[JAWS-Users] Hidden columns in Excel
Hello, I am working on a project to determine if JAWS will show up a hidden column in Excel or not. When I open up the document initially I am able to see the column. If I arrow or tab away however, the row will be hidden. Is this normal from excel 2010? Thank you For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/

Re: [JAWS-Users] google classroom and PDF files
Hi, I am using Adobe Acrobat X Pro. I had to do some digging but found the settings you speak of. When I go to the pdf file in classroom and enter on it it still opens the viewer. It will not open the file in Adobe Acrobat X Pro. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Adrian Spratt Sent: Tuesday, January 23, 2018 1:16 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] google classroom and PDF files Hi, Chad. I'm assuming your student is using JAWS and that you're working with JAWS to find the solution. PDF files need to be set up specifically for accessibility. Here's a short list of instructions compiled from posts by Mike B and Gerald Levy, members of this list. Note that you must be in the Adobe or Acrobat application to make these adjustments: 1. Go into preferences with control-k. JAWS lands on an item in a tree view. If you have been here before, it will be the item you last opened. Arrow down to Security Enhanced. Note that this is the item below Security. Then uncheck Enable Protected Mode at startup, Note. When making changes in the Security Enhanced section, you will be told that Adobe needs to be restarted, but you can wait to finish the other changes first. 2. Launch the Edit menu, scroll down to the Accessibility submenu and open it. Scroll down to the Set up Assistant and press enter. The Set Up Assistant has five screens, but the only change you have to make is on the Last, screen 5 of 5. Go through all the screens, pressing spacebar on Next in each instance, until you reach the fifth and final screen. Here, tab to the check box labeled "Open PDF documents in the browser" and make sure that it is unchecked. It may be checked by default. Then tab to the Okay button. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Chad Brown Sent: Tuesday, January 23, 2018 12:54 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] google classroom and PDF files Hi, Trying to assist a student with the subject of this message.

Hit the home key to go to the first icon on your desktop. 3. Hit the letter J and you should be on Jaws 16 if you have it installed. If not then you should be on Jaws 17 if you do not have any other icon starting with j. If you have Jaws 16 and Jaws 17 loaded then hit the j twice to get to Jaws 17. 4. Hit enter key and Jaws will load.

This problem only started a couple of days ago and nothing had been installed or deleted from the computer. The hot key had been working just fine. I had been on a website and I was trying to purchase something and it wasn't working too well so I turned off JAWS with the insert+F4 and when I went to use Control+Alt+j it wouldn't work. I did wait for several seconds and nothing happened. I tried using the hot key again a few times and nothing. I went to see if the hot key was still there and it's there. I've turned off the computer and also restarted it but the hot key still doesn't work. If I try to delete the hot key and re-enter it, for some reason I'm taken off the JAWS screen and taken to the Desktop and I have to go back to JAWS in the taskbar and no matter if I try and re-enter the hot key again, it still takes me to the Desktop.
