What's New in JAWS 18 - Part One NOTE: For those of you participating in the live Webinar, the following link will open the documentation in a new browser window. New Features Added in JAWS 18 The following features are new to JAWS 18. For more information and complete demonstrations, go to the FSCast web page and listen to episodes 131 and 132. Migrate Settings from Prior Versions of JAWS We have reintroduced the ability for users to merge all user customized settings from the prior version of JAWS into the latest version. This includes any application and default settings, scripts, dictionary entries, graphics labels, PlaceMarkers, flexible web rules, personalized web settings including custom labels, speech and sounds schemes, and voice profiles. When JAWS 18 first starts after an install and it detects that there are custom user settings for JAWS 17 available, you will be asked if you want to migrate these settings to the current version of JAWS. Choose Yes to migrate your settings from JAWS 17, or choose No to start with the default settings in JAWS 18 and launch the Startup Wizard. Once the settings have been migrated, a dialog box opens where you can configure the JAWS startup options. This dialog box contains the same options found in the Start JAWS Options dialog box, which is accessed from the JAWS window by opening the Options menu, Selecting Options, and then choosing the Automatically Start JAWS button. Once you have confirmed how you want JAWS to start, choose OK to save and close the dialog box. NOTE: Due to significant changes to the settings file structure prior to JAWS 17, custom user settings can not be migrated from versions of JAWS older than version 17. The Migrate Settings Dialog box in JAWS 18 The Migrate Settings Dialog box in JAWS 18 Completely New Import and Export for JAWS Customized User Settings JAWS 18 now enables you to quickly and conveniently export all of your JAWS user settings including application and default settings, custom scripts, dictionary entries, graphics labels, PlaceMarkers, flexible web rules, personalized web settings including custom labels, speech and sounds schemes, and voice profiles to a single backup file which can be stored or shared with other JAWS users. The JAWS settings backup files are saved with an SBAK extension. This backup file can then be easily imported on any computer running JAWS 18 or later and these settings will be used by that copy of JAWS. To export settings to an SBAK file, open the Utilities menu located in the JAWS application window, open the Import/Export menu, and select Export Settings. The Export Settings wizard opens and guides you through exporting your settings. During this process, you can choose to export all user settings, or select specific settings to export.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Updated JAWS 18
Keep in mind, too, that at least in Outlook 2010, the contacts order changes depending on how often or recently you've contacted this or that person. One thought, in case it hasn't already been mentioned. If you think you know the place of your addressee in the contacts list, press enter when you get to it. Then tab into the next field and shift-tab back to the "To" or "cc" line. I believe your educated guess will be confirmed or rejected. I love the humor in your message, Reed. Time was when America had all the advantages over Canada when it came to visually impaired people. I know because I spent some time at McGill. Canada has come a long way since then. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Reed Sent: Wednesday, September 27, 2017 6:18 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Updated JAWS 18 Since I last wrote, I shut down my computer, went outside and washed my very muddy tandem bike, came back and booted up, went into Outlook and tried to send a new e-mail.

What's New in JAWS 18 - Part One NOTE: For those of you participating in the live Webinar, the following link will open the documentation in a new browser window. New Features Added in JAWS 18 The following features are new to JAWS 18. For more information and complete demonstrations, go to the FSCast web page and listen to episodes 131 and 132. Migrate Settings from Prior Versions of JAWS We have reintroduced the ability for users to merge all user customized settings from the prior version of JAWS into the latest version. This includes any application and default settings, scripts, dictionary entries, graphics labels, PlaceMarkers, flexible web rules, personalized web settings including custom labels, speech and sounds schemes, and voice profiles. When JAWS 18 first starts after an install and it detects that there are custom user settings for JAWS 17 available, you will be asked if you want to migrate these settings to the current version of JAWS. Choose Yes to migrate your settings from JAWS 17, or choose No to start with the default settings in JAWS 18 and launch the Startup Wizard. Once the settings have been migrated, a dialog box opens where you can configure the JAWS startup options. This dialog box contains the same options found in the Start JAWS Options dialog box, which is accessed from the JAWS window by opening the Options menu, Selecting Options, and then choosing the Automatically Start JAWS button. Once you have confirmed how you want JAWS to start, choose OK to save and close the dialog box. NOTE: Due to significant changes to the settings file structure prior to JAWS 17, custom user settings can not be migrated from versions of JAWS older than version 17. The Migrate Settings Dialog box in JAWS 18 The Migrate Settings Dialog box in JAWS 18 Completely New Import and Export for JAWS Customized User Settings JAWS 18 now enables you to quickly and conveniently export all of your JAWS user settings including application and default settings, custom scripts, dictionary entries, graphics labels, PlaceMarkers, flexible web rules, personalized web settings including custom labels, speech and sounds schemes, and voice profiles to a single backup file which can be stored or shared with other JAWS users. The JAWS settings backup files are saved with an SBAK extension. This backup file can then be easily imported on any computer running JAWS 18 or later and these settings will be used by that copy of JAWS.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Dos Box environment?
Hey Fernando. Thanks for writing back. I did some research after writing that message, and, indeed, there is just no way to run Dos Box and use a Windows screen-reader. Apparently even the DOS ones have problems as the Dos Box environment is really not designed for such programmes as screen-readers. The real issue is using the qbasic programme that these games need -- I have tried all compatibility settings and it just will not run under any circumstance; as you say it is a 16-bit application. Even setting to Windows 95 compatibility does not work. I did find a 64-bit QB programme, but it's third-party and I don't know what results will be; plus the games have their own way of calling the basic interpreter which I would not be able to subvert easily, I think. Maybe it's worthwhile enough for me to learn how to create a virtual machine. That said .. anyone got some really old copy of JAWS lying around?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Dos Box environment?
In 64-bit Windows versions you can only use console applications compiled in 32 or 64-bit, but not 16-bit or MS-DOS ones. For actual MS-DOS apps you need emulators like Dosbox or Aeon, but since at least I never got those emulators to present a text output instead of a graphical one, I try to use a machine with a 32-bit Windows when I need something in 16-bit.

Re: [JAWS-Users] edge help.
Hi, Control+I, or press Alt+X, then go to Favorites. An important note for everyone (well, two, really): * Edge doesn't have a concept of traditional menu bar as in IE and Firefox. The user interface is like that of Chrome. * There are several tutorials about Edge, including one produced by David Moore and many others. Good luck (for members of a certain Windows 10 related list, expect a post from me today).

Sent: Tuesday, September 26, 2017 4:23 PM To: Jaws-Users List Subject: [JAWS-Users] J18.0.4321 Today's Update Download Links + What's New Hi All, Below are the direct download links for todays J18.0.4321 update, & what's new in this build. 32 Bit: http://jaws18.vfo.digital/4321AMNRC2/J18.0.4321enu-x86.exe 64 Bit: http://jaws18.vfo.digital/4321AMNRC2/J18.0.4321enu-x64.exe What's new: Enhancements in JAWS 18.0.4321 (September 2017) The following is a list of improvements made between the JAWS 18 July 2017 release and the September 2017 update. Microsoft Edge Support (must be enabled in Settings Center) This update introduces support for Edge, the latest web browser from Microsoft included in Windows 10. To use JAWS with Edge, you must be running the Windows 10 Creators update (version 1703) or later. While there are still several JAWS features that are not available in Edge such as selecting and copying using the Virtual Cursor, PlaceMarkers, Smart Navigation, Flexible Web, and domain-specific settings, we have made the overall experience of navigating pages in Edge using both speech and braille as similar as possible to working in Internet Explorer, Chrome, or Firefox. As we continue to work with Microsoft to improve the Edge experience, future JAWS updates will include greater functionality. Edge support is also available in the new JAWS 2018. Edge support is turned off by default in JAWS 18. This is because support for Microsoft Edge depends on some emerging technologies, which we continue to fine-tune in close collaboration with Microsoft. You can turn on Edge support through Settings Center by doing the following: list of 6 items 1. Press INSERT+F2, and select Settings Center. 2. Press CTRL+SHIFT+D to load the JAWS default settings. 3. In the Search edit box, type "edge browser" without the quotes. 4. Press DOWN ARROW to move to "Microsoft Edge Browser Support" in the filtered search results in the tree view. 5. Press SPACEBAR to toggle this option. 6. Press ENTER to save your change and close Settings Center, and then quit and restart JAWS. list end Once JAWS is restarted, you will be able to use JAWS to access web pages in Edge. If you encounter any unusual issues after enabling Edge support, you can go back into Settings Center as described above and disable it. If you do this, please let our Tech Support team know so the issue can be investigated. The Virtual Cursor is used to read pages in Edge just like in other browsers. You can use the standard reading commands as well as most of the Navigation Quick Keys to navigate through pages. Currently, there are a few Navigation Quick Keys that are not yet supported in Edge, however the most used commands; moving by headings, paragraphs, forms, tables, lists, graphics, and regions, are available. More Navigation Quick Keys will be supported in future updates. By default, JAWS uses Semi-auto Forms Mode in Edge, which turns on Forms Mode automatically only when you move to a form control using TAB or SHIFT+TAB. Due to the way Edge displays pages, Auto Forms Mode is not available as it is possible to have multiple controls on a single line. You will need to press ENTER to turn on Forms Mode if you use the ARROW keys to move to form fields. Other familiar JAWS features that are currently supported include: list of 4 items . Displaying a list of links, headings, or form controls by pressing INSERT+F7, INSERT+F6, or INSERT+F5. . Searching for text on the current page by pressing CTRL+F. . Obtaining font information by pressing INSERT+F. . The ability for JAWS to detect changes in the language used on a web page and automatically switch to the appropriate voice if available. list end As you begin using Edge, one important item to note is that Edge is a modern app with no menu bar that can be accessed using the ALT key. To access Edge specific features, press TAB from the bottom of a page or SHIFT+TAB from the top. Continue using TAB or SHIFT+TAB to move through the various controls until you cycle back around to the content area. Alternatively, Edge offers many of the same shortcut keys found in other browsers such as CTRL+T to open a new tab, CTRL+H for History, CTRL+I for Favorites, CTRL+J for Downloads, and so on.
