit fields, resolved an issue where
the last and first words of consecutive lines were being read as a
single word.
• Improvements continue to be made to JAWS performance with Google
Docs and Google Sheets. These include the paragraph navigation
commands (CTRL+UP ARROW and CTRL+DOWN ARROW) as well as the commands
for reading the current line and current paragraph (INSERT+UP ARROW
and INSERT+NUM PAD 5) now working as expected, the document content
edit field now being properly recognized as a multiline edit, and JAWS
now speaking the correct label for the document content edit field and
no longer displaying it on every line in Braille.
• You can now use the JAWS cursor to navigate web page content in
Firefox.
• Resolved an issue where spaces in the content of some tables were
being ignored by JAWS.
• Resolved an issue where JAWS domain-specific settings for a specific
web page were not being loaded as expected in some situations.
• When pressing ENTER or SPACEBAR on a toolbar button, JAWS no longer
exits Forms Mode, enabling you to continue interacting with the
toolbar until focus changes.
• Resolved a reported issue with JAWS not reading form field
descriptions as expected when the aria-describedby property is applied
to a fieldset.
• When pressing INSERT+F5 to open a list of form fields on a web page,
addressed an issue where some fields were not being displayed properly
if they contained HTML markup.
• While typing into a multiline edit field, JAWS no longer exits Forms
Mode when the ENTER key is pressed to add a new line.
list end
Microsoft Outlook
list of 3 items
• Addressed a reported issue with shared calendars not being read by
JAWS in some versions of Outlook 2010.
• In the Outlook 2013 calendar, resolved a reported issue where JAWS
was not indicating the "checked" status of shared calendars.
• In an email message that contains tables, addressed a reported issue
where the SHIFT+COMMA and SHIFT+PERIOD keystrokes were not moving to
the beginning or end of the current table.
list end
Microsoft Word
list of 3 items
• If ALT+UP ARROW is pressed from the files list in the Open dialog
box to move to the parent folder, resolved an issue where this
keystroke would not work unless the Pass Key Through command
(INSERT+3) was pressed first.
• Addressed an issue with using the F11 and SHIFT+11 keystrokes to
move through form fields in a document.
• Resolved an issue where Research It could not be launched while
focused in the Backstage view.
list end
Skype
list of 1 items
• When using Skype in Windows 10, addressed an issue where JAWS was
not correctly announcing the title of chat windows.
list end
Windows Live Mail
list of 1 items
• Addressed a customer reported issue where information was not being
spoken as expected when selecting messages.
list end
Windows 10
list of 3 items
• In the Windows 10 Calculator, you can now press INSERT+CTRL+D to
move focus to the Display field so you can review a result, or the
numbers you entered for a calculation. If you are using a Focus
braille display, you can press D CHORD.
• Improved JAWS performance on the Windows 10 lock screen, which gains
focus when you press WINDOWS Key+L to log off.
• Resolved an issue where JAWS was announcing too much information in
the Choose Default Apps dialog box.
list end
Take care.
