[JAWS-Users] modifications to the web site
The home page no longer automatically refreshes every 60 seconds. I got a few requests to make it do that and I got a couple of others to make it stop so I took out the code that forced the auto refresh. Also I got tired of people saying that they couldn't access certain links because I have been using pop up windows so not all but some of those links have been changed. Basically everything other than the tips and tricks page and the programs page where the links indicate documentation along with the download link are now standard links. Will I ever get around to doing those things folks, to be honest I have no idea because I would need to modify over 300 HTML files. For the most part people will need to learn how to open a pop up window. I just got tired of hearing my web site was not accessible, I can promise you it is 100% blind friendly as the vast majority of you already know. Hopefully this email doesn't sound overly harsh or anything like that, I'm just informing the membership what is going on in the background. I like doing this so things will continue as always.

[JAWS-Users] daily information
Daily Tip: Can Spam One way to avoid spam is to avoid posting your email address online in forums or other public areas. Although you may think doing so is harmless, predators often scan forums for email addresses to send spam to. If you must type your email address in a blog posting or online forum, be creative. For example, instead of typing your address as myaddr...@mydomain.com, type, myaddress at mydomain dot com. Daily Term: link rot This term refers to links on Web pages that have become outdated as the Web pages the links refer to are moved or taken down. Clicking on such a link usually results in a This page cannot be found message. David Ferrin Most people don't know what they're doing and a lot of them are really good at it.

Yes you are absolutely correct, and to be honest that is how for the most part the page is going to stay because to completely modify it would entail a massive amount of work at least several hours or days depending on other things since for every pop up window that opens a document there is a corresponding link to close that window.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Trying to get a Power Braille 40 to workwithalaptop with only USB ports
You configure the serial settings on the USB-to-Serial adapter to match those on the printer, i.e. 19200,8,n,1 for baud rate, data bits, parity and stopbits. Match those to whatever your printer prefers. Then, you assign it to a comm port. You will see the configuration parameters if you go to device managers, ports and lpt, and look for your usb-to-serial adapter there.

Re: [JAWS-Users] daily information
Interestingly, I was just having a conversation about spam and harvesting of email addresses, just the other day. One function that is available in the email specification that most people do not know about, and even some email clients won't support is the extended address. You can put a plus sign between your ID and the at sign. And then you can put anything you want between the plus sign and at sign. Most email clients will just accept the information between the plus and at, and ignore it. Why is this useful? You can use that information to more easily filter incoming spam, or see just who has sold your email addi to the spammers. For example, say I am leaving my address on some blog site, because it requires an email address to leave a comment or something. I can put in, as my address. dr25+blogcomm...@andrew.cmu.edu If I ever get an email from somewhere and the To address is dr25+blogcomm...@andrew, I know where they got the address from. Or, say I want to make use of a one time coupon or something on a web site, but know they will start sending me crap every week, stuff that I don't want. I can sign up on the site with an email address of dr25+nos...@andrew.cmu.edu and then create a rule in my email client that says, anything with a To address of dr25+NoSpam, or even just anything with NoSpam in the To header, just delete it. It doesn't always work because some web sites won't accept the extended address, or they are smart enough to remove any extended part of the address when they spam you.

Once you have the computer communicating to the embosser, you should be able to find it by just opening the print command. - Original Message - From: Mark Torgerson marktorger...@my180.net To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Friday, December 10, 2010 10:09 AM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Causing a USB adapter to be recognized as a printer,was,Re: Trying to get a Power Braille 40 toworkwithalaptop with only USBports Hi Steave, OK, once I get the computer talking to the embosser how do I make the USB adapter show up in my list of printers. Right now all I want to do is print graphics. So, I need too be able to dump an image file or a screen to the embosser. For the moment I am not so worried about translating the text to braille. I am running JAWS 12 and windows 7. Thank you for your help.

Re: [JAWS-Users] excel headers
There are various ways to accomplish this. For a great explanation, download and listen to the JAWS tutorial from the JAWS Help menu (Insert + J) Training, and select the Column and Row Titles in Exceltutorial. One way is to set cell names in Excel, which are stored in the Excel worksheet and work in any newer version of JAWS without configuration. This is also an advantage if sharing worksheets to other JAWS users. Place focus on the intersection of where your row and column titles meet. Hit the Applications key and select Name a range Type in the word Title, without the quotes and hit Enter. I think it might pick this up automatically, but I always double check the settings. Press Insert + V, for the Adjust JAWS Settings. I collapse the first group by pressing Left Arrow. Then I press the Down Arrow once and press the Left Arrow again to collapse the second group. Now Arrow down through the Headings settings and verify that they are set properly. The Read Heading Titles should be set to Both, and the row and column values should reflect your intersection cell. A second method is to place focus in the intersecting cell as before and go straight to the Adjust JAWS Settings (Insert + V). Again, go down to the third grouping and press the Spacebar to change values that need to be set. These will be stored in the Personal Settings and will be applied to this file in the future with this version of JAWS. It is not easily shared and would need to be set in each version of JAWS used.
