Re: [JAWS-Users] One Drive clarification

[Fernando Gregoire]

Hi Tom,
Windows 7 doesn't include a OneDrive app, so you'll have to download and 
install it. It had been included into the Windows Live Essentials suite, but 
probably now may be available separately.
When installed, the first thing you'll be asked is to sign in, and you will be 
using the JAWS Virtual Cursor. The next screens are normally accessible.
To quickly access OneDrive folder latter, double-click on the OneDrive system 
tray icon; that icon will also you the synchronization status, that is, files 
in your local copy of the folder structure compared to the folder structure 
uploaded of the service. To access more settings than in the initial wizard, 
open the context menu and choose Settings.
Although Office 2013 and 2016 include direct support for OneDrive even without 
the app, for example for co-authoring, you can save files to the OneDrive 
folder structure from any application. The files will save locally in the 
normal way and the app will upload these files to the cloud in the background.

Feel free to ask more if needed!

Hello, everyone.

 

I am sorry for the additional post, but I need to clarify something about my 
previous one drive quiry.

 

I have some tutorial files for Windows 10, but I'm currently still using 
Windows 7 on my main laptop computer.

 

So, if I could get some instructions tailered to Windows 7, that would be most 
helpful.

Re: [JAWS-Users] how to activate the touch cursor

[Fernando Gregoire]

Hi Denis,
The way to enable and disable the Touch Cursor depends on your JAWS keyboard 
layout.
If you're using Desktop keyboard, enable Touch Cursor by pressing SHIFT+NUMPAD 
PLUS, and
Disable it by pressing the JAWS Cursor (NUMPAD MINUS) or the PC Cursor (NUMPAD 
PLUS) twice quickly.
If you're using Laptop keyboard, it is enabled by pressing 
CAPSLOCK+SHIFT+SEMICOLON, and either press CAPSLOCK+SEMICOLON twice (PC Cursor) 
or CAPSLOCK+P (JAWS Cursor) to disable it.

Hope it helps!

[JAWS-Users] Word 2010, sort and JAWS

[Adrian Spratt]

Brian,

Well, I didn't wait. Creating a heading looks almost too easy. Keeping in mind 
your point that for my dictionary-like organization to work, I should use only 
one heading level, I'm going with the obvious, control-alt-number row 1. I 
thought I'd need to select existing lines of text, but it seems I just have to 
position the cursor at the beginning of the line (or anywhere on the line?) for 
it to take effect.

I could also initiate a heading by typing that key combo and proceeding with 
the heading text, but most are already in place.

It will be a fair amount of clerical work, but now I can see my way forward. 

One thought. each of my would-be headings is preceded by a double return. Can 
you think of a search and replace operation that might accomplish what I want? 
Presumably, it would consist of ^6^6 in both fields, with an additional 
character in the replace field. Please don't waste your time if you don't have 
a quick answer.

If you have anything else to add or correct, please let me know.

Again, thank you.

Hello Adrian,

If the subject heading for each entry is a built-in Word heading and all 
headings are of the same level then you can sort by heading in either ascending 
or descending order.  Go under the home tab and use the Sort button in the 
paragraph group to bring up the dialog box.  Use down arrow in the "Sort by" 
edit combo box and choose heading.  Tab a couple times to the radio buttons and 
choose between ascending and descending.  Use OK.  Of course, this approach 
only works if your subject headings are built-in Word headings and are all

Take care.

[JAWS-Users] asking for help for a friend with Jaws 18 and Windows 10

[Miriam Vieni]

My friend is an 86 year old Benedictine Sister. She uses her computer to do
work for the Xavier Society and to volunteer for Bookshare, along with all
of the tasks that are part of her life at the convent. She was using a
Windows 7 computer and system access for about 5 years, but the computer
crashed. She now has Jaws 18 and Windows 10. It was set up for her by the
convent's tech person with some consultation with Freedom Scientific. While
we're waiting to see if the person I know, has time to work with her
remotely on the phone, I have a question to ask for her. I seem to remember
being told that there's a way to set up Windows 10 so that it looks like
what we're accustomed to seeing on Windows 7. Is that called the classic
view? Is that what she should tell the tech person to set up for her? Right
now, she can't get to the internet or to Documents.  She would like to be
able to get to the desktop with icons, like she could before, and to
Documents.

Re: [JAWS-Users] touch cursor help

[Mike B.]

Hi Orlando,

I think the only way you can select items is by pressing the spacebar or 
enter on them, but below are navigation tips for your enjoyment.

Navigating With the Touch Cursor
To move to the next or previous object on the screen, press RIGHT or LEFT
ARROW. You can also use TAB or SHIFT+TAB.

To move by a specific object type, press UP or DOWN ARROW. By default, the
UP and DOWN ARROWS will move by regions, or by groups if you are on the
Windows 8 Start Screen. To change what object type these commands move by,
press PAGE UP or PAGE DOWN to cycle through the available types using the
navigation rotor.

For example, if you want the UP or DOWN ARROW keys to move by headings,
press PAGE UP or PAGE DOWN until you hear "headings. Now, pressing UP or
DOWN ARROW will move to the next or previous heading.

Press CTRL+HOME to move to the first object and press CTRL+END to move to
the last object. To announce the current object, press INSERT+UP ARROW. To
perform a Say All, which will cause the Touch Cursor to move through the
application and speak each object, press INSERT+DOWN ARROW.

As you navigate using the ARROW keys, the system focus does not follow the
Touch Cursor. This allows you to freely navigate through objects without
changing the position of the PC Cursor or mouse pointer. Pressing SPACEBAR
or ENTER on the current object will move focus to that object and perform
the appropriate action. For instance, opening a menu, selecting a check box,
or activating a button or link. In addition, a rectangle will be displayed
around the currently selected object to visually indicate the location of
the Touch cursor for sighted users.

To quickly move the Touch Cursor to the object that currently has focus,
press INSERT+NUM PAD PLUS, or CAPS LOCK+APOSTROPHE if using the laptop
keyboard layout. JAWS will route the Touch Cursor to the currently selected
object and announce it. The Touch Cursor will remain active after performing
this command.

To determine what object types will be announced as you navigate with the
Touch Cursor, press INSERT+V to open Quick Settings, expand the Touch Cursor
Options group, then move to Configure Types. This group lists all available
types that can be navigated to using the Touch Cursor. Use the SPACEBAR to
select or clear a type. Types that are selected are announced while types
that are not selected are ignored.

Note: The Configure Types option only appears in Quick Settings if the Touch
Cursor is currently active when Quick Settings is opened.

Touch Cursor Navigation Quick Keys
While the Touch Cursor is active, you can use Navigation Quick Keys to
quickly jump to various types of objects, such as regions, headings, links,
form controls, and so on. These commands are similar to the Navigation Quick
Keys that are used when navigating HTML and PDF documents with the Virtual
PC Cursor.

By default, Touch Navigation Quick Keys are not enabled when the Touch
Cursor is activated. This allows you to fully use applications that support
typing in the main window. For example, the Windows 8 News app lets you type
so you can quickly locate specific stories.

If you would like Touch Navigation Quick keys to be enabled automatically
when the Touch Cursor is activated in a specific application, press INSERT+V
to open Quick Settings while focused in the application, navigate to the
Touch Cursor Options group, and select Touch Quick Keys. You can also press
INSERT+Z while the Touch Cursor is active to temporarily toggle Touch
Navigation Quick Keys on or off.

The following Navigation Quick Keys are available:

Note: You can add the SHIFT Key to any of these commands to move to the
previous occurrence of that element.

A - Next radio button
B - Next button
C - Next combo box
D - Next document
E - Next edit field
F - Next form field
G - Next image
H - Next heading
I - Next list item
K - Next link
L - Next list
M - Next menu
O - Next tool bar
P - Next pane
Q - Next tab
R - Next region
S - Next occurrence of static text
T - Next table
U - Next group
V - Next tree view
X - Next check box
Z - Next status b

Here's some more from the JAWS help

Touch Cursor SHIFT+NUM PAD PLUS
Next Object RIGHT ARROW or TAB
Prior Object LEFT ARROW or SHIFT+TAB
Next Object by Type DOWN ARROW
Prior Object by Type UP ARROW
Cycle Through Object Navigation Types PAGE UP or PAGE DOWN
First Object CTRL+HOME
Last Object CTRL+END
Say Current Object INSERT+UP ARROW
Say All with Touch Cursor INSERT+DOWN ARROW
Route Touch Cursor to Focused Object INSERT+NUM PAD PLUS
Text Review NUM PAD SLASH or INSERT+ENTER
Advanced Navigation NUM PAD STAR

Actually, I use the keyboard commands for said gestures. I don't have a
touch screen on my Windows 7 computer. It seems to do what the JAWS cursor
used to do. I haven't had a whole lot of luck with the JAWS cursor of late,
and several people have told me that this works. So I decided to give it a
try, and it works quite well.

[JAWS-Users] One Drive

[Tom Behler]

Hello, everyone.

 

I am looking for an easy-to-use program with which I can share files that
are too large to send to people via normal e-mail.

 

I have had some very limited success with Dropbox, but someone has just
suggested that I try One Drive, which I should have access to since I
purchase an annual subscription to the Microsoft Office 365 suite of
products.

 

Does anyone have some Jaws-friendly instructions for locating, and setting
up one-drive, as well as  for easily transferring files to another person
using that program?

 

Thank you!

[JAWS-Users] Changing to Windows 10

Hi all. I've just purchased a new laptop which will be running Windows 10. It's 
a Leda brand (not sure of the selling, but they're a South Australian company). 

I will be running the latest JAWS on it and am wondering if there are any 
introductory tips you guys can give me, since I've currently running Windows 7 
on my old laptop. I have been saving Jim's tutorials, but have not really 
looked at them yet. I really simply need just simple introductory tips - like 
dotted points, so I know where to start, since I have not been able to access 
training here yet. The waiting list seems quite long.

Thanks.

Kind regards

PS the man who sold me the laptop will be installing Office 365 on it.
