Evening folks.

I apologize if I had asked this question before. How can I turn a MS Word
2013 document into an editable document from a read only document? I am using 
Jaws 17, Word 2013 and Windows 10 on a Dell laptop. Many thanks in advance.

I forward messages using the top line menus.  Alt M gets you the message 
menu and f gets you forward.  No need to remember hot keys. After 
hitting f a new email pops up with the forwarded text below it You 
should land right on the "To" line.  Many roads up Thunderbird mountain.

Re: [JAWS-Users] function key fix

[wayne smith]

Hey Mike, My Asus was so simple.  I could hold down the Function key and
turn the touch pad off and on, adjust brightness, set up an external display
and so on.  Why would HP even have a Function key if it is so difficult to
make work.  Do you have an extra barstool?  I love the signature line and I
am sure that my wife will be crazy about it too.

Re: [JAWS-Users] web site and jaws

[Adrian Spratt]

Hi, David.

I've just gone through the process up to the point of selecting Rome as a 
destination. Let me see if I can recall the steps.

First, there is a line near the top of the page, as JAWS reads it, that asks 
you to "continue" in English. Although JAWS doesn't say it's a link, it is. I 
pressed enter.

On the next page, I went down to the link for "flights" and pressed enter. ON 
the next page, I went down to "return" and made that selection.

Now I was presented with several options, one of them being an edit field that 
shows the website recognized my location. That is, the field named New York and 
the local airports. As I say, it's an edit field, so if I wanted, I could enter 
another city or airport. Clearly, it's meant for my departure and ultimate 
return location. I kept it at New York.

Right underneath that edit field is one that's unlabeled. I took a chance and 
typed in Rome. 

After waiting a moment, I refreshed the page with JAWS key+escape, and not only 
Rome appeared, but also the relevant airports.

I stopped there.

I hope this helps you and your client get you over the initial hurdle.

https://www.tripadvisor.ca/

I thought perhaps someone has used this site.
Let's say, for example, I would like to setup a trip for Rome.

Hi.
What are the difficulties you are having?
I had heard of the site before and may have even been there on some occasion, 
but I can't really recall. Lookingg at it now, it seems fairly straightforward, 
and potentially useful..I should start writing reviews.
Looks like they could use more headings on their site to make for quicker

Trip advisor?

One of my client's asked me if there was an easy way to use the web site.

Perhaps some tricks/pointers in planning a trip, checking out different hotel

It's never too late Kim. I usually prefer Braille to sound although I use
sound as a supportive tool if I need to scroll fast on documents or if
Braille misbehaves, but naughtily enough, I prefer working, with the help of
Mr. Jaws and my display of course, while I am listening to music mostly from
stations around the world. It is a pity that Pandora radio, a network
purporting to include everything in terms of musical genres, is not
available in Europe yet.

HI.
Yes, but I imagine (hope?) both those programmes are cofigurable.
Alphabetical order is no way I would ever want to store music except on my

Re: [JAWS-Users] Interesting Issue

[JM Casey]

Hey Jerry.

I'm not familiar with the programme you used to rip these files, but most
ripping software will let you choose both how the filenames are structured,
and what sort of metadata is contained within these files. The way I
formerly had my filenames structured, what you described would also happen.
I had the filenames like this:
Artist name - track number (without preceding 0s) - track name.

This makes for easy reading but doesn't always work well with players. Since
my girlfriend's car stereo has a port for a uSb drive, I've now changed the
format to the way most people do theirs. iE, the first track on an album is
just named "01 - trackname.mp3" or somesuch. I'm not even sure the stereo
reads the metadata at all; it seems to work by filename. Anyway, just see
how your ripper is set up and work from there. There should be documentation
explaining how to alter the format.

[JAWS-Users] files in numerric order

[Karen Schrade]

If you want the files to be in the correct numeric order, you have to add a
0 or two 0s if you've got hundreds. You'd need 01, 02, 03, then, after 09
would come 10. If you've got hundreds, you'll need to rename your first file
001, eventually get to 010, then, finally get to 100 etc. thankfully,
renaming that way isn't a major task. karen

Going to have to edit the file metadata. I've always used MP3Tag for this. A
quick Google search will bring up the page.
I use an older version since it's always worked well for me and is fully
Jaws accessible. I tried upgrading once, but found it wasn't as intuitive as
the version I was using.
In any event, editing the tags so the files are labeled 01, 02, 03, etc as
far as numeration will resolve that issue.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] a short introduction

Hi all,

My name is Panagiotis, (usually known as Takis) Antonpoulos, and I am a
professor of Byzantine history and history of western Europe (5-15th
century) at the University of IOannina here in Greece. I am congenitally
blind and a long standing user of jaws, currently its last version, and a
Handytech Active Braille display. This gives me some issues, just as Word
does, but my purpose was only to introduce myself to you.

With Best
Wishes,

Takis

Thanks Mike, I think that this is my last HP machine.  I have too many
issues with them.  I am nervous about going into that bios.  I am not an
advanced user and I don't want to create bigger issues.

Hi Wayne,

I did a few Internet searches, & it seems that for your HP laptop, as well
as many other HP laptops it requires going into the bios to reverse the FN
key useage.  Check out the link below:

Sorry my braille crystal ball can't see into HP operating systems.

Mike,
Exactly correct on that
I played around as to what I could have hit accidently and function key
escape fixed it, it toggles between lock and unlock.

That is the brand of lap top I have.. so you hit it right on the button
everywhere..
Have a great day mike and go pack go...

Hi Andy,

It sounds like you're using a laptop, but unless you tell these good folks
the make & model it'll be a guessing game.  If it's a lenovo, try, FN key +
Escape.

[JAWS-Users] Audacity on Windows 10 Creators update

[David Bailes]

If the audio editor Audacity is used with Jaws on Windows 10 Creators
update (version 1703), then Audacity can crash. Fortunately, there are no
problems with other screen readers, so you can use NVDA, for example, until
the problem is fixed.

Freedom scientific are already aware of the issue,

David.

[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 700 
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.

Posting to a single address IE this list is the preferred acceptable 
practice as we do not allow cross posting. That is simply posting to more 
than one
list or address in the same message. You can post the same message to 
multiple list, but not at the same time.

Now to the matter of replying to a posted message:

The proper practice is to simply hit the reply command in your respective 
email client, IE control + R is used quite often in many programs. Replying 
to
all, for example control + shift + R in Windows Live Mail will only serve to 
get your message flagged by the server for having too many recipients.

Then at that point your message gets held for one of us to accept or
