Re: [JAWS-Users] Ipod
JAWS 9 10 work pretty well with I-Tunes 8.1x. I-Tunes 8.2 does not work well with JAWS. J-Tunes is a set of scripts that improve how JAWS works with I-Tunes 8.1. There is not a version of J-Tunes that works with I-Tunes 8.2. I have a 16 gig Nano 4th Generation, and I'm very happy with it.

Re: [JAWS-Users] ipod nano?
There is a book you should consider purchasing from National Braille Press at: http://www.nbp.org/ic/nbp/ACCIPOD.html The cost is $15. Here is some info from the website: Getting started with iTunes Putting the music, playlists, audiobooks and podcasts you want on your computer and into your iPod Getting your iPod to speak Using all accessible features of your iPod A troubleshooting section, a list of helpful resources, and information on how your iPod organizes music are also included; see the table of contents below for more information. Whether you've never owned an iPod before or you'd like to be able to do more with the one you have, this book will help. The included iPods are the fourth generation Nano and the second and third generation Shuffles. There is also a user's group called Portable Players, that I think you will find helpful with answering all of your questions about I-Tunes and I-Pods.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Problems with new Asus EEE, I.E. 8.0 and JAWS. Help!
What operating system are you using, Xp, Vista, etc? JAWS 7 is not the newest version of JAWS, Version 10 is. You do need to know if the JAWS version you have is standard or professional. Given how old JAWS 7 is, I doubt it will work with I.E. 8. I know it will not work with Vista, and I'm guessing that it will not work with Windows 7.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Another word question
Hi Vicky, I'm not sure what you have tried at this point, so please excuse me if any of my below suggestions have already been given. Use Insert+F to learn what is going on under the cursor. I think if you select a portion of text and then you execute this command you will get different info, but I'm not 100% about this. Use Insert+F1 You will get different info if you have any text selected or nothing selected. Under Tools menu, Options, View tab you can turn on different editing codes so that you can see them in your document. Let me warn you that this can be a lot of chatter from JAWS as you are moving through the document. Does any of this begin to address what you are trying to do?

Re: [JAWS-Users] editing problems in word 2003
When JAWS will not read I frequently have problems with JAWS not speaking portions of a word or line, entire lines, and multiple lines when in MS-Word and composing an e-mail in Outlook. I think it is a video conflict with JAWS and the computer. Here is what I do when I encounter these problems. I start with the first item on the below list, and if that does not fix the problem I move on down the list. I have a theory that the mouse is some how interfering with the info JAWS is trying to retrieve to read. So I repeatedly move the mouse in a upward or downward direction to move it off of the area where I am trying to work. Of course I haven't an idea where the mouse is moving to, but my goal is to move it to the top or bottom of the screen. My thought is that there is less chance that it will interfere with what I am doing. Use Insert+ESC to refresh the screen. Select the word, phrase, line, paragraph that you are having trouble reading Then use Insert+ESC to try refreshing the screen. Use Alt+Tab to move away from the program and then move back to the program. Insert+F4 to unload JAWS, and then Control+Alt+J to reload it. Before doing this, make sure the version of JAWS that you are using has the Control+Alt+J short cut set up. Close the document that you are working on and then re-open it. Exit out of the program and then reload it. If all of these tricks fail, give up on it for now and come back later, after a system reboot. Font size can also effect how JAWS reads. I have found that Arial 12 works well. Also check your view. I prefer to use Print Layout in MS-Word in either Full-page or Page width view. This is not the recommended view from FS. I do this because at work we deal with a lot of text formatting and my co-workers find Normal layout to be a problem.

Re: [JAWS-Users] jaws and a lap top with external num pad
If you are saying that the current external num pad stopped working, sometimes devices break. If you are saying that your friend just tried a external num pad and it does not work, this is a different issue. I have found that when looking for an external num pad to work with a laptop using JAWS, you just have to do trial and error until you find one that works with your system configuration. However, I have had continued success with using the rubber Flexi full-sized 101 keyboards and my laptops. They are light weight and easy to carry with you. The down side is that you need a flat surface to work from. I've been known to carry with me a piece of poster board the size of the keyboard.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Using Jaws with K1000?
Yes, you can as others have already stated. However, you need to be aware that when you use JAWS instead of the K1000 voice, there will be some things that JAWS cannot read. One example is the dialog box for Save As. But if you do use the K1000 voice and then you Alt+Tab away from K1000, you have no voice until you release the Alt+Tab. For the above 2 reasons, I really hate using K1000.

[JAWS-Users] Outlook Express Adding Addresses
I am not an Outlook Express user, but a friend of mine is. I looked on the tips and tricks page for the answers to her question, but did not see what she needed, so I am turning to the OE experts on the list. My friend would like to know how to do 2 things in OE. 1. How to add a new address in the address book when you have a message from someone. 2. How to manually add an address to the address book. My friend is a beginner user of JAWS and all things computers. Thanks in advance.

[JAWS-Users] Help with dragging and dropping
Ok, I usually find reading the JAWS help can reasonably get me through using a new command with out much trouble. This morning, that is not the case. When in iTunes I want to see able to drag and drop play lists either into a folder with in the play list section of my source list, or better yet, be able to drag and drop play lists into my iPod when it is connected. I attempted to use the Control+Insert+numpad / command, move the cursor and repeat the command to drop. No clue what happened as next thing I knew every time I pressed a key JAWS announced Window and then the name of the key I pressed. Some how I got out of that mess, but I'm still confused on how to use drag and drop. I am using Windows XP, JAWS 10 at the moment, but can easily go back to 9, and I have a laptop set to the JAWS desktop keyboard setting. I know that I will have to use the function key to access the numpad. Do I need the numLock turned on? Do I have to do something special to move the PC cursor to ensure that I am dropping in the correct place? Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me understand dragging and dropping with JAWS.

[JAWS-Users] iTunes JAWS - Was: Help with dragging and dropping
I want to be able to move specific play lists from iTunes to my iPod, and to be able to move play lists in iTunes to a folder created in iTunes under the Play list section of the source list. This can all be accomplished via the mouse by my sighted husband and daughter. I have tried keyboard commands for cutting, copying and pasting, as well as using the JAWS command for dragging and dropping, none are working. I want to manually sync my iPod, not have it done automatically, as I only want specific play lists on my iPod. It is my understanding that I can copy the individual items from iTunes to my iPod, but then that does not allow you to use play lists to keep everything organized.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Using copy and paste with iTunes (was Help withdragging and dropping)
Hi Sherrie, Thank you so much. It seems to make perfect sense while reading it. I'll give it a try later and see how it goes. It never occurred to me to make a folder on the iPod from with in iTunes. Thanks again, Annette -Original Message- From: jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Sherrie Sent: Sunday, March 15, 2009 5:07 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Using copy and paste with iTunes (was Help withdragging and dropping) Hi,Dragging and dropping with Jaws is not a viable option in iTunes (or most likely anyplace else according to my experience.) It is possible to use copy and paste with iTunes and when moving items onto the iPod. In the file menu there are commands to add a file or a folder. The folder adding one does not work for me after the first time since after the first time it only lets me navigate to that one folder I use I went back to some of my former posts on blindpod and copied them here so you can get an idea of what is going on. If you have other questions just write to me. At one time I thought I had written out the exact directions but I can't seem to find them. I hope the following will help. It works for me when putting items onto my husband's two iPods. Here are Anna's directions with that one addition: block quote Here's how to put a playlist in the iPod: 1. Create a playlist on the iPod. 2. Find the playlist in your iTunes library that you want to add to your iPod. 3. Focus on the Item list, select all the tracks, and copy them to the clipboard. Alt a and Alt c should work if you are in the list area of the playlist. 4. In the Source list of iTunes , focus on the name of the empty playlist you created on your iPod. Be sure that this playlist is showing up under the name of your iPod on the source list. block quote end Sherrie's addition Then tab twice until you are in the empty track list area of this playlist on the iPod. block quote 5. Type Control-V to paste the tracks into it. Good luck, This works for me when focusing on the name of a playlist and trying to paste does not work at all. I did discover by accident that I could put mp3 files straight onto the Ipod without putting them in Itunes first. The files I did this with were mp3 files for an audio book. I had copied them to the clipboard and was going to create a playlist in the Itunes source list to paste them in but instead created the playlist on the Ipod which was connected. It is a classic 80 gig if that makes any difference. After creating the playlist on the iPod I then tabbed twice to the empty track list and then did the control v for paste.. It worked. In fact, I have been having pretty good luck pasting into the empty track list section and no luck at all trying to paste into the name in the source list for some reason. Anyway, after pasting the audio book I did a select all and changed the info to audio book format in the Get Info. It plays fine on the Ipod and it is not in my Itunes library. This is a good thing for me to know since the Ipod has 80 gig and I don't have that much spare room on the hard drive of my laptop. Sorry to sound like a broken record (Oooops, showing my age since they don't have records anymore!) but the secret for me is to try pasting in the track list area instead of focusing on the name in the source list anytime you need to paste files and see if that works for you, too. It is worth a try. I have to do it that way even when pasting into Itunes. I have tried pasting into the Music folder by focusing on it but when I search for the items they are never there. Also, when I go to the edit menu while focusing on the music folder or the Ipod music folder the paste command says not available. Go figure. Another note: I always add items to my iTunes by creating a playlist in iTunes I call new additions or some such name. Then whenever I want to add new files to iTunes I paste them into the list area of this playlist. Then I can look them over and make any changes in genre or other information. For example, some of my country music comes out with a different genre so that is when I change it to country so it will show up automatically in my country playlist. After the new files are set and you have added them to whatever regular playlists they belong in you can then delete the items from the new additions playlist so it will be ready for the next batch of new files. Now, are you totally confused? Feel free to write with any questions about using iTunes with Jaws 9 or 10 and I will do my best to help. HTH Sherrie -.

Re: [JAWS-Users] PDA recommendations?
Although it is not a phone, you might want to check out the Braille Sense from GW Micro. It has a braille style keyboard, but you can connect a USB external keyboard. I am using one of those rubber roll-up keyboards. It has built in wireless. It works well with active Sync running on a Windows XP computer for syncing contacts and calendar items in Outlook. You can transfer files via USB and Active Sync, or you can use a thumb drive. I tried the phone as a note taker route and was not happy with the Bluetooth connection for the keyboard.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Excel - fill column with 1's
Yes, I've done this before with putting a 1 or a 0 in the cell so that I could count how many rows met a certain criteria. So for example, if I want to keep track of how many people had paid their dues, in the Paid column I would enter a 1 if they paid, or a 0 if they had not. Then I would have a total cell at the bottom of the column. Another way to do this is with the Count function. This is helpful when you have more then 2 criteria. An example would be keeping track of how many people paid via cash, check, credit card, and those who had not yet paid. You assign a value to each of these criteria, i.e. 0=not yet paid, 1=cash, 2= check and 3=credit card. You then set up a cell for each criteria that you want to get a total on using the Count function. So you would have 4 cells set up, 1 to count the total number of cash payments, 1 for counting total number of check payments, etc. Unfortunately, I can't tell you off of the top of my head how to set up the count function. Over the next few days, I will try and find a spreadsheet where I set this up and see if I can provide you with more info. Maybe someone else on this list can help sooner. You might want to post this question to the Blind Computing list as this is more of an application question then a JAWS question.

I am not understanding what you are doing with the 2 rows or columns Maybe it is just too early in the morning for me to be reading your explanation. Do you have headers at the top of each column? If so how many columns wide is your information? How many rows of data do you have? Is the information for each record contained to one row, or is it stored on 2 or more rows for each record?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Excel sorting summarizing
Well if you sorted on the column where the names are stored, you would have all of each name grouped together. I've not had much with filters, and I've never worked with the delete duplicate feature. I usually just manually delete the rows I do not want.

I guess what I meant is that my name appears in rows 100 times in column f and your name appears on 100 rows in column f. So I believe if I sort on column f all ann rows will be together and 100 rows annette would be together. If I could drop duplicates or summarize on column f then I would have 1 row for Ann and 1 row for Annette. I sort of found something for Excel 2003 in data, filter, advanced filter, drop duplicate records, but it did not work as I thought it would. I'll try again later or tomorrow. I find when I walk away from something and go back to it later I usually solve problem. But thank you for your suggestion. Even the sort on column did not work for column f. The real data in column F is an IP address because I am tracking the c:\windows\PFirewall.Log file because I thought I had a hacker on my PC. Long story but this sighted person had access to my desktop inside my home. I blocked exceptions in Windows firewall, changed passwords on DSL, modem, banks. I added passwords to all sensitive documents on my PC. So I thought this file if sorted and summarized would go from about 37,000 rows down to about 100 or less. I then could do research on IP addresses. It is just my way of trying to investigate. I have AVG Free edition 8.0 and Super AntiSpyware software installed. I'll let you know if I succeed. I am uncertain if I could even research these 100 IP address. Most IP addresses are mine or ones that I know about. Hope this makes sense.

Are all 100 rows of Ann exactly the same, and then all 100 rows of Annette
the same? If yes, are you wanting to delete 99 rows of each? Or are you

Hi I apologize for all the confusion.
In this example there are 100 rows of Ann and 100 rows for Annette.
The name Ann or Annette is in column f, comprising 200 records.
After sorting on column f, all rows for Ann are together from a1:f100.
So the first 100 rows have info for Ann in column F Followed by next 100
rows for Annette from a101 to f200.
The duplication of rows is triggered by name Ann or Annette located in
column F.
If Excel can get rid of duplicates based on info in column 6 which is name
Ann or Annette then only 1 row would be created for Ann and 1 row for
Annette.

Re: [JAWS-Users] sorting in word 2000
Hi David, Providing that the text is not in a table, do the following Select the text that you want to sort. Do not include additional text before or after the lines of text with the names on it. Open the Tables menu from the menu bar. Navigate down to Sort and press enter. You are now is a dialog box where you can select the options for your sort. Let me know if you need help figuring out these options. If your info is in a table, then select the info in the column on which you want to sort, and use the sort option in the table menu as above. Sometimes Word acts funky when you try to sort the column. So make sure you have a header row at the top of the table, place your cursor in the header cell for the column you want to sort on, and again use the sort option as above. For some reason these last 2 options do not always work consistently, and I've never been able to figure out why that is.

Re: [JAWS-Users] sorting in word 2000
Yes, Excel is one way to do it, but an advantage of using Word with your info in a list (not a table) is that you can tell it which word to sort on in each line. So for example if your list is written first name followed by last name, and you want to sort on last name not first name, then you can tell the sort to look at the second word on the line. I hope that makes sense.

Re: [JAWS-Users] sorting in word 2000
David, Like I said in my earlier e-mail message, sometimes the sort option in Word acts odd. I sometimes wonder if I haven't selected a character outside of what I want to sort, and the sort option doesn't like it. I really don't know.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Creating flow charts that are accessible to JAWS
Many years ago when I had more sight then I do now, I used the spreadsheet in Appleworks to create Flow charts. I had one sheet where I stored groups of 9 cells that had symbols stored in the 8 perimeter cells. These symbols in combination would make up a visual representation of the different shapes to be used in the flow chart. I would store the name of that shape in the center cell. I would then copy the group of cells as needed into a new spreadsheet, and replace the contents of the center cell with my content for my flow chart. When I was done and printed it out, I would view it under the CCTV to see where I needed to make adjustments. I did not have the prettiest flow charts, but it got the message across. After I would show or explain to my professors how I was making the flow charts, they were very understanding over the look. But now I do not have sight to view my work, and I do not think my co-workers would go for that odd look.

I am pasting the information given on the site and the link for the software. Obviously, you would need to put in some time and effort to understand and operate Deev View. From the site: Deep View is an accessible Windows application for blind users to view, edit, and create node-link diagrams. Deep View automatically visualizes the diagrams so that a blind user can share a diagram with sighted persons. Deep View provides the user an interactive textual version of a diagram. A user uses keyboard commands (arrow keys and short cuts) to read and edit the diagram. Deep View is accessed with a screen reader, no additional software or hardware required. The textual language is customized for a diagram; for example, in a state machine a diagram link is called a transition from one state (node) to another state. Deep View is flexible to support a wide variety of node-link diagrams. Some of the diagrams are these: Flow-chart State machine Brainstorm diagram Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD) http://www.cs.unc.edu/~dorianm/academics/deepview/index.html Regards Roopakshi from India --- On Wed, 1/28/09, Annette Carr amca...@verizon.net wrote: From: Annette Carr amca...@verizon.net Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Creating flow charts that are accessible to JAWS To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Date: Wednesday, January 28, 2009, 4:33 PM Many years ago when I had more sight then I do now, I used the spreadsheet in Appleworks to create Flow charts.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Flow Charts
Thanks for the idea of using a spreadsheet or table. Unfortunately, I am having to analyze the flow of information of all of the services performed through our office, and then determine what data is currently being collected, what data we are required to report, and what changes we need to make.

If the flow chart is simply hierarchical this can simply be represented in a table which Jaws can read , announcing the number row which can correspond to the flow chart level. Different columns can represent different chains of accountability. So a merged cell in row 1 with Director can have 2 cells underneath in row 2 each with Assistant director for example underneath it. Further columns and levels can be created below these Assistant Director cells down to middle managers and staff. This is not perfect and cannot reflect all the subtleties of flow charts with different relationship but it is accessible at least, and the vast majority of staff flow charts that I have seen are mainly hierarchical . Of course it is possible to add comments in a table as well to reflect any particular subtlety.

The support from Jaws 10 is really great. I am using Jaws 9 but installed the demo of Jaws 10 so the support for iTunes was there. I was thinking of putting together a little tutorial for new users of iTunes but don't know if any are already available that go into the details. Anyway here is how I add songs (and books) to the iPod manually: Adding files manually to iPod Use control comma to go to the preferences in iTunes or choose it from the Edit menu. When you are on the General tab use the right arrow to move across the tabs. Jaws says use control tab but that does not work. After you get to Apple TV it seems like you are at the end but do another right arrow and after a time the Devices tab will appear. Tab to Automatically sync iPod and uncheck it so you can do it manually. Then tab to oK. To add songs or books do the following: Focus on the name of your iPod in the source list after you have connected it. Create a new playlist and call it whatever you like (You can delete the playlist later if you wish after the songs appear in your Music folder on the iPod.) . Go down your source list and make sure it shows right in the list following the name of your iPod so you know you created it on the iPod and not in the iTunes library. Now it is a matter of choosing the music you want to add and copying it to the clipboard. If you are starting out and want to add a whole playlist just go to the name of the playlist and tab twice to put you in the list of songs and choose Select all from the Edit menu or Control A. Then I choose Copy from the Edit menu or the Applications menu just to be sure. I think using the Control A checks all the items but to be sure press the applications key and see if Uncheck selection is listed. It took me a while before I discovered the many things that can be done by using the choices in the Applications menu so check it out carefully. Now go to the empty playlist you made on your iPod. Tab twice so you are in the empty list area. Choose Paste from the Edit menu. The songs should be copied into the playlist and onto the iPod. Some people have luck focusing on the Music folder or the name of the playlist and doing the paste but it has never worked for me. I have very good luck pasting into an empty playlist. Adding the songs takes time. I think you can check on the progress by using the Jaws cursor to read the info at the top of the window. I can also hear the computer working. After it has pasted all the songs into the empty playlist on the iPod you can go to the music folder of the iPod and tab to the search box to search for one of the titles just to be sure it got there. When you do the syncing manually you need to use the Remove hardware Safely feature on your computer or I think an eject command appears in one of the menus. Anyway you need to be sure not to disconnect while it is still adding music. One trick I noticed when adding a book in mp3 format was that after I copied the files to the regular clipboard (not in iTunes) I just created a playlist on the iPod and pasted the files directly there instead of pasting them into iTunes and then onto the iPod. It was a good shortcut since I don't need those files in iTunes anyway.

Re: [JAWS-Users] itunes question
Below are my instructions for importing audio books from a CD into iTunes for preparation of moving the imported book to an iPod. I'm guessing that there are many other ways to accomplish this same task, but this is how I figured it out as a beginner iTunes user. My pre-teen daughter only understands clicking with a mouse, so I had to take her coded explanation of how to import music, combine it with what I read on the web and come up with a way to accomplish the same task from the keyboard. If anyone has suggestions on how to improve these directions, just let me know. David, I have these instructions in a Ms-Word 2003 document if you want to post them to the web site. HTH, Annette Importing Audio Books from CD to iTunes Instructions compiled by Annette Carr (January 2009) NOTE: These directions are for iTunes 8 and JAWS 10. JAWS 10 does have focus issues when in iTunes. TAB-ing away from your current position and back usually resolves this problem. 1. Put CD in drive. 2. If you are asked if you want to import into iTunes, click NO. 3. If you are asked about getting CD info, it is up to you whether to answer YES or NO. If you want to just use the information retrieved from the disk, then select NO. If you want to see what is available, then select YES. If you do not like the results, then CANCEL. 4. Navigate to the name of the CD listed under devices in the source list. 5. Press the applications key to bring up the application menu and select GET INFO. 6. Tab through the items in this dialog box and make corrections as needed. Make sure the CD title includes the CD number. If there are 10 or more CDs in the set, be sure to start labeling with 01, 02, etc. 7. TAB to the List view where you should see all of the tracks of the CD. 8. Select ALL items in the list. 9. From the Advanced menu on the menu bar select Join Tracks 10. Shift+TAB back to the Source list and make sure you have the title of the CD listed under devices selected. 11. Switch to the JAWS cursor and navigate to the status bar at the bottom of the screen, and all the way to the right to the Import button. 12. Route PC to JAWS Cursor. 13. Left mouse click to start the importing process. 14. Wait patiently until you hear the iTune chime letting you know that the importing process is complete. If you need to, you can switch back to the JAWS cursor and navigate up to the top of the screen. The line below the menu bar will provide you with the importing status. Note, switching back to the PC cursor might be an issue. You might need to TAB until you find yourself back in the source list. 15. In the Source list navigate to the iTunes Music list, most likely at the top of the list. 16. Tab to the search box and type in part or all of the book title and press enter. 17. Tab to the List of items and navigate to the book you just imported. 18. Use the application key to open the application menu and select Get Info. 19. Move to the Info tab and tab through the item and make corrections if needed. You should not need to change anything in most cases. 20. Move to the Option tab and make the following 3 changes: a. Change Media to Audio Book. b. Check Remember Playback position. c. Check Skip When Shuffling. d. TAB to OK and select to save changes. 21. The audio book is no longer listed in the Music items list. 22. Navigate to the Source list and move to Audio Books. 23. TAB to the item list and make sure the CD is listed. 24. Make a new play list for the book and add this item to it. 25. Navigate back to the Source list and move to the CD listed under Devices. 26. Open the application menu with the applications key and navigate to Eject Disk. 27. Repeat the above steps for all CD in the set. 28. Sync iPod so that the play list for the book is moved to the iPod. -Original Message- From: jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Waqas Chauhdry Sent: Tuesday, January 20, 2009 11:25 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] itunes question Do you mind sharing those please?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Unzipping a zipped book from the bookshare re-vamp website
I have not downloaded a book since they updated their web site. But prior to this, and it is probably still the case, you have to down load their unpack tool. Once you get the download tool installed, you just select the book file from either My Documents or where ever you have it saved. This will automatically open the unpack tool and you just follow the prompts/dialog boxes.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Font styles in MS Word 2003
I stumbled across this in the JAWS help today. I do not know if it will be of any help with your graphical font dilemma. Hope it helps. I've pasted it below. Annette Adding Speech for Special Symbols While JAWS correctly represents the most frequently used symbols with speech, you may need to add new ones. If you are reading a document and find that JAWS misrepresents or does not announce a symbol, do the following: Note: These steps are only applicable if you are using JAWS with Windows 2000 or later (that is, the unicode version of JAWS). Versions of JAWS installed on earlier Windows operating systems do not support this feature. list of 7 items 1. From the Utilities menu, choose Configuration Manager. 2. From the Set Options menu, choose Graphics and Symbols. 3. Select the Speak Character Value in Hex check box. 4. Choose OK. Then, press CTRL+S to save your changes and press ALT+F4 to close Configuration Manager. 5. Return to your document. Move the cursor to a lowercase letter a (type one if none are present) and press NUM PAD 5 three times quickly. JAWS should say, Character U+61HEX. If you hear anything else, do not proceed with these steps. 6. Move the cursor to the character whose speech representation you want to change and press NUM PAD 5 three times quickly to obtain the hexadecimal unicode value of the character. Be sure to make a note of this value, as you will need it in the next steps. 7. Using a text editor like Notepad, open the .sbl file for the active synthesizer. This file is located in your user settings folder (C:\Documents and Settings\[User Name]\Application Data\Freedom Scientific\JAWS\X (where X is the JAWS version number)\Settings\Enu). If your user settings folder does not contain Eloq.sbl, then look for it in the shared settings folder. list end Note: Character definitions are specific to your synthesizer and selected language. For example, if you are using Eloquence and American English, you should open the file named Eloq.sbl and modify the section named [American English]. list of 2 items 8. At the bottom of the appropriate section for your language, add a new entry for the specific symbol you want JAWS to speak. The entry should be in the following format: U+=SpokenRepresentation (Where is the unicode hexadecimal value of the symbol, and SpokenRepresentation is the desired pronunciation). 9. Save your changes to the .sbl file, and then quit and restart JAWS. Your speech changes should now take effect. list end -Original Message- From: jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Elaine Sent: Tuesday, December 16, 2008 10:51 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] Font styles in MS Word 2003 Hiya I'm continuing to work through my college work, and hit a part where I have to change the font style. normally this is pretty easy to do but the font I am asked to use is Wingdings and webdings. for those not familiar with them, they're pictures instead of words. for example, if you wanted to write a note for a telephone message, you could write (windings font) a picture of a telephone then in another normal font the phone number. My question is, I'm using jaws 8 and office 2003 at college. When I changed the font to either wingdings or webdings jaws doesn't see the graphic, which is what I expected. I thought of labelling the graphic but, I cant appear to get the jaws cursor on to the graphic to label it. the cursor sits either left or right of the graphic. I even asked my assistant to click on it with the mouse but she couldn't do it either. another option I thought of, was to label the graphic in the dictionary manager. I did that and if I used the jaws cursor to read the sentence it worked, but, not with the pc cursor. With the PC cursor, all I saw instead of the graphic, was a /. I tried using all graphics mode to see if jaws would pick up any graphic but that didn't appear to help neither. does anyone know of a way I can use this font? for my course I have to write a sentence using this font, then manipulate them, either moving copying or deleting them. I would very much appreciate any help or suggestion that could be offered as I'm getting extremely frustrated. thanks in advance.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Alert document is empty

Re: [JAWS-Users] *(JAWS with projecter)*
I use LCD projectors and Smart Boards to do all of my many presentations. JAWS should work just fine as long as you are connecting a computer (desktop or laptop) with JAWS installed on it to the LCD projector or Smart Board. The next thing you need to be concerned about is the software you will be using to do the presentation. JAWS must be able to work with that software. I recommend that you use a headset so that only you can hear what JAWS is saying. If you need to move around the room, you might want to look into some type of wireless type of headset. If the software that you are going to use for the presentation is not compatible with JAWS, then write me off list and I can give you some ideas on how to handle this problem with some non-technology solutions.

Re: [JAWS-Users] *(LAPTOP KEYSTROKE WITH JAWS REGISTERED)*
Most laptops have an embedded numpad. For example on my laptop, when the numlock is on and you press the Function Key and then press the letter J you will get the number 1. K will produce the number 2, the letter U is the number 4, the letter I will give you the number 5, and so on. When the numlock is off, these same keys pressed with the function will produce the JAWS commands you are used to getting from the numpad on a standard keyboard's. If you need to combined these keys with the insert key, you will now be doing a 3-key command. Many people find this inconvenient, thus going back to the laptop commands.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Web search, and book reading?
Maybe you can try to find out the title or subtitle of what you need to read and do a search for that word or words, instead of searching for the page numbers. If you have access to a flat bed scanner, scan the pages in yourself through the MS-Word scanning feature. Take your book to class and bring some paperclips or sticky notes. Mark the first and last pages of the assigned reading.

The class is using the print copy? Also, there are different editions of it on the Web. Your best bet may be - if you can't get a printed copy of their book and don't have OCR - to download a .pdf version of what they're using (if such can be procured) and use it as the basis for pagination purposes, at least. (The .pdf might be a more accurate rendering of the printed book. HTML, being computer based and on the computer screen, cannot really be.) As I said, there are different editions of the CCC on the Web; one of which - for instance - is that of the Knights of Columbus. I have searched for and hlooked at some of the Google results.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Creating columns within word.
Creating columns in MS-Word 1. Select the text in your MS-Word document that you want to arrange in columns. If you want the entire document to be in columns, then move to the top of the document. 2. From the Format menu on the menu bar arrow down to Columns. 3. Tab through the dialog box to make such selections as how many columns you want your text to appear in, your margins, whether you want a vertical line between the columns, whether you want to format only the selected text, or the entire document, etc. NOTE: I find it easier to not create the columns until I have completed my final edits on the text. Personally, I hate reading documents that have been formatted into columns. I guess if I'd take the time to learn the column specific commands, my feeling might change.

One thing that helps me is to paste it into a plain text message, or, if you have your messages set to compose in html, go to the format menu with alt+O, then press the letter X for plain text. This will remove all of the cells and stuff like that from the message. Once that's done, highlight the entire body of the message, and copy it to the clipboard. Then, you can switch it back to Rich Text/html by again going to the format menu with alt+O, and pressing R to switch back to rich text. At this point, highlight the entire body of the message again, and paste what's in the clipboard over what you've highlighted. I see no other way of doing this, but truth be told, I haven't investigated the issue much, as this way works well for me. Oh, and Patricia, just to et you know, I'll be responding to your message you sent me off-list later tonight, so please keep an eye out for it.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Working in Radio Broadcasting,
I was brought in to make accommodations to the campus radio station for a student who was blind. We installed a USB sound card so that JAWS would be heard through it and not over the air on the primary sound card. The radio station used a DJ software package from Australia which was not all that accessible. Unfortunately, I cannot remember the name of it. Maybe it was something like OTS DJ. The radio station manager figured out a way that the student could bring his play list in on a CD in a different format, then a student assistant would load it for him. The student was able to independently control the console, microphones, cassette and CD player for things that were not on his play list. I think the student used a braille list of which CD and track to play in what order. For one class, the student was required to record his show on cassette and turn it in for approval prior to the show. There was a web site by a guy that goes by the Snowman. He was very helpful in pointing me in the right direction to assist this student. That is about the extent of my knowledge.

Yes, it is both a flatbed and sheet feeder. In duplex mode it can scan 25 sheets which equals 50 pages per minute. The duplex mode only works with the sheet feeder.

Consider using Excel or a table in Word. There is a command in both of these programs for entering the date and time. I personally like either of these 2 options over creating a form in Word because both the Excel and Word table options allow you to sort the records. So you could sort by who the messages are from, who they are for, by date, or any other field you have.

All other attributes, such as alignment, number formatting, font, etc. should transfer okay. This is actually the default, so you really don't need to use the paste special function. You can simply use control-v. The only way to get the column width to transfer is to select the entire column using the control-space bar function, copy it and paste it. This will copy the entire column, including all of its formatting. Remember, though, that you must be focused on the top row of the spreadsheet you are pasting to before pressing control-v. Otherwise you will get an error message.

Thank you for your reply. Yes, navigating to this dialog box is what I've been doing, but I was hoping that there was a shorter way of accomplishing this.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Finding out column width in excel
Thank you very much for that info. I did not know about the Insert+f+f command, nor have I ever been able to correlate points and inches, so the info you provided will prove to be helpful. After reading your message I tried out the Insert+f+f command and found out that when you execute it on a set of merged cells, it still tells you only the points for the single cell, and not for the entire height and width. Have you found this to be the case?. Any ideas how to work around this?

One of the pieces of information provided is the height and width of the cell in points, e.g., cell dimentions are 54 points wide by 12 points heigh. The number of characters you can fit in 54 points depends on the font you have selected. All cells in a column must be the same width.

I've read over quite a bit in the JAWS help and could not find out anything on finding out the width of a column or cell. I find it hard to believe that there is not a JAWS command for obtaining this info. Any other ideas?

I woke up in the middle of the night to realize that I meant to say insert-f1. It will give the column with. Insert-f1-f1 is another function altogether. Thanks for the catch.

Hope that helps.

That is, hold down insert---the Jawskey--and press f1 twice quickly. You will hear a ton of information in a virtual window, and the width of the cell will be a part of it. Press escape to escape the virtual window and return to your text. At 09:09 PM 9/9/2007, you wrote: I am using Office 2003 and Jaws 7x and 8x.
