[JAWS-Users] the tips and tricks page
I just wanted to post that it is in the middle of a rewrite at this time. You will notice that the headings will be rearranged alphabetical but other than that the changes will be internal for organizational purposes. The reason is the page has grown like the rest of the site much larger than I expected and the directories are getting cluttered. I would also like to announce that the home page has been hit over 7000 times since last March 17 when I first put a hit counter on it. So it would seem keeping up with it should remain on my schedule of things to do. This list now has 241 members, personally I'm impressed.

Lisa; try downloading the very latest version of JAWS as a demo and install it, you can obviously try that to see how it works but then if you go back to running the old version of JAWS it should have updated stuff like the video intercept sufficiently to do the job.

The revised version is up as of now folks. It has been changed around a little compared to it's earlier self. The headings are now in alphabetical order and some of them have been renamed as well. Also there are a couple of new headings to mention. The most important to me is the heading for outlook and outlook express since those files listed there apply to both programs. I've done the same with the CD/DVD programs as well.

I now have a much clearer understanding of what I'm dealing with. I purchased this program for my son because he needed it to do his home work. He is sighted so this is no problem for him. When I called places like best buy and circuit city to get prices for this program I asked about Word 2003, and they told me that they no longer sell that version. So I have a few choices here I can either upgrade my jaws, continue using HJ pad for letter writing, or purchase a copy of Microsoft Word 2003. I'm not sure what I'll do yet, but if I decide to get Word 2003, do you know where I can buy a copy of that program? Again thanks for your help! Take care, Lisa - Original Message - From: Victor Gouveia To: jaws-users-list@googlegroups.com Sent: Sunday, March 11, 2007 9:29 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Re: Jaws and Microsoft Word 2007 Hi Lisa, I have a similar problem, or at least, I had a similar problem as you. I was running Jaws 7 with Xp home, and installed Office 2007 as an upgrade to my 2003. If you think the menu items are screwed up, you ought to see how it displays an already modified document. According to my brother, 2007 displays almost like Internet Explorer 7, with tabs and the like to navigate between multiple documents. If you use the classic shortcut keys, such as alt-F or alt-T or other shortcut keys that you use to access the old menu bars, you'll find that they do work, however, they open a new set of menus. The menus, as you've already heard, have been completely re-designed and are called a ribbon, or an information ribbon, so some such name like that. In any case, when I opened an already modified document, such as a user's manual for my MP3 player, it displayed the multiple pages side by side, and when I used the arrow keys to go through the document, it would read the information on both sides of the window. So, if the first line on page 1 was hello, and the first line on page 2 was goodbye, when I got there with the arrow, Jaws would read it as hello goodbye. Very confusing if you don't know what you're reading. As I had already read the particular user's manual I opened, I knew what the first page should say, and was confused when Jaws read something from page two. In any case, as was stated on another response to your question, you'll have to upgrade to Jaws 8 to use Office 2007, or just keep trying to make the current version of Jaws you have work with it. I wasn't able to do this and had to uninstall 2007 and go back to 2003. Unfortunately, I didn't have any time to play around with it as I needed MS Word for work I was doing at the time, but if I had had more time, I would have played around with it and tried to see if I could make it work with earlier versions of Jaws. The good news is that Office 2003 is very compatible with Jaws 8 and lower, and I have had no problems using it. In fact, I think you'll enjoy using it more than HJ Pad, and even more than Office 2007. I mean, comparing HJ Pad to Office 2003 is like comparing a farm wagon to a Rolls Royce, the two are miles apart from each other in terms of what you can do, but if you just want to write letters and the like, farm wagons aren't that bad as letter writing goes, but if you can afford it, I would definitely go for the Rolls Royce.

I bought my Microsoft Office 2003 Pro for a very good price from Price Grabber: http://www.pricegrabber.com/search_attrib.php/page_id=169/form_keyword=Microsoft+Office+2003+Pro/rd=1/ Mine is an OEM License, PC, you can install it only on 1 PC and it comes with the CD only, but it was much cheaper! Best wishes, Aran. - Original Message - From: Lisa To: jaws-users-list@googlegroups.com Sent: Monday, March 12, 2007 3:18 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Re: Jaws and Microsoft Word 2007 Hi Victor, thank you for responding to my question. I now have a much clearer understanding of what I'm dealing with. I purchased this program for my son because he needed it to do his home work. He is sighted so this is no problem for him. When I called places like best buy and circuit city to get prices for this program I asked about Word 2003, and they told me that they no longer sell that version. So I have a few choices here I can either upgrade my jaws, continue using HJ pad for letter writing, or purchase a copy of Microsoft Word 2003. I'm not sure what I'll do yet, but if I decide to get Word 2003, do you know where I can buy a copy of that program? Again thanks for your help!

I was running Jaws 7 with Xp home, and installed Office 2007 as an upgrade to my 2003. If you think the menu items are screwed up, you ought to see how it displays an already modified document. According to my brother, 2007 displays almost like Internet Explorer 7, with tabs and the like to navigate between multiple documents. If you use the classic shortcut keys, such as alt-F or alt-T or other shortcut keys that you use to access the old menu bars, you'll find that they do work, however, they open a new set of menus. The menus, as you've already heard, have been completely re-designed and are called a ribbon, or an information ribbon, so some such name like that. In any case, when I opened an already modified document, such as a user's manual for my MP3 player, it displayed the multiple pages side by side, and when I used the arrow keys to go through the document, it would read the information on both sides of the window. So, if the first line on page 1 was hello, and the first line on page 2 was goodbye, when I got there with the arrow, Jaws would read it as hello goodbye. Very confusing if you don't know what you're reading. As I had already read the particular user's manual I opened, I knew what the first page should say, and was confused when Jaws read something from page two. In any case, as was stated on another response to your question, you'll have to upgrade to Jaws 8 to use Office 2007, or just keep trying to make the current version of Jaws you have work with it. I wasn't able to do this and had to uninstall 2007 and go back to 2003. Unfortunately, I didn't have any time to play around with it as I needed MS Word for work I was doing at the time, but if I had had more time, I would have played around with it and tried to see if I could make it work with earlier versions of Jaws. The good news is that Office 2003 is very compatible with Jaws 8 and lower, and I have had no problems using it. In fact, I think you'll enjoy using it more than HJ Pad, and even more than Office 2007. I mean, comparing HJ Pad to Office 2003 is like comparing a farm wagon to a Rolls Royce, the two are miles apart from each other in terms of what you can do, but if you just want to write letters and the like, farm wagons aren't that bad as letter writing goes, but if you can afford it, I would definitely go for the Rolls Royce.

[JAWS-Users] Question about check disd
Hello everyone, This question is for Denny, or anyone else who can answer it. I was reading the PC maintenance on the jaws users website, and I got to the check disd. When I follow all of the steps it says I must restart my computer for the check disc to run. It says that it will do the check disc before windows starts up. I have my computer password protected, so I have to put in my password before windows starts up. Will this interfear with running a check disc? Should I follow those directions, or should I do something different since my computer is password protected? I just wanted to clear this up first, so I don't screw anything up. I just want to say thank you to Denny for writing that PC maintenance page! The instructions are very easy to follow.

[JAWS-Users] Re: FINDING YOUR REMAINING MEMORY
In every class I have taught about computers, the term memory capacity is often used to refer to the computer's ability to store data. Perhaps it is a turn of phrase with which you aren't familiar. Unfortunately, I followed your directions using Jaws and did not get the result you indicated. The message referred to MS DOS CAPACITY 0 and that's nonsense. According to my Disk Defragmenter, I have 63% remaining which is far from 0. I believe that there might be a step missing or that I am misunderstanding your directions. Finally, I would like to suggest that you avoid being quite so abrupt and rude in future. I have seen you in a lot of trouble here before and many people were happy and willing to assist you. Your lack of familiarity with the terms I used is no excuse for rudeness, especially given the fact that I made a reasonable request in a polite and non-confrontational manner.

Unfortunately, the directions Flore provided were missing a step or 2. Other than that, they were right on. Here's the part that was left out. Before attempting to read the status line using the Jaws + Page Down or number pad 3, go to the View menu and make sure that your Status Bar is turned on by pressing B.

I just wanted to clear this up first, so I don't screw anything up. I just want to say thank you to Denny for writing that PC maintenance page! The instructions are very easy to follow.
