This will insure that you don't inadvertently download this annoying Toolbar. You then need to tap the letter B two times or until you move to the (download Adobe Reader button) and then tap enter to start the download process. If you hear a blupey sound, this means that the program is being blocked and you will need to hold down Alt and tap the letter N. then tap your applications key, down arrow to install and enter. This will tell your computer that it is OK to download the program. You then will receive a message asking if you would like to run or save this file. Up-arrow to run and enter. The download process will start. It may take a few minutes to download. When it is dun, you will be placed on a install now button, tap enter on this button. You now will be placed on a next button, tap enter on this button. You now will be placed on another install button, enter on this button. Now just sit back and let it take care of it's self. When it has finished installing, you will be placed on a finish button. Just enter on this button to complete the install. Keep in mind at any time you would like to repeat the last prompt spoken, just use the JAWS repeat command insert plus tab. Now you will need to set up the program. The license agreement will pop up. Shift tab back to the except button and tap enter. Now an accessibility option screen will pop up all you need to do hear is tab once to (use recommended settings and skip setup button) and then tap enter. Now all you need to do is use alt plus F4 to close the program and the next time you receive a .PDF file you should be able to open it.

Goto to your options pane (Alt-T O). In Outlook 2003 you will arrive on a button 'Email Options' hit space. Now hit 'Alt-E' (Read all messages in plain text format' Hit enter a couple of times and you should be set. Now I don't know if you will like this option or not. Email in Outlook comes in three formats: 1. Plain text 2. HTML 3. RTF Jaws handles options 1 2 very well but has some problems with RTF also confusing is that there is another option in another portion of JAWS that specifies if RTF mail should be read in Outlook or Word. Personally I prefer when read in Outlook, but I have found some tables lock up JAWS/Outlook with Outlook using all CPU). And yes I have asked Freedom Scientific about this, but they were of little help since 1. I am using JAWS 7.1 2. I was able to prevent the lock-up by reading e-mails in RTF using the word option.

PEACE John Carvalho - Original Message - From: Ray Boyce [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: jaws-users-list@googlegroups.com Sent: Friday, January 26, 2007 8:08 PM Subject: [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
