Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS 13, MS Outlook 2003, and Quick Settings
This has nothing to do with JAWS, but I will tell you why I don't have SP3 since it came up in this thread. I installed SP3 and lost my wireless connection. I researched it, but could not find how to resolve the problem. Lots of people have had problems with SP3 from what I read online. There may be a simple solution to the problem I encountered, but I don't know what it is and I needed Internet access, so I decided not to reinstall SP3 until and unless I know how I can GET online when I have it. I know it probably installed without issue for the vast majority of people out there, but I know of two other people who had problems when they installed it, and I saw lots of things online about it, unfortunately I did not find how I could resolve it.

[JAWS-Users] Win XP SP3 and Wireless Issues
I've seen issues like that before. Usually, resolved by making sure you have the latest drivers for wireless. There is support available. For your consideration: 1. A machine that is not fully patched is NOT safe to use and should NOT be connected to the internet or any networks. 2. No Charge Support for all critical security updates and for WinXP SP3 is available 24/7, /should/ the need arise. 3. If WinXP SP3 isn't installed, your computer will NOT be offered any further critical security updates. All you should need is the driver for the wireless card in your laptop/desktop PC. Applicable Microsoft Knowledge Base articles are: Device Manager and Network Connections may be blank after you install Windows XP Service Pack 3 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/953791 Device Manager may not show any devices and Network Connections may not show any network connections after you install Windows XP Service Pack 3 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/953979 A Windows XP SP3-based computer loses wireless connectivity when it resumes from standby or from hibernation, or you receive an error message when you try to put the computer in standby or in hibernation: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/951447 Windows XP SP3-based client computers cannot access the network when some DHCP information is unavailable http://support.microsoft.com/kb/953761 WinXP SP3 - Read all prerequisites for a successful installation http://msmvps.com/blogs/harrywaldron...tallation.aspx Take my advice, I don't use it anyway.

Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS 12 Google
Donnie, What issue are you having with Google. You are about the third person to mention that, yet I have not noticed any problems with using google recently. I mostly use it on an XP box with JFW 12. But I also use it on a Win7 box currently with JFW 11. There is a link at the top of the page for screen reader users, and it turns off the instant search feature, which may be helpful. Also, I've noticed that occasionally, when I start typing into the edit box, it doesn't seem to take my keystrokes. However, if I then just click on the google search button, it pops me back into the edit box and I can again type into the field. -- Blue skies. Dan Rossi Carnegie Mellon University.

Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS 13, MS Outlook 2003, and Quick Settings
Install sp3 so you can get your updates. If you lose your wireless connection. Open up the control panel, system, device manager under networking, and look for your wireless device. If it don't show then unplug it and re plug to see if it shows. Now if it does show. Than hit the application key on it or right click. Then chose enable. It probably was disabled. For best results on installing sp3. you should be wired to the router so you don't lose connection on the reboots.

There may be a simple solution to the problem I encountered, but I don't know what it is and I needed Internet access, so I decided not to reinstall SP3 until and unless I know how I can GET online when I have it.

Leonard, I'm a little behind on my messages but, decided to get through them all today when I saw your message. As it happens, I set up my Gmail account in WLM today and remember reading something in the help section about your issue. I'm not sure if it will help you but, I sure hope it does. If not, try checking a little more out in the help section of your mail settings under the imap/pop section. I copied what I read and it is pasted for you below. Hope it helps.

The certificate's CN name does not match the passed value. Do you want to continue using this server?' Explanation: Make sure you've set up your mail client for IMAP1 access rather than POP2 access. In addition, please verify that you have entered 'imap.Gmail.com' rather than 'pop.Gmail.com' as your Incoming Server setting. This is all it said.

Re: [JAWS-Users] suggestion for the symnbols dialog
You might consider setting a shortcut keystroke for an often used symbol if you are using Word 2010. Freedom Scientific tech support made an Eloq.SBL file available to replace the default one, which makes it possible for JAWS to identify many more symbols in the Word symbols list. Once you find a given symbol that you need to frequently use, you can set up a shortcut key for it. This applies to the Eloquence synthesizer only. The Eloq.SBL file is found by opening your Programs or All Programs group, expanding the version of JAWS, expanding the Explore JAWS submenu, and opening the Explore JAWS settings menu item. It is a good idea to use F2 when focus is on the Eloq.SBL file and add a .BAK to the end of the file name to make it a backup. The replacement Eloq.SBL file can be downloaded from my dropbox by using the following link: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3951772/eloq.sbl The new Eloq.SBL file should be put in the same Shared Settings folder where the file being replaced resides. If you want to review all the entries for symbols under the American English group of the file, you will need to open the file using Notepad. Once in Notepad, you can use a Find command for the word English and you should be taken to the American English group. There are thousands of entries in the group. Each entry gives a symbol number, the Unicode number that represents the symbol and the name of the symbol. You can also search for a specific symbol and quickly find its Unicode representation. For example, the Maltese cross is represented by a U+2720, the Star of David as a U+2721, etc. Here is a link to a file that contains a table showing the hex and decimal values for symbols. With the document open in Word, you can perform a Find command to search for a symbol and check column six for its decimal representation that can be typed in by using the Alt key and the number pad. The numbers need to be used from the number pad. Once the new .SBL file has been placed in the Shared Settings folder, you should be able to better read the items in the Word symbols list. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3951772/Codes%20for%20symbols.docx Here is how you can add a shortcut key in Word 2010 to the Maltese cross: 1.Use Alt followed by N followed by U followed by M when in Word 2010 to move into the symbols page of the symbol dialog box. Tab to the From combo box and use up or down arrow key to select Unicode (hex). It is important to make that selection for all symbols to show correctly. Use tab or shift+tab to the font edit combo box and press A until you find the Arial Unicode MS font. The symbol might be listed under a different font on another system but I found it under the Arial Unicode MS font on my system. Tab to the subset and press D until you find the Dingbats item. Tab into the list of symbols. I had to use right arrow about twenty-eight times until I found the Maltese cross. Tab to the Shortcut key button and press spacebar. In the Press new shortcut key box, use a keystroke that will apply each time you want to enter the symbol. For example, Alt+CTRL+Shift+M could be used for the Maltese cross. Use whatever buttons you get to close and save changes. If you want JAWS to tell you the Unicode value instead of the ANSI value when you use the Read Current Character command three times quickly, you need to make the change in the Settings Center. Move focus into the JAWS interface window. Use Alt+U to go into the utilities menu. Use down arrow to the Settings Center menu choice and press enter key. In the search box type in the word Graphics. Press enter key on the graphics and symbols result. Expand the level and arrow down to the speak character value in hex choice and press spacebar to check the item if it is not already checked. Removing the checkmark will cause the Read Current Character to speak the ASCII code when pressed three times quickly. The code you use with the Alt key and numbers on the number pad is ASCII so you might want to leave it set that way to easily obtain those codes. If you search the Codes for Symbols document for the word check (without the quotes), you will find an entry for a checkmark. In column six of the row, the code is shown as 10003. If number lock is on, you can hold down the alt key and type 10003 on the number pad to insert a checkmark. You can also find it under the symbols dialog box in Word. Follow the same steps shown above for adding a shortcut key to the Maltese Cross, except after setting Dingbats in the subset of the Arial Unicode MS font, tab to the Select a Symbol box and use right arrow key to find either a checkmark or a heavy checkmark. Tab to the insert button and use spacebar to insert the symbol. Otherwise, tab to the button for adding a shortcut key combination and go through that process. If you prefer, you can set up an auto correction entry

Re: [JAWS-Users] suggestion for the symbols dialog
Hi Kimsan, Thanks for pointing it out to me. I think what happened is I had copied as a public link from Drop Box and then created a link from the link in my message because I didn't think the public link worked. When the file opens, try using the Save As command, and make sure the file name is symbols.SBL with nothing following the SBL extension. Tab into the save as type list and choose to save the file as a text file. Remember where it is being saved; you likely want to save it directly into the JAWS destination folder. Find the file and use F2 to rename it. Take the .txt off and have it called symbols.SBL. I think the other link in my message gives you a choice to save the other file. Take care.

Freedom Scientific tech support made an Eloq.SBL file available to replace the default one, which makes it possible for JAWS to identify many more symbols in the Word symbols list. Once you find a given symbol that you need to frequently use, you can set up a shortcut key for it. This applies to the Eloquence synthesizer only. The Eloq.SBL file is found by opening your Programs or All Programs group, expanding the version of JAWS, expanding the Explore JAWS submenu, and opening the Explore JAWS settings menu item. It is a good idea to use F2 when focus is on the Eloq.SBL file and add a .BAK to the end of the file name to make it a backup. The replacement Eloq.SBL file can be downloaded from my dropbox by using the following link: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3951772/eloq.sbl The new Eloq.SBL file should be put in the same Shared Settings folder where the file being replaced resides. If you want to review all the entries for symbols under the American English group of the file, you will need to open the file using Notepad. Once in Notepad, you can use a Find command for the word English and you should be taken to the American English group. There are thousands of entries in the group. Each entry gives a symbol number, the Unicode number that represents the symbol and the name of the symbol. You can also search for a specific symbol and quickly find its Unicode representation. For example, the Maltese cross is represented by a U+2720, the Star of David as a U+2721, etc. Here is a link to a file that contains a table showing the hex and decimal values for symbols. With the document open in Word, you can perform a Find command to search for a symbol and check column six for its decimal representation that can be typed in by using the Alt key and the number pad. The numbers need to be used from the number pad. Once the new .SBL file has been placed in the Shared Settings folder, you should be able to better read the items in the Word symbols list. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3951772/Codes%20for%20symbols.docx Here is how you can add a shortcut key in Word 2010 to the Maltese cross: 1.Use Alt followed by N followed by U followed by M when in Word 2010 to move into the symbols page of the symbol dialog box. Tab to the From combo box and use up or down arrow key to select Unicode (hex). It is important to make that selection for all symbols to show correctly. Use tab or shift+tab to the font edit combo box and press A until you find the Arial Unicode MS font. The symbol might be listed under a different font on another system but I found it under the Arial Unicode MS font on my system. Tab to the subset and press D until you find the Dingbats item. Tab into the list of symbols. I had to use right arrow about twenty-eight times until I found the Maltese cross. Tab to the Shortcut key button and press spacebar. In the Press new shortcut key box, use a keystroke that will apply each time you want to enter the symbol. For example, Alt+CTRL+Shift+M could be used for the Maltese cross. Use whatever buttons you get to close and save changes. If you want JAWS to tell you the Unicode value instead of the ANSI value when you use the Read Current Character command three times quickly, you need to make the change in the Settings Center. Move focus into the JAWS interface window. Use Alt+U to go into the utilities menu.
