I prefer using windows key-tab. After you press that, you can left and right
arrow through all the open windows.  Press enter on the one you want to
select it.  If you want to close something as you're arrowing through, press
the application/menu key and arrow up to close and press enter.
As I remember, this also works in Windows 7, but it's been awhile.  Smile.

Re: [JAWS-Users] task bar

This is what I found for Windows 10.  But as I said, I prefer the
Windows-tab command because alt-tab does not seem to cycle through all
programs.  As usual, Microsoft has given us many ways to do the same thing.
Switch among open programs  Alt+Tab
Use the arrow keys to switch among open programsCtrl+Alt+Tab
Open Task view  Windows+Tab

Re: [JAWS-Users] task bar

[Rebecca Lineberger]

Hm.  I just googled and google said:
Windows 7 keyboard shortcut keys 
General keyboard shortcuts  
Alt+Tab
Switch between open items 
Ctrl+Alt+Tab
Use the arrow keys to switch between open items 
Windows logo key +Tab
Cycle through programs on the taskbar by using Aero Flip 3-D
As I said, it's been several years now since I've used Windows 7, so I
googled again and found:
HOW TO USE FLIP AND FLIP 3D IN WINDOWS 7
When you have many windows open in Windows 7, you can use the Flip and Flip
3-D features to quickly organize your applications. Flip and Flip 3-D, like
Aero Peek, allow you to view what is happening in all of your open windows
and shuffle them so that the one you want is on top.

FLIP
To use the Flip feature, hold down Alt and press Tab. Windows 7 displays a
panel in the middle of the desktop showing thumbnails of each open window.
Each
time you press Tab, a different one of the windows is selected and its name
appears at the top of the panel. When you release the Alt key, the panel
hides
again and the last window selected becomes the open window on your display.
If you want to take your time scrolling through the open windows, hold the
Ctrl key down while you press the Alt and Tab key. The thumbnail panel will
open and stay that way even after you release all the keys. This allows you
to use the right and left arrow keys to find the one you want. When you’ve
highlighted the window you want to work with, press Enter to close the panel
and display the selected window on the desktop.

FLIP 3D

To use the Flip 3D feature, hold down the Windows logo key (the key with
picture of a waving flag divided into four parts) and then press the Tab
key.
All the open windows will cascade across your desktop in 3-D. Flip through
the cascading thumbnails by continuing to press the Tab key. When the
thumbnail
of the window you want appears at the front of the stack, release the
Windows logo key. Your windows will all lay back down with the window you
want on
top.  
As with Flip, holding the Ctrl key down while activating Flip 3D ensures
that the windows remain cascaded across your desktop while you peruse them
with
your right and left arrow keys. When the window you want to access is at the
front of the stack, you can press Enter to close the stack and display its
window on top of the desktop.

The .gz extension is still a zipped file extension.

Take a look here and possibly ou can convert it to a .zip extension and see

Hi folks.



Well, I admit I am a bit stumped, and I have a deadline to meet/lots of
things to do this weekend, so I come to the list to see if anyone here can
offer any solutions.



I sent my landlord a MS word document for her to look over and edit, in
preparation for a mutual signing. She has sent it back to me for printing.
But, not as a Word document. She sent me a zip file within a zip file, 
which
turns out to be something created using the Apple program Pages. After 
some

annoying poking around in this new archive folder, I have determined that
the data I am after is in an xml (apparently) file called index.xml.gz,
which I then had to use Winrar to open. Now I have my stuff, but there's 
no

formatting except for code. What the devil can I do with this thing? Can I
convert it to an easily printable format? I don't think I really need to
edit it anymore. However, it doesn't even seem to open properly in my web
browser (either Firefox or IE, at least).



Any suggestions? Is therea quick, reliable converter out there I can use? 
Or

should I just ask her to please convert back to the original format, as
apparently Pages saves by default in its own format even if it wasn't in
that format to begin with. For all I know, new versions of mS word can 
deal

with these things, but I only have Office 2010 on here.



Any thoughts?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Viewing/printing a document created in Pages on a Windows machine

[JM Casey]

Hi. She resent it already but I'm not sure she even did anything new with
the document. I have to go out now but I will check it tomorrow. In the
meantime, I'll pass this info along to her. Thanks very much. I have no idea
why it's double zipped. It's only three pages long. The .pages file itself
is opening as a zipped folder within file explorer. Then within that the xml
is in a .gz file I have to open with winrar. It's very strange, to me. I
don't use Apple products and their method of dealing with files is alien to
me.

If what she sent is a Pages document, she could export it for you as a Word
file and then send it as such. Why might she have double zipped it, is it
huge? Here are directions for her to give it back in Word.
Microsoft Word will not open a document created in pages. You can however
create a document in Pages then convert it to a Word document. After you
create the document in Pages, go to file - export to - and select Word and
it will change the document so that it can be read and opened with Microsoft
Word.

Any suggestions? Is therea quick, reliable converter out there I can use? Or

Re: [JAWS-Users] Viewing/printing a document created in Pages on a Windows machine

[ely.r]

If what she sent is a Pages document, she could export it for you as a Word
file and then send it as such. Why might she have double zipped it, is it
huge? Here are directions for her to give it back in Word.
Microsoft Word will not open a document created in pages. You can however
create a document in Pages then convert it to a Word document. After you
create the document in Pages, go to file - export to - and select Word and
it will change the document so that it can be read and opened with Microsoft
Word.

Hi folks.

 

Well, I admit I am a bit stumped, and I have a deadline to meet/lots of
things to do this weekend, so I come to the list to see if anyone here can
offer any solutions.

 

I sent my landlord a MS word document for her to look over and edit, in
preparation for a mutual signing. She has sent it back to me for printing.
But, not as a Word document. She sent me a zip file within a zip file, which
turns out to be something created using the Apple program Pages. After some
annoying poking around in this new archive folder, I have determined that
the data I am after is in an xml (apparently) file called index.xml.gz,
which I then had to use Winrar to open. Now I have my stuff, but there's no
formatting except for code. What the devil can I do with this thing? Can I
convert it to an easily printable format? I don't think I really need to
edit it anymore. However, it doesn't even seem to open properly in my web

Re: [JAWS-Users] task bar

[Rebecca Lineberger]

I prefer using windows key-tab. After you press that, you can left and right
arrow through all the open windows.  Press enter on the one you want to
select it.  If you want to close something as you're arrowing through, press
the application/menu key and arrow up to close and press enter.
As I remember, this also works in Windows 7, but it's been awhile.  Smile.

My computer, whose ordeals I had described in an earlier message, seems to
have essentially solved its problems, with only a few small ones remaining.
I tried the new skype which had been installed in it, and, although I do not
like it very much, I feel I should proceed getting used to it. My question
is the following Since the conversation window rather than the contacts,
appears to be taking prime place, is there a way, using jaws, for me to
determine who among my contacts is online, and is there a way as in the
past, to show just online contacts and also jaws reporting someone going
online I have installed the special scripts but in the guide no such info is
reported.
Thanks for any help,

Re: [JAWS-Users] desktop 1

[chris judge]

The reason why you're hearing, desktop one, instead of just desktop, is
because windows 10 has the ability to create secondary desktops, called
virtual desktops. For fun, press control windows |D, then press insert T,
you will hear, desktop 2. You can move between desktops with control windows
right arrow and control windows left arrow. I haven't yet found a use for
this, but I suppose if you were using the same computer for home and work,
and you wanted to keep your opened programs separate, it might come in
handy.
You can close the virtual desktops with control Windows F4.

Based on what I have figured out, the black on black announcement from JAWS
is not accurate.  Visually it is black on white.  I have not played with
actual font colors and backgrounds to see how JAWS reports seeing the
colors, but I have found that using the "highlighter" JAWS accurately
reports the highlight color and the text as being black.  I wasted a lot of
time trying to figure this out and got nowhere.  I finally snagged a
co-worker who was walking by my office and borrowed their eyes.  They

Re: [JAWS-Users] Say All pausing between lines

[Fernando Gregoire]

I'm not exactly getting Say All paused when I set it to Lines Without Pauses, 
but I'm having a similar issue since JAWS 18.
In both Castilian and Latin American Spanish, Eloquence default thousand 
separator is the period instead of the comma. Even when Eloquence read whole 
numbers with thousands groups correctly, when I use Say All the period is 
handled like a sentence ending period, that is, when using Say All Eloquence 
speak the whole number before the period, makes a short pause like after a 
sentence and then speak the rest as it if were another number.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Say All pausing between lines

Hi all. I'm using the latest builds of both Jaws 2018 and Windows 10. 
Seemingly inexplicably, Say All has begun pausing between lines, even though I 
have tried it both reading by sentence and by line without pauses. It's almost 
as though whichever setting I choose, Say All reads with pauses.
To attempt to remedy this, I performed a repair, then tried Say All using the 
alternate user directory; it read without pauses as I desire. I then deleted 
all my settings files except for my pronunciation dictionary and voice 
profiles, to allow Jaws to repopulate my settings directory. AftEr this, Say 
All again read without pauses as I desire. However, after I went through the 
entire settings tree, resetting everything to my preferences, the Say All 
reading with pauses regardless of setting returned.
This forces me to ask if there is some hidden or obscure relationship between 
how Say All pauses and another setting that appears to have nothing to do with 
it. I'm inclined toward this reasoning because when I switch to the alternate 
user directory or delete my settings files, Say All behaves properly. Only 
after I configure my settings does the problem return. The question is: why?
I realize that as a temporary fix, I could yet again delete my settings and 
this time not change any of the defaults. But then, punctuation, speech 
verbosity and so many other settings would not be configured to my taste. As 
another possibility, I will test tomorrow whether this behavior is also 
happening on my laptop. If it is not, I'll try copying my settings directory 
from my laptop to the problematic desktop.
What do you all think? Has anyone ever experienced this strange Say All 
behavior of reading with line pauses regardless of setting?

Many thanks,


Orlando Enrique Fiol

[JAWS-Users] Auslogics Boost Speed & Jaws

[Mike B.]

Howdy All,

Several years ago I was using a program called Auslogics Boost Speed, 
version 5.  After version 5 it kept getting less & less accessible, but at 
the time it was a great program taking care of several tasks at once like, 
disk cleanup, disk defrag, removing temp files...

Well, now the program is up to version 10, & I was wondering if anyone is 
using this latest version with Jaws.  I would like to know it's level of 
accessibility.  i.e; Is there a lot of Jaws cursoring necessary...
Will Jaws read the status of checkboxes?...

All input will be greatly appreciated.  This was once an excellent program 
until they found it necessary to add all that eye candy to the program!  LOL 
Thanks much.
Take care.  Mike.  Go Dodgers!
