Re: [JAWS-Users] quick audacity question
Hi, These hosts are different underlying structures for managing audio. MME is a legacy one that you should only use in case of problems with DirectSound in your particular combination of Windows version and audio driver.

As a workaround, you could work with the sells in Excel, press F2 on the one you want to edit and CTRL+END to go to the end as in any text box. When you finish editing your sells, you can copy and paste the sheet as a table in the Word document.

Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS and Skype audio ducking?
Hi, This is because by default Windows reduces volume an half of the full value when detects communication, such as via Skype. To fix this press INSERT+F11 to open the Select a System Tray Icon dialog and press ENTER on the speaker or headphones icon. In the context menu, choose Playback Devices. In the Sound Dialog, go to the Communications page and, in the group of radio buttons, select Do Nothing, then press ENTER to OK.

[JAWS-Users] Unable to access list of available networks since upgrading to Windows 10 Creators Update (repost from October)
Hello all. I posted this to the list about a month ago but still have not received a response. Hello all. I ran into an issue with JAWS that rendered me unable to log on to my hotel's Wi-Fi network at our state's NFB Convention. I am running Windows 10 Creators Update with the latest version of Jaws 18. I can't seem to be able to access the list of available networks in the system tray with my laptop. In Control Panel in the Network and Settings Center, I can arrow to a link for list of Available Networks, but when I press enter or spacebar to activate it, Jaws just says unavailable. I have tried this in Narrator and was eventually able to connect to my hotel's logon screen after closing JAWS and entering Control Panel with Narrator Exclusively. However, when I accessed the logon screen, closed narrator and ran JAWS 18, I discovered that the virtual cursor wouldn't activate and I couldn't log on to the WIFI network. I've only noticed this issue since the Creators Update. I also just installed Windows 2018 and the issue still exists. I called Freedom Scientific Technical Support and was just advised to upgrade to 2018. The Microsoft Disability Answer Desk was no help. Is this a bug that could be replicated and reported to VFO? Thanks. Chris For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
[JAWS-Users] Google Chrome and links
The other day, someone posted that they couldn't get links to work in Chrome, citing just one website. I hadn't had that experience until this morning. The solution was to refresh JAWS with JAWS key+escape. In other words, the link did work, but JAWS hadn't displayed the new page.

[JAWS-Users] JAWS2018 Not Playing Nice with Office Spell Check
Hello All, I am using Windows10 Professional, OfficePro2016 and JAWS2018 Professional. I am having significant trouble with getting JAWS to read the various components of the spell check dialog in both Outlook and Word. Sometimes it reads nothings, sometimes it reads as I am tabbing through the dialog box and other times it does not. It rarely reads items in the same order when it does talk while tabbing. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to improve or better yet, correct this problem?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Web site message
Another tip. If your PDF documents are being read by Acrobat Reader PC or Adobe Reader, you should uncheck the box in the Accessibility Set Up Assistant labeled, "Open PDF documents in the web browser", which may be checked by default. To do this, launch Acrobat Reader, go to the Edit menu and scroll all the way down to the Accessibility submenu. Select Set up Assistant, and on the fifth and final page of the Assistant, tab to this check box and uncheck it. Opening PDF documents in the browser can sometimes cause problems with JAWS or the browser itself.
