Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS keystroke needed

[cheez]

Vicki.  You said you wanted to turn the caps lock off when you need to use 
the shift key.
I may be misunderstanding you here, but, the caps lock and the shift key are 
2 different keys.  Therefore, other than using the caps lock in the laptop 
layout, you wouldn't use the caps lock to capitalize one letter.  but you 
know that.
Unless you have a strange keyboard like I have that has only one windows 
key.

I was just looking for the key itself, which is the caps lock and how to 
turn it off when I need to use the shift key.


For some reason, tapping it twice quickly has no effect. If I change the 
JAWS key to another key, my caps lock key works fine, so I know it's not 
an issue with the physical key on the keyboard.


I'm just wondering if there is something else I need to adjust to get it

the keystroke to bring up the jaws cursor is: capslock+p,

Re: [JAWS-Users] Sorting a 2010 Excel worksheet

[amcarr1]

Greg,

I modified the original instructions.  See if this helps.  

Instructions

You need to select all of your data, including the column headings.

Use your applications key to bring up the context menu.

Select sort.

>From the Sort menu, select custom.

You are now in a dialog box which JAWS does not read well.  Use the tab key
to move around in it.  The most important things you need to find are as
follows:

--The checkbox that indicates whether or not the top row is a headings row
for the columns of data, or if it is actual data.  If you have column
headings, make sure it is checked.

--Tab until you get to a combo box, or maybe it is a list box, for which
column you want to use for sorting.  JAWS can be very uncooperative with
reading the contents.

--There are 2 more combo/list boxes that allow you to set information about
sorting on this column I.E. A-Z, Z-A, ascending, descending, etc.  Depending
on what you want your sort to look like, you may not need to deal with this.
Again, JAWS is not always cooperative with reading this information.


Now you have to add a level to your sort.  Use the Tab key and go past the
Cancel button until you come to Add a level.  Use space to select.

Now when you continue tabbing through the dialog box you will come to a
combo box that is labeled "Then by".  This will have all of your column
headers listed.  Just like before there will be 2 other combo boxes that
allow you to change other details about sorting on this column of data.  

Figuring out which column header goes in the first level and which one goes
in the second level usually takes some playing around.  The way things are
worded makes me think the sort will work differently than it comes out.  I
usually run each sort separately just to avoid frustration.  Someday I will
take the time to play around with it.  

HTH,
Annette

Nope. 2007 is exactly the same. You still need to tab around a lot and if 
you invoke a second sort column using the Add sort button, you need to use 
the JAWS cursor to find that combo box to get things moving on that column.

Re: [JAWS-Users] banners popping up on windows 10

I should have mentioned this in my reply to David a few moments ago.

Since I setup her system originally there is a demo copy of JAWS 17 on it 
just for such emergencies. So ultimately I was able to tandem in but she had 
to get her husband to find the JAWS icon in the system tray.


I went all over the privacy and notification section, with luck that bought 
me some time off.


One point I asked her to reboot the system and her answer surprise was how

Odds are, she's possibly said yes to something, or clicked on something she

[JAWS-Users] My wayward Books Folder

[Miriam Vieni]

Remember that Books folder that I constructed and it then disappeared and I
reconstructed it? I followed someone's directions and backspaced or
something and it sat comfortably in Documents until I used it yesterday. I
transferred The New Yorker magazine into it, and today, when I looked in
Documents. The folder was gone. I'd transferred the magazine to my VR Stream
so the folder was empty. It seems that each time I put it back in documents,
it stays until I use it. After I use it, it disappears. Can anyone make a
suggestion? 64 bit, Win7 IE 11, Jaws 18, Office 365.

I guess the good news is that, if it's MSN, it's not the type of ad-ware
that will be stubborn about not letting itself be removed.

I wasn't even aware that MSN was still a thing.

The utilities from Sysinternals can be really good for dealing with unwanted
processes. In addition to Process Explorer, a faster and more robust
alternative to Task manager (faster with JAWS, at the very least), there's
Autoruns, which lets you examine every kind of startup item and remove it if
necessary.

to see what processes are running to see if it can be shut off.

Odds are, she's possibly said yes to something, or clicked on something she
wasn't supposed to, and now she's got banners popping out of the woodwork.

Hi jerry.

Off-hand, I don't know what steps to take exactly, but I would definitely
not write this off as a useless proposition. You can get old drivers for
almost anything, and provided the thing did work with Windows 10 at some
point, it should still work now. It would be extremely crappy of Microsoft

My wife has a Toshiba lapptop, and uses no screen reader software. With
Windows 10, how would I go about trying to find out if the internal CD rom
has the current drivers, and what are the steps for getting them and

Re: [JAWS-Users] Sorting a 2010 Excel worksheet

[Dave...Oregonian]

Greg,

Nope. 2007 is exactly the same. You still need to tab around a lot and if 
you invoke a second sort column using the Add sort button, you need to use 
the JAWS cursor to find that combo box to get things moving on that column.

for the columns of data, or if it is actual data.  If you have column
headings, make sure it is checked.



--Tab until you get to a combo box, or maybe it is a list box, for which
column you want to use for sorting.  JAWS can be very uncooperative with
reading the contents.



--There are 2 more combo/list boxes that allow you to set information about
sorting on this column I.E. A-Z, Z-A, ascending, descending, etc.  Depending
on what you want your sort to look like, you may not need to deal with this.

Again, JAWS is not always cooperative with reading this information.



--There should be another set of 3 combo/list boxes that will allow you to
select the second column you want to use for your sort, as well as its
criteria.



I can never remember which column will need to be in the first set of boxes,
verses which one goes in the second set.  You will have to play around with
it.

Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS is not speaking control descriptions

[Mike B.]

Hi Fernando,

In Jaws quick settings, Options / Basics try these 2 settings if you haven't 
already.  I know I asked this earlier, but I don't know which settings you 
tried.  Using the settings below produced extra Jaws verbiage, but I just 
don't recall exactly what the control description is supposed to say.

Tutor Messages Announce Menu and Control Help radio button checked
2 of 3

Hi Mike,

Thank you for replying.
Yes, I checked both Quick Settings and the Settings Center for the active 
verbosity level. In the active level, which is Beginner, I have checked the 
Control Descriptions item, and changing between long or short messages 
produce the same result on this problem.
Regarding Speech and Sounds Manager, I only changed the Classic scheme to 
make different heading levels to play piano sounds. Even so, I tried 
reverting to the original Classic scheme but, as I supposed, the problem is 
not fixed.
I also tried running JAWS in English to see if perhaps this is a specific 
issue in the Spanish version (it wouldn't be the first time I must edit a 
translated message missing a %1 or documentation which states things in an 
order different to the actual one, for example), but this issue is also 
present in English.
I think this should be somewhat related to the FocusChangedEvent, but my 
knowledge of event functions and scripting language in general is poor. As a 
workaround I tried to add the SayControlDescription function in the 
FocusChangedEvent, but it didn't worked at all.

Do you have some other ideas I can try?

Thanks in advance!

Hi all,



Since many versions ago, JAWS is not reading the control descriptions even 
when I have this item checked in the current verbosity level settings. If I 
want to get this data, I manually have to locate the Touch Cursor with 
Advanced Object Navigation on the desired control, press ALT+ENTER and find 
the value of the HelpText property, which obviously is slow and often 
useless.

Does someone know how I could fix this to match the behavior of some old 
versions like JAWS 9, in which this verbosity setting was always honored? I 
am using Windows 10 Fall Creators Update and JAWS 2018. It would be useful 
to quickly know the information about commands in Office programs like Excel 
that are complex and I don't use on a daily basis.



Thanks in advance,

Fernando Gregoire

Re: [JAWS-Users] banners popping up on windows 10

[JM Casey]

I guess the good news is that, if it's MSN, it's not the type of ad-ware
that will be stubborn about not letting itself be removed.

I wasn't even aware that MSN was still a thing. 

The utilities from Sysinternals can be really good for dealing with unwanted
processes. In addition to Process Explorer, a faster and more robust
alternative to Task manager (faster with JAWS, at the very least), there's
Autoruns, which lets you examine every kind of startup item and remove it if
necessary.

Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS keystroke needed

[Vicki W.]

I was just looking for the key itself, which is the caps lock and how to 
turn it off when I need to use the shift key.


For some reason, tapping it twice quickly has no effect. If I change the 
JAWS key to another key, my caps lock key works fine, so I know it's not an 
issue with the physical key on the keyboard.


I'm just wondering if there is something else I need to adjust to get it to 
function correctly when tapping twice to use as a caps lock key.

not sure what your looking for hear;
the capslock key is the insert key if you are using the laptop layout,
the keystroke to bring up the jaws cursor is: capslock+p,
to bring up the pc cursor, capslock+semi colon.

Re: [JAWS-Users] banners popping up on windows 10

[Scorpio]

David, I would probably start by checking what's set to start when Windows 
boots up, start with the processes first, but above all, check the manager 
to see what processes are running to see if it can be shut off.


Odds are, she's possibly said yes to something, or clicked on something she 
wasn't supposed to, and now she's got banners popping out of the woodwork.

[JAWS-Users] Sorting a 2010 Excel worksheet

[Greg Washington]

I need to sort a Excel 2010 worksheet by two columns.  I am using latest
Jaws 2018 on a Windows 10 computer.  I found the following instructions on
line but as they say Jaws doesn't work well with them.  Does anyone have any
suggestsions on how to improve Jaws functionality in sorting Excel
worksheets?  Any help would be appreciated.

 

Instructions

You need to select all of your data, including the column headings.

Use your applications key to bring up the context menu.

Select sort.

>From the Sort menu, select custom.

 

You are now in a dialog box which JAWS does not read well.  Use the tab key
to move around in it.  The most important things you need to find are as

follows:

 

--The checkbox that indicates whether or not the top row is a headings row
for the columns of data, or if it is actual data.  If you have column
headings, make sure it is checked.

 

--Tab until you get to a combo box, or maybe it is a list box, for which
column you want to use for sorting.  JAWS can be very uncooperative with
reading the contents.

 

--There are 2 more combo/list boxes that allow you to set information about
sorting on this column I.E. A-Z, Z-A, ascending, descending, etc.  Depending
on what you want your sort to look like, you may not need to deal with this.

Again, JAWS is not always cooperative with reading this information.

 

--There should be another set of 3 combo/list boxes that will allow you to
select the second column you want to use for your sort, as well as its
criteria.

 

I can never remember which column will need to be in the first set of boxes,
verses which one goes in the second set.  You will have to play around with
it.

[JAWS-Users] Toshiba Drivers Inquiry

[jyandt.martin]

Morning everyone.
My wife has a Toshiba lapptop, and uses no screen reader software. With Windows 
10, how would I go about trying to find out if the internal CD rom has the 
current drivers, and what are the steps for getting them and 
downloading/installing them? We found out that the latest updates for Windows 
10 does not support the cd rom, so this may be, more than likely, a useless 
proposition. Thanks in advance.
