[JAWS-Users] Problem with word.
Hi. Below is detailed information about a problem that I'm having with Word. Someone came back to me to tell me how to resolve it, which I did at the time, but the problem has occurred again and I can't remember how to fix it. Can anyone help by reading the text below? Thanks. Sue. I was given a copy of Microsoft Office from a friend 12 months ago and my computer is now telling me that it's not genuine. I've downloaded Genuine Microsoft Advantage, but I'm not sure what to do next as Windows can't open the program when I select it from downloads in Vista. I've heard that there's something called Open Office which is free, but I don't know anything about it. Does anyone on this list use it? If not, how can I make my copy of Microsoft genuine. I'm really stuck so please help!!! Thanks. Sue. For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
Re: [JAWS-Users] IE 8 and menu bar problem
Hi Norma, Just because FS says a particular version of Jaws doesn't support a particular application, doesn't necessarily mean that it won't work with it. I am still using Jaws 6.2 with IE 8, and except for some websites, it works fine for me. Results will always vary from system to system. HTH, Rick Justice - Original Message - From: Norma A.

[JAWS-Users] JAWS and the folder list tree view in Thunderbird
Hi, Is anyone else having the annoying problem of JAWS saying tree view everytime when arrowing through the folder list in Thunderbird? Is there any way to fix this, or is it something I have to live with until a next JAWS update comes out?

Re: [JAWS-Users] IE 8 and menu bar problem
My observations are not based solely on anecdotal information. Eric Damery himself, manager of software development for Freedom Scientific, confirmed that IE 8 should be compatible with JAWS 9.0.2191U. Many users who have complained about JAWS 9 not working with IE 8 had never updated to the latest build. Indeed, some users have no idea which build of JAWS 9 they are running, and many never bother to check for updates. But if you are running JAWS 9.0.2191U and are still experiencing problems with IE 8, it may not be a JAWSissue. Other users have also reported that they have been able to use IE 8 successfully with JAWS 9, so I'm not the only one. Gerald - Original Message - From: Norma A.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Problem with word.
Well, you are either asking for something illegal, like getting a cracked copy of Microsoft Office. If you want a genuine copy, you need to buy one. If somebody gave you one, you are technically in violation of the EULA. Obviously, it is showing up as not genuine because they have been sharing their copy and it is probably been activated too many times. As to your second question, Open Office is not very accessible.

[JAWS-Users] How well does JAWS work from users of IBM's Lotus product?
Hi all. I use JAWS with Microsoft Office. But what exactly does IBM Lotus include for JAWS users, and does JAWS stay constantly up-to-date with version3.x that appears to be the latest release? How well does email work (if a client is provided) etc? Does it work better (or less) than Microsoft Word? What document types can JAWS users save documents in, can we create professional documents with it? Does it have menu bars, ribins, or what? I'm curious if JAWS13 will keep the support for it going? I'm also wondering if future updates will keep that Lotus product going as well such as the cool minor builds Freedom Scientific releases now, up to the final release of a new release? I've liked how you folks kept JAWS11 updated even though you did release JAWS12 and such, for instnace. I hope you will do that for JAWS12 users as well, Eric and others at Freedom Scientific. But since Eric is the product manager, I'd like to hear from him on that. If other users who have used JAWS with IBM Lotus can ttestify for me on how well it works and some of the layout questions I asked like menus etc, acrossed the apps, how well email works if that is provided, if IMap is supported, and so on, I'd kind of like to know. I'm considering trying it. But I don't want to install it without knowing what I'm gettting myself in for. I am on Windows Seven sixty four bit, so does IBM Lotus work with this? I will not downgrade my OS just because it does not work if that is true.

[JAWS-Users] Outlook 2003 question.
Hello all, Somehow when I open my e-mail my new messages are at the top and spread all over my in-box instead of the bottom of my in-box. I want my new messages at the bottom of the in-box like they used to be and not spread all over the in-box. How do I fix this? This problem occurred yesterday and I still haven't heard from anyone on the blind-computing group, so I wanted to send my message to that group again plus the jaws users group. My e-mail program that I use is outlook 2003. All I did was plug my USB cable into my computer that came with my N86 phone so if someone that was going to call to help me with my phone the person wouldn't have to wait for me to plug in the cable. Seems strange that a USB cord would have changed the sequence of the way e-mail comes into the in-box. Again my e-mail program is outlook 2003 not outlook express.

[JAWS-Users] Major JFW 12 problems with Firefox
Hello list, I have been having all sorts of trouble with Firefox and the latest Jaws 12 release. In particular the Google Reader page. I wanted to share what I'm experiencing and see if it may just be an issue with my machine or if others are dealing with the same problems. I have Google Reader as one of my homepages and when I launch Firefox, Jaws always behaves as though the virtual cursor is turned off. In fact, Jaws will say Application Mode On. In order to get Jaws to work properly, I have to do an insert+z keystroke command and then Jaws will say Application Mode off. I'll then be able to go around the page with no problems. This particular issue only started when upgrading the Firefox 4.0 and is still present with the latest Firefox 4.0.1 update. If while in Firefox and I go back to my Google Reader page, either by clicking on the Reader link from another Google site or through my saved bookmark at least 70% of the time, the Application Mode On issue comes up. I have noticed a marked increase of instances of Mozilla crashing with this latest Jaws release as well. Again, it happns most often while on the Google Reader page and while in Firefox in general. Either when I go to the Google Reader page, close a link that I had opened from Google Reader or simply by just having the page open or refreshing the page with the insert+escape key command. Upwards of 10 times a day. It would happen every now and then with the earlier versions of Jaws 12, but it has become a constant with the latest JFW rlease. I at first thought it was an issue with Firefox or perhaps a rogue add-on, but I have tried disabling add-ons and plug-ins and Firefox was still crashing left and right. When I use an older version of Jaws (11.0) however, Firefox not only never crashes, but the over all responsiveness of the browser and JFW feel over all snappier and better. With JFW 12, using the browser had become painfully slow either through regular navigating from page to page as well as when trying to refresh a page. Seconds would go by before Jaws would be able to speak. Not to mention the crashing problem. Jaws would outright crash much more frequently too. I don't experience the browser crashing issue in IE8, but the over all sluggishness with JFW 12 is present along with using other applications. I at first thought that I had been infected with a virus or other malware, but with the older version of 11.0, my computer is much, much more responsive. I do however experience the Application Mode On issue with JFW 11.0 as well. So maybe it's a Firefox 4.0 thing in regards to this. There are a couple of other problems, but the ones above are what are giving me the most problems. Is anyone else experiencing any of these problems or have any ideas on what may be causing it? Like I said, when using JFW 11.0, a lot of what I mentioned above doesn't happen. All my antivirus and malware stuff is up to date. I was going to shoot an email off to Freedom Scientific, but wanted to get feedback from other Jaws users as well. This is the first time a new Jaws release has given me this much trouble since I don't know when and want to be sure it's perhaps not something on my end.

I've downloaded Genuine Microsoft Advantage, but I'm not sure what to do next as Windows can't open the program when I select it from downloads in Vista. I've heard that there's something called Open Office which is free, but I don't know anything about it. Does anyone on this list use it? If not, how can I make my copy of Microsoft genuine. I'm really stuck so please help!!! Thanks. Sue.
