Well, First off nearly all of the Run Commands Correspond to a particular Control Panel Item or a Utility, Tool or Task that can be accessed through W*NDOW$. There are, however, tools and utilities that I bet you never knew you had that can be accessed through the Run feature. The main reason most people don't use the Run feature is because they don't know the Commands.

[JAWS-Users] using windows easy transfer
Another great post from our own research department, keep them coming Ray. David Ferrin *** Using Windows Easy Transfer to transfer your data to a new computer Table of Contents List of 7 items 1. Introduction 2. The types of data can be transferred 3. Preparing the computers to use Windows Easy Transfer 4. Using Windows Easy Transfer with a Easy Transfer Cable 5. Using Windows Easy Transfer over a Network 6. Using Windows Easy Transfer with Removable Media 7. Conclusion list end Introduction When purchasing a new computer one of the most frustrating experiences is moving existing data to the new computer from the older one. In the past when you wanted to transfer data you had to copy the data via a network, store it onto a DVD/CD/Floppy and then copy it back onto the new PC, or physically take the hard drive out of the old machine and install it into the new machine. The main problem using these methods was that you could only move files such as documents, pictures, movies, saved games, etc. E-mail could be moved but was a difficult a process. Moving settings and program configurations, on the other hand, was not possible, except for the experts, and you had to reconfigure each of the applications on the new computer. Windows Vista changes all this with a new bundled application called Windows Easy Transfer that can easily migrate data from Windows XP SP2, Windows 2004 SP4, and Windows Vista operating systems. Windows Easy Transfer is a program that comes bundled with Windows Vista, and when run, scans our computer for data and settings that you can transfer to your new computer. This migration can be done via a myriad of methods including USB flash drives, DVDs, a network, or by using a new product called a Vista Easy Transfer Cable. What makes this program so powerful and easy to use is that it is wizard driven so you just answer questions, make sure all of your data was properly selected, and then press a button to start the transfer. For this tutorial, we will focus primarily on migrating our data using the Vista Easy Transfer Cable or via a network. We chose these two methods as they are the easiest and quickest methods to transfer your data. The types of data can be transferred Using Windows Easy Transfer you can migrate most files and program settings. Below is a table describing the types of data and settings that can be moved. Table with 2 columns and 7 rows Data Type Specifics Files and Folders Any files found in your My Documents, My Pictures, and Shared Documents folder will be selected to be moved automatically. You can also add other documents that are in other locations. E-mail messages and Settings E-mail messages, contacts, account settings, and address books from Outlook Express, Outlook, Windows Mail, and other programs. Program Settings Programs that are compatible with Vista will have their settings transferred to the new computer. In order for this properly to work the program must already be installed on the Vista computer. User Settings Desktop settings, color settings, screen savers, fonts, Windows options, printers, etc. Internet Settings Favorites, cookies, and Internet Explorer settings. Pictures, Video, and Music Music files, playlists, and album are. Pictures (gif, jpg, bmp files) and personal videos. table end Preparing the computers to use Windows Easy Transfer Before you use Windows Easy Transfer on your older computer you first need to install the software. The three methods that can be used to install Windows Easy Transfer on the old computer are: List of 3 items . The Windows Vista DVD . A CD that comes with an Easy Transfer Cable . Media that we create via the Windows Easy Transfer program in Windows Vista. list end The two easiest methods are to use the Windows Vista DVD to install the program. To install the software off of the Vista DVD just insert it into the old computer and when the setup menu appears click on the Transfer files and settings from another computer option. If we have autorun disabled then open the DVD and double-click on the setup.exe program. The setup screen is shown below. Vista DVD Setup Screen Figure 1. Vista DVD setup screen If you purchased a Vista Easy Transfer Cable then insert the CD that came with it into the old machine and install the software. If these two options are not available then follow the instructions below in order to create installation media using the Vista's Windows Easy Transfer program. The following instructions should be performed on our new Vista computer. List of 11 items (contains 1 nested list) 1. Click on the Start button. 2. Click on the All Programs menu option. 3. Click on Accessories 4. Click on System tools 5. Click on the Windows Easy Transfer icon. 6. When Windows Easy Transfer starts, click on the Start a new transfer option 7. At the next screen you should click on the My New Computer option. 8. When it asks if we have an easy transfer cable, click on the option labeled No, show me
[JAWS-Users] office 2007 for Victor
Our man Ray has been a busy fellow. Never the less Victor might find this of interest. David Ferrin *** Hi Dave Victor has posted that he is having problems with Word 2007 but from what I have read he is using Jaws 7 and he should be using Jaws 8. Anyhow here is what the New Features are with Jaws 8 using Word 2007. Special Characters in Microsoft Word JAWS now recognizes the following special characters in Microsoft Word: . Soft hyphen - Press CTRL+HYPHEN to insert a soft hyphen. . Non-breaking hyphen - Press CTRL+SHIFT+HYPHEN to insert a non-breaking hyphen. . Non-breaking space - Press CTRL+SHIFT+SPACE to insert a non-breaking space. Table Description in Microsoft Word JAWS 8.0 can detect the color pattern and shading of table cells in Microsoft Word. For example, if a cell is 50 percent shaded with a clear background, JAWS will announce, Gray 50 percent shaded on clear pattern background. Table description is on by default. Note: This functionality is not currently available in Word 2007. Press INSERT+TAB if you want JAWS to repeat the cell description. To disable table description, do the following: List of 4 items 1. Open a Word document. 2. Press INSERT+V to open the Adjust JAWS Verbosity dialog. 3. Use the ARROW keys to select Table Description, and press SPACEBAR to turn off this item. 4. Close the Adjust JAWS Verbosity dialog. Reading Tables in Microsoft Word The following JAWS keystrokes, used for HTML tables on Web pages, can now be used with Word tables: . Say Next Row - WINDOW Key+DOWN ARROW. . Say Prior Row - WINDOW Key+UP ARROW. . Read Current Row - WINDOWS Key+5. . Read Current Row - WINDOWS Key+COMMA. . Read Current Column - WINDOWS Key+PERIOD. . Say Next Column - WINDOWS Key+RIGHT ARROW. . Say Prior Column - WINDOWS Key+LEFT ARROW. An error message is announced if a key is pressed while not in a table. JAWS always announces if the keystroke is entered while in the first or last row of the table. Bullet Type Indication in Microsoft Word JAWS can now read an outline-style list that contains bullets rather than numerals. For example, if a Word document contains an outline list that uses different bullet styles, JAWS announces these shapes as filled-round bullet, hollow-round bullet, star bullet, and so on. Bullet Type Indication is on by default. To disable bullet type indication, do the following: 1. Open a Word document. 2. Press INSERT+V to open the Adjust JAWS Verbosity dialog. 3. Use the ARROW keys to select Bullet type indication, and press SPACEBAR to turn off this item. 4. Close the Adjust JAWS Verbosity dialog. Reading Footnotes, Endnotes, and Comments in Microsoft Word When you turn on the Comments, Footnotes, Endnotes verbosity option, JAWS now detects the presence of footnotes, endnotes, and comments even when performing the Say All command. If you want JAWS to announce the contents of a footnote or endnote in a Word document, do the following: 1. Open a Word document. 2. Place the cursor on the footnote or endnote reference. 3. Press ALT+SHIFT+E. JAWS reads the footnote or endnote. If you want JAWS to announce the contents of a comment, do the following: 1. Open a Word document. 2. Place the cursor on the comment reference. 3. Press CTRL+ALT+APOSTROPHE. JAWS reads the comment. I do not know whether this will help him or not. What do you think. He might have to buy Jaws 8. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ Visit the JAWS Users List home page at: http://www.jaws-users.com Address for the list archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/jaws-users-list%40googlegroups.com/ Address to contact the management team: [EMAIL PROTECTED] You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups JAWS Users List group.

[JAWS-Users] Progress Bar Announcements in J 7.0 OE
Hi All, I'm still trying to set up JAWS 7.0 to my liking and JFW is still announcing the percentage of downloaded mail when I do a Control-M in Outlook Express and progress bar announcement updates is set at off in outlook express 5-6.jcf - JAWS Configuration Manager. I have cable, so it's rather annoying and JFW 6.2 didn't announce the progress with announcements set at 5 second intervals. I tried setting them at 5 second intervals in 7.0, but it didn't help. JAWS often announces 100 % twice just to be sure I might not have gotten it the first time. I looked at the Technical Service Bulletins for OE at the FS site and there weren't any related to the problem. I have XP Home with SP2 and it's OE 6 and IE6. I haven't tried changing the setting in the default.jcf - JAWS Configuration Manager since there might be a program where I might want announcements. Has anyone experienced a similar problem or am I missing something here?

Conclusion list end Introduction When purchasing a new computer one of the most frustrating experiences is moving existing data to the new computer from the older one. In the past when you wanted to transfer data you had to copy the data via a network, store it onto a DVD/CD/Floppy and then copy it back onto the new PC, or physically take the hard drive out of the old machine and install it into the new machine. The main problem using these methods was that you could only move files such as documents, pictures, movies, saved games, etc. E-mail could be moved but was a difficult a process. Moving settings and program configurations, on the other hand, was not possible, except for the experts, and you had to reconfigure each of the applications on the new computer. Windows Vista changes all this with a new bundled application called Windows Easy Transfer that can easily migrate data from Windows XP SP2, Windows 2004 SP4, and Windows Vista operating systems. Windows Easy Transfer is a program that comes bundled with Windows Vista, and when run, scans our computer for data and settings that you can transfer to your new computer. This migration can be done via a myriad of methods including USB flash drives, DVDs, a network, or by using a new product called a Vista Easy Transfer Cable. What makes this program so powerful and easy to use is that it is wizard driven so you just answer questions, make sure all of your data was properly selected, and then press a button to start the transfer. For this tutorial, we will focus primarily on migrating our data using the Vista Easy Transfer Cable or via a network. We chose these two methods as they are the easiest and quickest methods to transfer your data. The types of data can be transferred Using Windows Easy Transfer you can migrate most files and program settings. Below is a table describing the types of data and settings that can be moved. Table with 2 columns and 7 rows Data Type Specifics Files and Folders Any files found in your My Documents, My Pictures, and Shared Documents folder will be selected to be moved automatically.

[JAWS-Users] Re: question about reading attributes
Hi Sharon Here is a learning module on Formatting a Document It explains quite a lot.. Please everyone do not get upset about this post as I am only trying to help. This learning module is entitled, Formatting a Document. This lesson demonstrates several formatting options available in the HJPad program, as well as techniques of locating and identifying text with specific format attributes. Currently, the only two programs that I've got running are JAWS for Windows and HJPad. My application focus is in the HJPad application. Let's open a document to work with. Ctrl+O c:\jaws451\training\enu\format.txt Good, we're in the document with the insertion point at the upper left-hand corner of a document that I have opened called, Format.txt. The Format.txt document is a letter that we wrote to our lead trainer, Dan Clark. The primary focus of this lesson is going to be on formatting a document. The whole idea behind having a prepared document like this one for you to work in is to show you how easy it is for you to go back after you've gotten all of your ideas typed up, and then carry out your formatting to make your document look more professional or academic, whatever applies to your situation. As we format this document, I'll be showing you some techniques to verify that a particular formatting action has been carried out. And finally, we'll be taking a look at several options that JAWS has built into it that will allow us to proof our document for content, format attributes, or both. I'm going to press the say all command and have JAWS read a little bit of the document that we've got up on the screen, and then I'm going to press the CTRL key to silence speech. I'll press INSERT+DOWN ARROW now Rover Red. One hundred eleven any street. My town comma, my state, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero dash zero, zero, zero, zero. Freedom Scientific BLV Group comma LLC period. Eleven thousand eight hundred thirty-one S-T Court end period. S-t period. Petersburg comma, F-L. Thirty-three thousand seven hundred sixteen. Dear Mr period Clark colon. It is not often that I get a chance to write such a letter. In any event, I'd like to take this moment to thank you for your kind, gentle, and professional manner while training our class on JAWS. So as we hear, we've just got a bunch of text up on the screen. Nothing's been formatted and everything is aligned along the left margin of this document. I'm going to go ahead and return my insertion point to the top of this document, CTRL+HOME. Top of file. blank So we hear blank, and we're on a blank line at the top of the document. However, I'd like for the date to appear at the top of my document. Insert time and date can be found within the Insert pull down menu, which is under Insert on the menu bar. So I'm going to press ALT+I to activate the Insert pull down menu. Alt I. Menu active. Insert. Date and time dot dot dot And this is the only item in the Insert menu. I'll press ENTER to open the date and time dialogue. Enter. Leaving menus. Date and time dialogue. Available formats colon list box. Three slash five slash ninety-nine. One of thirteen. Now this Insert format list box contains eleven different ways to let somebody know what day it is, and two different ways to let them know what time it is, should we choose to. We can navigate this list view in the usual way, either by arrowing through it or first-letter navigation. So if I wanted to let the recipient of my letter know that I wrote on a Friday, as opposed to 3/5/99, I could simply press the letter F and my focus will move to the first item in this list beginning with the letter F. I'll go ahead and do this now. F. Friday comma, March zero-five comma, nineteen ninety-nine. And we've got a few other options in this list beginning with Friday, but I'm just going to select this one. I'll press ENTER. Enter. Edit. We hear that my application focus moves back to the main document edit field, and I'm going to do a say current line where I'm at right now. Friday comma, March zero-five comma, nineteen ninety-nine. We hear that this has been inserted into our document on that blank line that we generated. Now let's say that I also want to let my recipient know what time this letter was written. I'm going to go ahead and activate the Insert pull down menu. ALT+I. Menu bar. Menu active. Insert date and time dot dot dot. I'll press ENTER to open the date and time dialogue. Enter. Leaving menus. Date and time dialogue. Available formats colon list box. Three slash five slash ninety-nine. One of thirteen. And I know that I'm in the ten o'clock hour here, so I'm going to press the number 1 to jump to the first item beginning with ten, or the number 1 rather. One nineteen ninety-nine dash zero-three dash zero-five. I'll press it again. One ten fifty-eight colon zero a-m. And I'm going to go ahead and select this and press ENTER on it. Enter. Edit. Now if I do a read

[JAWS-Users] RAM
I have JAWS 6.0 and XP home. For months I have been having trouble with my DSL. I have had the Bell South people on the phone and out to the house a couple of times and nothing seems to help. My problem is that I consistently get kicked off of the internet and OE, as if I had dial up. The problem was worse when I had a faster speed. A person who deals with computers told me that I may have too little RAM (whatever that means) and maybe I could transfer some of my RAM to my hard drive. How do I find how much RAM I have and how much is available. Is it worth it to transfer any to the hard drive?. I looked in control panel and looked in system but didn't find much information.

[JAWS-Users] Re: RAM
Hi Rich, Who ever told you that you needed more ram because your computer kept kicking you off the net should never be let near your computer again, and should be shot for even thinking that all your problems can be solved by getting more ram. That myth went out in the eighties with the advent of knowledge. In any case, if you are sure that you have DSL and not cable high speed internet, I would probably check out your time out settings and the hang up when finished stuff. More than likely, your time out settings are too low. First of all, go into the tools menu and select options. Once there, control+tab over to the connections tab and make sure that hang up when finished sending and receiving is unchecked. Once you've unchecked it, tab over to the apply button, press spacebar, then shift tab over to the o.k. button. Your next step is to check out the time out settings for your various e-mail accounts. In case you're wondering, the time out settings is the time at which point the computer considers your connection inactive and will sometimes disconnect or give yup on downloading a particular message. This sometimes occurs when you get large file attachments. In any case, go back into your tools menu, then into the accounts dialog box. Once there. select the account your are using, if you have multiple accounts, then you'll have to do it for all the accounts individually. If you see a large number of items in the list box, then tab once and right arrow to the mail tab. This will highlight the e-mail accounts that are set up in OE. Sorry to dumb this down for you, but for the benefit of others who aren't as experienced as you may be, they might want to check their settings also. Of course, I have no way of knowing how much experience you have, so better to err on the safe side. Now that you have the account highlighted, tab over to properties and press spacebar. Once in the properties dialog box, control tab over to the advanced tab, tab down to where Jaws says, server ports time out settings. This will be a slider, and you can press page down or page up to either increase or decrease the time out value, respectively. In this case, you want to increase the time out value, so press the page down key until Jaws reads 100%. At this point, tab over to the apply button and press the spacebar., followed by the shift tab to the o.k. button and press it again. Remember, as I said, you'll have to increase the time out settings on all of your e-mail accounts, so don't think you're finished. As for the ram issue, while performance can lag a bit if you don't have enough of it, I believe, and someone may correct me if I'm wrong on this, the minimum required ram for running windows XP is 128 megs of ram, and if you want to run it optimally, 256 and above is recommended. Either way, if you want to check out how much ram you have, go to your desktop, and highlight your my computer icon. Once you've done that, press the applications key and arrow up to properties. This will open up a dialog box with all your system's information. You can either use the jaws cursor, by pressing the minus key on your number pad, or the caps lock+P followed by the caps lock+left bracket to route the jaws cursor to your pc cursor. At this point, you'll be able to arrow down the dialog box and read all the information that is in that dialog box. The other option is to virtualize the window by pressing insert+control+W and reading the information that way. In either case, let us know if this information helps you, and I would be curious to know exactly how much ram you have on your computer for your friend to say that. Please note, that the ram information will be right below the CPU speed, just in case you get bogged down by all the numbers.

[JAWS-Users] Re: RAM
Hello Rich, What version of Windows are you using? 95 and 98 could have performance issues around the swap file size particularly as the hard drive becomes more fragmented and more completely filled. I am unaware of similar issues under XP but unaware is the operative concept. Adjustments to the swap file which is the only mechanism I am aware of which sort of moves RAM out to disk is the only thing I can think of that they might be referring to. It shouldn't disconnect your DSL though. Frankly I doubt RAM is the issue, more likely some or other bug, a hijacker, worm or virus or dialer or possibly something in a security setting. In my opinion XP Pro at least has a feature which includes random alteration of various settings which I don't remember enjoying under 95 or 98, if that is what you are experiencing then I don't know, I haven't figured out how to disable that pleasure yet myself.

My problem is that I consistently get kicked off of the internet and OE, as if I had dial up. The problem was worse when I had a faster speed. A person who deals with computers told me that I may have too little RAM (whatever that means) and maybe I could transfer some of my RAM to my hard drive. How do I find how much RAM I have and how much is available. Is it worth it to transfer any to the hard drive?. I looked in control panel and looked in system but didn't find much information.

[JAWS-Users] Re: RAM
Hi, I agree 110%. There could be a few different reasons for his problems, but lack of RAM isn't one of them.

That myth went out in the eighties with the advent of knowledge. In any case, if you are sure that you have DSL and not cable high speed internet, I would probably check out your time out settings and the hang up when finished stuff. More than likely, your time out settings are too low. First of all, go into the tools menu and select options. Once there, control+tab over to the connections tab and make sure that hang up when finished sending and receiving is unchecked. Once you've unchecked it, tab over to the apply button, press spacebar, then shift tab over to the o.k. button. Your next step is to check out the time out settings for your various e-mail accounts. In case you're wondering, the time out settings is the time at which point the computer considers your connection inactive and will sometimes disconnect or give yup on downloading a particular message. This sometimes occurs when you get large file attachments. In any case, go back into your tools menu, then into the accounts dialog box. Once there. select the account your are using, if you have multiple accounts, then you'll have to do it for all the accounts individually. If you see a large number of items in the list box, then tab once and right arrow to the mail tab. This will highlight the e-mail accounts that are set up in OE. Sorry to dumb this down for you, but for the benefit of others who aren't as experienced as you may be, they might want to check their settings also. Of course, I have no way of knowing how much experience you have, so better to err on the safe side. Now that you have the account highlighted, tab over to properties and press spacebar. Once in the properties dialog box, control tab over to the advanced tab, tab down to where Jaws says, server ports time out settings. This will be a slider, and you can press page down or page up to either increase or decrease the time out value, respectively. In this case, you want to increase the time out value, so press the page down key until Jaws reads 100%. At this point, tab over to the apply button and press the spacebar., followed by the shift tab to the o.k. button and press it again. Remember, as I said, you'll have to increase the time out settings on all of your e-mail accounts, so don't think you're finished. As for the ram issue, while performance can lag a bit if you don't have enough of it, I believe, and someone may correct me if I'm wrong on this, the minimum required ram for running windows XP is 128 megs of ram, and if you want to run it optimally, 256 and above is recommended. Either way, if you want to check out how much ram you have, go to your desktop, and highlight your my computer icon. Once you've done that, press the applications key and arrow up to properties. This will open up a dialog box with all your system's information. You can either use the jaws cursor, by pressing the minus key on your number pad, or the caps lock+P followed by the caps lock+left bracket to route the jaws cursor to your pc cursor. At this point, you'll be able to arrow down the dialog box and read all the information that is in that dialog box. The other option is to virtualize the window by pressing insert+control+W and reading the information that way. In either case, let us know if this information helps you, and I would be curious to know exactly how much ram you have on your computer for your friend to say that. Please note, that the ram information will be right below the CPU speed, just in case you get bogged down by all the numbers.
