The only problem is that I don't remember upgrading to version 30.

If we can't look at ourselves, and ask, why?  then where does the learning 
start?

Did this problem start when you updated to Firefox 30?  Perhaps the problem
is with the latest version of Firefox and not with JAWS.

Hi Robert,

I just tried this with FF 29.0 to make sure it works with your problem as
well.  Following the steps also allow you to use the Jaws cursor if it's
needed at some point:
You can use the JAWS Cursor  navigate with arrow keys in Firefox after
turning off Firefox's hardware acceleration setting.
1. In Firefox, press ALT+T to open the Tools Menu and then choose Options.
2. From the Advanced options, choose the General tab.
3. Press TAB to move to the Use Hardware Acceleration when Available
checkbox. Press the SPACEBAR to clear it, then press ENTER to close the
dialog box.
4. Close  reopen Firefox.
HTH
Take care.

To navigate ribbons more efficiently the ribbons need to be maximized.  The
keystroke is, control + F1.  This keystroke is a toggle so, this keystroke
will maximize  minimize.  To check if the ribbons are minimized / maximized
do the following:
1. Press the, Alt key, to open the ribbons.
2. Open the context menu with either the application key or, shift + F10.
3. Arrow up or down to the, Minimize, option.  If, Minimize, is checked, the

I am sorry to hear that you are having trouble with the ribbons on window

that you are used to using will still work.  The second thing is that you
should go into your jaws startup wizard and check the box to enable virtual
ribbons.  This will let you navigate a lot closer to the way you are used to
doing.  The only other thing is to let you know that you have to tab through
the ribbon sometimes and arrow the rest of the time.  The good news is that
you can get used to them with just a little practice.  They are going to be
around for along time and become used with a lot more programs in the

you're still using the ribbon. Something you'll eventually get used to.
Hardest part is figuring out where to look for things you used to find all
the time.

Remember that if you are using the JAWS virtual ribbon, the tips don't work.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] setting margins in word 2007 using jaws 15.


I have a friend who is taking a class at Braille institute and he just 
called me
and asked me this. How do you get in to the margin area while in word? He 
needs to
know how to set margins. Apparently there is a command to use to do this, 
and I
don't know it. we are both using W7 and jaws 15. Thanks for your help. Jim

[JAWS-Users] Speaker volume adjustment

2014-07-09 Thread Richard Hamel
Hi all,
  I have JAWS 15.0 and Win 7, and a sound bar for my speakers.
A friend was helping copy a music CD to my PC the other day, and had “JAWS” off.
When I turned the computer on, the sound quality sounded muffled. Almost the 
difference in stereo vs mono.
Usually my volume is around a number 4 setting, now I have to have it at 14.
I searched around control panel and the volume features but could not influence 
the quality of the sound.
I checked the balance and a few other options but nothing made a difference.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Rich

[JAWS-Users] Reading All Alt Tags on a Web Page

2014-07-09 Thread Thad C
Greetings List,

I am new to JAWS. I am trying to read a Web page that is mostly
images. Every image has an alt attribute, however I can only get JAWS
to read the alt text on images that are linked. I am trying to do a
Read All action by using [insert key] [down arrow] but JAWS still only
reads the images that are linked (have an anchor tag). Can anyone make
suggesting on how to read the whole page including every image that
has alt text?

Thanks
