Re: [JAWS-Users] jaws not reading everything in OE

If I'm downloading something no matter what it is jaws will act like this in OE. When I arrow down it will say unread, unread, unread, without speaking the message, also when I arrow down through the folders it will not speak the folders. The way I fix this is to restart jaws.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Microsoft Word 2007 and Jaws 10 Problem
Brian, Thank you for this information.Yes, I did realize that you had typed control page up and control page down for moving from page to page. This is one of the ways I had found to move from page to page and then I also have found that in print preview you can go to the end of the page, press the end key and then right arrow and this will also take you to the next page. More steps involved but if not in a hurry I sometimes use this. I especially liked the function in MS Word 2003 where when you were at the end of the page you could just press your down arrow to get to the next page. The down arrow alone was a lot simpler method but since I was having to use the control page up and down to get to the previous or next page I thought it might be a setting that i had inadvertently changed. However, I guess as programs evolve we should be ready to change our methods for performing a certain task as well.

If you have been navigating by fields, using the find command or navigating using certain other elements then those controls will not move by page. For example, if you have used the find command then the CTRL+page down will find the next occurrence of your search string. You can use CTRL+G, shift+tab to the go to box and pick page and then type a page number in the edit box. When you use the go to button, focus should go to that page. Your CTRL+page up or CTRL+page down will return to moving by page. This works best in the print view. Use the CTRL+Alt+P to switch into print view. The problem with the outline view is that it is for a person to view a document using different levels of viewing. A person can choose to view by heading 1, 2, etc., and keystrokes such as the tab key work differently in that view. If only certain levels of headings are chosen to be viewed then you can easily jump past pages. There could be three, four or more pages between the headings being viewed and so pages between those headings will not be viewed. Again, the best view is really the print view. The CTRL+page up, CTRL+page down and the go to part of the find dialog should work for you. Take care.

Now that is out of the way the problem I am having is Jaws only seems to want to read in the Print Preview mode/ outline view. The reason this is a problem is if there is a lot of pages involved then Jaws tends to want to skip pages and has trouble transitioning from one page to another one. I usually have to go to the end of the page and press the end key after that I have to do a right arrow to get to the next page. Is there a more compatible view that Jaws will read in?

[JAWS-Users] Jaws 11, SMA 12, SMA 13 and another issue dealing with Caps Lock key
Friends, This is the first time I have purchased upgrades for Jaws. Can I go to the FS activate website and activate or authorize the Jaws 11 to run as a full version? Or will I have to insert the CD I got with my first version in order to do this? If I can just go to the FS Activate site then it will be a lot simpler process. I downloaded Jaws 11 a while back and was running it as a demo. I purchased these upgrades yesterday and was told that I would recieve something in the mail in about a week. Now, another issue I am running into using caps lock key, I alot of times will type my subject line with caps lock key on however, if I forget to turn caps lock key off until I am in the body of the message when i go to type after turning the caps lock key off it will wrap my screen to the bottom or will jump me up into the send to fields. Is there a setting that will correct this and keep it from happening? I also notice sometimes when typing in MS Word 2007 that if I go to delete a letter it may delete the whole word in order to correct this I have to do a refresh of the screen, I also notice that when this is happening I can left arrow and it may only read one character of the word that has been typed. When this is happening if I need to delete more than one character I may end up deleting a whole sentence. Right arrowing it will read normally. In order to correct this behavior I have to do a refresh of the screen. Is there a permanent correct for this behavior? I am having these problems on my Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Microsoft Word 2007 and Jaws 10 Problem
Hello Josh, If you are working in print layout view in word 2007, you should still be able to use down arrow key when on the last line of a page to move to the next page. If the cursor is on the last character on a page, using right arrow key should also be moving focus to the next page. If the cursor is at the top of a page, the up arrow key should be moving the cursor to the bottom of the previous page. If the cursor is in the first character position on a page then the left arrow key should move the cursor to the last character position on the previous page. This behavior has not changed and should be working if you are using print layout view in Word 2007. If you are using the page layout mode in Word 2007, the right and left arrow keys and the up and down arrow keys should be switching pages. You can click on the screen and use arrow keys for their normal functions, but unless you do that you should be moving a page at a time with right arrow and down arrow keys moving toward the bottom of the document, and focus should move back toward the top of the document a page at a time when using up or left arrow keys. JAWS should speak the page numbers as you use the arrow keys in this layout. In Word 2007, if you use the full screen choice for viewing, the system starts using the page layout mode. JAWS does not work well in this view, but if you have some sight to use when reading the screen then you might like that mode as you can just use arrow keys to move between screens or pages of information. When working in the page layout mode there is no status bar showing at the bottom of the screen, and there is no ribbon at the top of the screen. You can still read the one line of status type information at the top of the window by moving to the status bar using function key 6. Using right and left arrow keys on the status line will move between choices. One of the choices is view options. The default setting for this mode is to show a page at a time. In the default mode, you can use arrow keys to move a page at a time. The very top line of the window will contain a view options button that when clicked will give a menu of choices. You can choose to view two pages at a time, increase or decrease text size, show the printed page, and make other choices. If you choose to use two pages at a time, JAWS will jump two pages at a time when using the arrow keys. The top line of the screen will also show pages 1-2 of so many, 2-3 of so many, etc. Again, this view is a full screen reading view and enables focus to be moved one or two pages at a time by simply using arrow keys, but it is not the best view to work in if you are depending on JAWS for getting information and you are unable to use your sight for reading the screen. The Alt+delete key combination will still let you know the page that is active. You can press escape key to leave the screen layout mode. There is not a Word hotkey for page layout mode but you can easily add one if you want to use that view. The print preview option is different than the print layout view. One difference is that the zoom level goes to 50 percent in print preview. Take care.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Upgrading to Windows 7
Hello- I had to make that switch a few months ago when my old computer passed into the great recycle bin in the landfill. If you go to the Microsoft website you can read about each of their versions and compare their features with your own needs. It isn't a bargain to buy a system that will not meet all of your needs. For example, I work in both English and in Spanish. When I bought my computer it came with MS Home and Student (something like that) but it did not have a language pack. I chose to upgrade to 7 Ultimate because it did have the multi-language capability and other features I wanted. I had to pay an additional $100 American for the boost. After you review the different features I am sure to best one for you will become apparent.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Microsoft Word 2007 and Jaws 10 Problem
Brian, I am starting to lean more towards this being a Jaws problem rather than a Microsoft problem. I seem to lose focus quite a bit when in Microsoft Word now. So, along with it jumping pages and wanting to only read one character of a word when left arrowing I am thinking I may need to do a Jaws repair or just go ahead and figure out how to authorize my Jaws 11 demo. When I open up Microsoft Word I am automatically in the print layout view and the zoom is set at 100 percent. Sometimes when opening up the MS word document Jaws is sluggish to respond to the command and start reading . however, today I opened up the MSW document and had no problems. I do not notice these problems as often using the Jaws 11 demo. I purchased 11 along with SMA's 12 and 13 over the telephone, so now just have to figure out how to activate it. Thank you very much for all your help on this matter. - Original Message - From: Brian Lee brianl...@charter.net To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Saturday, September 18, 2010 1:30 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Microsoft Word 2007 and Jaws 10 Problem Hello Josh, If you are working in print layout view in word 2007, you should still be able to use down arrow key when on the last line of a page to move to the next page.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Upgrading to Windows 7
FRancis, Let's take this from the beginning. If you choose to upgrade to Windows 7, that is of course your decision. But, I'd like to raise some points of consideration first. 1. What reasons do you have for wanting to upgrade? Some of us, such as myself, do some assistive technology training, and therefore, I have chosen to have access to XP, Vista, and Windows 7. Since my wife is also blind, I can steal her Win 7 machine if I need to check something. If your current programs etc. are working fine, there is no immediate reason to upgrade unless you either just want to use it or for work-related reasons you need to start using Windows 7. You should know that, as long as you have Service Pack 3 for XP, it will be supported by Microsoft for another four years. 2. Have you made sure before you upgrade that your machine and its peripherals will support Windows 7? I would recommend installing the Microsoft Windows 7 upgrade advisor and see what it reports. After that, take a look at your printer and scanner drivers, look on the manufacturer's site for each and make sure they have drivers that will support Windows 7. Some manufacturers with older equipment don't support either, while others may have drivers for the 32-bit version but not the 64-bit version. 3. There are several versions of Windows 7. The Basic version is stripped down and only used in the sub-powered netbook computers. Your option for most home users is Home Premium. There is also a Professional version that adds some network enhancements like more secure company network domain log-on, and the ability to run in XP simulation mode; and ultimate which builds on the enhancements in Windows 7 professional such as BitLocker to secure your personal data from theft or loss. For a comparison, see http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/compare/default.aspx 4. Legally, you are supposed to buy the full version because you supposedly can't upgrade from XP to Windows 7 directly. However, if you look around, you will find articles that will tell you how to upgrade using the upgrade copy of Windows 7. That will save you a fair amount of money. For example, http://www.windowssecrets.com/2009/11/12/02-Clean-install-Windows-7-from-the-upgrade-disc Take my advice, I don't use it anyway. Steve Lansing, MI - Original Message - From: Francis E.

It should also work with JAWS 11 and later. I understand that there are many experts on what Windows 7 does and I hope you can give me advice on what I can buy.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Upgrading to Windows 7
If you decide your computer hardware, software, printer, scanner, and all other peripherals are compatible, I think you would probably want the Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade. If your computer has XP, it is eligible for the upgrade. In performing an upgrade from XP to Windows 7 a clean, or what Microsoft calls a custom install is required. This means it must format the partition and install fresh. If you have enough hard disk space, you might want to install as a dual boot system, also called side by side, where it installs Windows 7 in a new partition and leaves XP installed in a shrunken partition. This allows you to choose when starting the computer which OS you want to use for that session. If you decide to buy the upgrade, Amazon has it available for $109.99. http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Windows-Home-Premium-Upgrade/dp/B002DHLUWK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8s=softwareqid=1284841485sr=8-1 $177.14 Since the link is so long, you might need to cut and paste the link. Actually, it might be just as easy to go to Amazon.com and search for Windows 7 upgrade. It will be the first result. Go to the results quickly by pressing the 1 key.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Braille display Issue in Notepad and Perky Duck
Hi jerry, This may be because every new line - a hard line break, when the enter key is pressed - is treated as a paragraph break, thus making a new one begin in cell two or cell three (to conform with the correct brailling rules), in Notepad and in Perky Duck. If you have the full forty cells filled in one line, then isn't it likely that there will be a single space left in cell one of the next braille line to mark the word separation, which might be important if you have the display refreshing automatically? (I can't speak to perky duck, not having it.) the paragraph setting in Outlook and word may be set to two line-spaces rather than just one. if reading a print line in Notepad of more than 40 characters that wraps, I believe the remainder of the print line will start over on cell one of the next braille (as it will happen, shorter) line. the braille line beginning in cell two or three may be quite correct for beginning a new paragraph in braille. I do have Duxbury braille Translator, and I know that there are settings available there to enable beginning a parargraph on cell one. - Original Message - From: Jerry Berrier jerry.berr...@comcast.net To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Sunday, September 19, 2010 12:51 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Braille display Issue in Notepad and Perky Duck Hi, I think the margins are only for printing.
