These instructions must then be passed on to some sort of hardware device which responds to these MIDI instructions by outputting an audible response in what ever format you choose. Most computer sound cards have a very basic set of inbuilt sounds and while they sound pretty terrible, they'll do the job. You could load your MIDI track into Goldwave which I'm told is quite accessible and using your sound cards inbuilt wave map, output / mix / render the audio to mono stereo wave or even the dreaded mp3 HTH.

JAWS will read a merged range of cells the same way it does a single cell and will tell you the range. In your example you might have a lot of information to listen to at once. When you merge information in Excel 2007, you are placing data with the same data value in a range of cells instead of into one. If you have information already in several cells and try to merge them then Excel will let you know that there are cells with different data values trying to be merged and it will keep only the data in the top left cell of the range. Usually merging is done for such things as long strings of text like a title or a company name. You can still use F2 to go into edit mode and read the text like you would in a word processor. Using up and down arrow keys will move from line to line within the merged range, pressing CTRL+home will go to the beginning, etc. When in edit mode in Excel the insert mode is on so you can add words between others, you can select and delete a specific amount of text in the range, and so forth. Your reading, navigating and editing commands should all work for you if you go into edit mode by using function key 2. If you want to add a new line in the cell then you need to use Alt+enter key to force the line break. If you use enter key then you will be brought out of edit mode. If you want to remove the merge and work with single cells then move focus into the merged range of cells and use CTRL+1 to bring up the format dialog. If the page of the dialog that appears is not the alignment page then use CTRL+tab until the alignment page tab is active. Use tab key to move across the controls in the alignment page until you get to a checkbox that determines whether or not merging is to be used. If the merge cells checkbox is checked then use a spacebar to remove the checkmark and tab to the OK button and press enter key. Take care.

[JAWS-Users] Unmerging Merging Cells in Excel 2007
Hello, How can I unmerge and merge cells back to the original layout in Excel 2007? I can pick a cell and unmerge it; problem the spreadsheet I am working with has many merged cells throughout the workbook in a variety of locations. In order to see what is hidden from JAWS and make edits I need to unmerge the cells. Problem is putting the workbook back to the way it was originally after I unmerge the cells for the sighted people who also need to use this spreadsheet and like the formatting, with all of the merged cells throughout the workbook.

Press Alt key followed by F to activate the office button. 2. Press the letter I to open the Word Options dialog. 3. Use down arrow to the proofing category. 4. Use Alt+C to bring up the custom dictionaries dialog box or you can also tab to the button and press spacebar. 5. You can check out the controls in this dialog box by tabbing. One of the choices will be to edit the custom.dic file. If you press spacebar on that button you will get a child dialog that lets you enter new words and has an add button to be used after adding the new words. There is also a list of the words in custom.dic and you can verify that the words you add are added to the list. In the parent dictionaries dialog you will find buttons for creating new custom dictionaries, removing a custom dictionary, etc. Take care.

Hello, How do you Label Edit boxes in Web Applications that do not have labels'? I can tab to the edit box and Jaws 10 does not speak the title of the edit box. I want to resolve so I know what to type in the edit box. Some edit boxes do not act like edit boxes. These edit boxes are like you are just typing on the screen, not within an edit box.

Had to access the tool bar. Details are below, . I activated the decrease button in the tool bar once my line is highlighted. Seemed to move all of my bullets, but that works for what I wanted. Navigating Word Toolbars The Microsoft Word toolbars are fully accessible with JAWS. For best results, you may wish to ensure the Standard and Formatting toolbars are not sharing one row. To do this: Select Tools, Customize. On the Options page, clear the Standard and Formatting Toolbars Share one Row check box. Press ENTER. To navigate to the Word toolbars, first press the ALT key. This moves you to the menu bar. Press CTRL+TAB to move to the first toolbar. This is generally the Standard toolbar. Press TAB or SHIFT+TAB to move through the buttons. Press ENTER to activate a button. Press CTRL+TAB again to move to the next toolbar, which is usually the Format toolbar. Press CTRL+SHIFT+TAB to move to the previous toolbar. Word provides many toolbars for many purposes. Choose which are displayed under View, Toolbars. Any displayed toolbar can be accessed using this method. Floating Toolbars Some toolbars in Word float over the document edit window. Floating toolbars are sometimes difficult to access with the keyboard and can obscure document text. Therefore, JAWS automatically docks all floating toolbars in Word. Once a toolbar is docked, you can access it using the commands described previously. If you want to make the toolbars float again, press INSERT+V, select Dock Floating Toolbars, and press the SPACEBAR to choose Off for next time. Your changes take effect the next time you start Word. -Original Message- From: jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Bill Tipton Sent: Thursday, February 26, 2009 11:02 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] Word 2003 - left indent button tool bar How do you find and activate the left indent button in the tool bar in Word 2003?
