Take care.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Caret browsing

[Flor Lynch]

The Route JAWS to PC keystroke is, Insert or JAWSKey Insert plus 
NumPadMinus; no ctrl key. (With the ctrl key, it's drag-and-drop - a whole 
other ball game.) However, it doesn't have the desired effect on Web pages - 
at least, in my experience of a sighted user trying to read what I was 
reading with JAWS. The caret browsing feature is not aimed for us; I think 
it interferes in some way with our navigation of pages, although it's been a 
while since I played with it to an extent. Best way to know is to try these 
things out  - trial and error - with a sighted companion. Perhaps the 
solution that'd suit the sighties most would be to turn off the virtual 
cursor with JAWSKey+z, and then use one of the two proposed 'solutions' - 
that would usually hamper our JAWS use on Web pages and with other similar 
environments.

Two suggested remedies mentioned are caret browsing, invoked by f7, and
JAWS cursor follow PC cursor, invoked by pressing insert plus control

I beg to differ, but on web pages pressing insert plus control plus 
numpad minus turns on JAWS cursor follows PC cursor.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Caret browsing

[jeff]

Pardon me,
The information you shared was incorrect.
Control + Insert + Numpad Minus

Is indeed the way to toggle tethering of the JAWS cursor to PC
Try it yourself

Drag N Drop is
Control + Insert + Left Mouse Button

HTH

Actually, try it yourself

Drag and drop, according to the search command feature on JAWS 17 is

Hi Flor,

The, control, insert / jaws key, + Jaws cursor / Numpad minus key toggles 
the Jaws cursor to follow the PC cursor.

Control, Insert, + Numpad slash is the drag & drop keystroke.

[JAWS-Users] List Guidelines Reminder

[Moderator]

Hello and welcome to the JAWS Users list. This list has been created for The
purpose of discussing all aspects of the JAWS for Windows screen reader
Program.

So everything that pertains to JAWS is fair game. Such as asking about what
software packages work well with JAWS or how to make them work even better
with scripts, keyboard short cuts and so forth. Another example could be
requesting information on how to do something in Microsoft Word, which as we
all know works very well with JAWS, but you need to know how to do a certain
task or want to learn a way to accomplish it more efficiently.

Now this is a very important point in my opinion, asking the list for exact
instructions every time is not a good thing to do for a major reason. It
creates a dependency situation even if you don't realize it does. The ideal
place I am hoping the list will arrive at some day is that everybody no
matter how new they might happen to be with JAWS or computers will have the
confidence to try things on their own, and yet feel if they get stuck the
list will be there to help put them back on track. Trust me when I say that
help is quicker to arrive for somebody who is well known to ask for it last
than first. So try it yourself first whatever it is. If you get stuck then
let the list know what you've done to try and resolve your current dilemma.
Then I'm sure help will arrive with in short order. Next a post asking if
there is a software package that does a specific task and works well with
JAWS is perfectly fine.

The rules of conduct are quite simple and straightforward. Be polite and
Patient with others. There will be absolutely no fighting, and no bashing of
Freedom Scientific on here at all. If you have a problem with them then take
it up with Freedom Scientific directly.

Please try to keep subject lines relevant and descriptive as possible.

Signatures and tag lines should not be more than a couple of sentences,
three or four at the most. If you wish to include a tag line, don't make
another message of it. Placing anything else in there simply increases the
bandwidth required to handle the posted message and make it more work for a
person who wishes to follow the given thread back to review previous
messages, as they have to plow down past an overly long signature. Also
please place your message above your signature line so as not to force
people to read it before they get to your message.

Also any newsletters except those that directly pertain to JAWS should not
be posted to the list prior to receiving moderator approval.

Attachments are removed before any message is sent to the list. This is done
for your protection. The message list might state that there is an
attachment but in fact Mailman does remove them.

When contacting any of the list moderators privately please be descriptive
in the subject line as to the purpose of the message. Many of us simply
delete messages from people we don't know. At the present time there are
over 650 subscribers to this list, so we can't possibly know everybody on
here.

Also, if you have a question for the list that falls within the guidelines,
then post it accordingly. Don't contact the management team with questions
that are more appropriate for the list itself. Your question may or may not
receive an answer for a number of reasons.

Everybody should familiarize themselves with the content contained in the
footer message that accompanies every message posted to the list.

Occasionally there might be some difficulty with your email address and you
may receive an email from the server asking you to reactivate your account.
Please do not simply delete this message. Instead open it and follow the
directions to reactivate your account. If you do not after receiving a
number of such messages then the server will remove your email address
automatically.

The discussion of anything illegal is absolutely forbidden, along with
flirting or other such inappropriate activities. This is not a high tech
swap shop or anything of that nature at all. This means that goods and or
services will not be bought or sold using this forum. If you know a given
subject is off topic then don't post it. Simply placing off topic in the
subject line does not make it all right. Cross-posting is not permitted, and
members should only post in the following manner:

Using the TO: field with only one list address. The reason for this is that
in cases where people setup their message rules to go by the to: field often
times such rules get fouled up and in effect do not work properly. Also
cross posting might allow you to reach many lists at the same time but the
fact is such a post might not be on topic for each and every list. This
practice does nothing but clutter up such lists with
unwanted off topic messages along with annoying the list moderators.

The SUBJECT: field should be short and to the point without including any
member names.

Please do not reply to a posted question simply to say you don't know

[JAWS-Users] Problems with spell check in MS Word

[The Iowa Gal]

Hi listers,

I'm using Jaws 16.0.4468 with MS Word 2010. I am spell checking a document,
and when I find a spelling error, I hear: 

Spelling and Grammar  English (US) 
then the misspelled word 
then spelling and Grammar English (US) 
then blank where the correctly spelled word would be spoken

How can I set spell check to be less verbose and how can I restore the
normal reading of the correctly spelled word? As you can assume, it is
virtually impossible to spell check a document in this way, so if someone
can help me I would really appreciate it.

Thanks,
Norma
