Re: [JAWS-Users] what's the name of the program that shrinks microsoft word docks to 1 page?
This isn't a program, and it doesn't reduce a document to one page, but rather by one page. It is a function of Word itself. Here is what I sent to the list along with preceding dialog: --begin excerpt from web pate: http://www.pcreview.co.uk/forums/shrink-page-2010-a-t3948039.html Is there still a shrink 1 page option in 2010 Word? If so, where? Yes, it's available in the Customize Quick Access Toolbar and Customize Ribbon command lists, in the All Commands category. Is it not still on the toolbar in Print Preview? Yes, it's there -- but. In Word 2010, there's a non-editable print preview in the Print tab of the File (a.k.a. Backstage pane), which has no ribbon/toolbar. In order to get the editable print preview, which does have a ribbon, you have to add the Print Preview Edit Mode button to the Quick Access Toolbar or to a custom group on the ribbon. This is almost completely undiscoverable and is going to need a page at mvps.org. --end excerpt from web page So I looked, and in the Customize Keyboard dialog, under All Commands, there is a Print Preview Edit command. Once you assign it to a keystroke, and use that keystroke in a document, you have the old print preview which contains the One Page button and which you can dismiss with the escape key. Not sure it's worth doing, but I guess it's nice to know one can do it.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Accessing a Preview Graphic
I've had other people say that the shift+insert+v keystroke doesn't work in JAWS 13 but it does for me, so I don't get it. Anyway, from the JAWS help system, searching for Personalize in the index, here's what I gleaned: Personalizing Web Settings Do the following to create or modify personalized settings for a Web page. Note that changes made are saved permanently to JSI files (for example, FreedomScientific.com.jsi) and do not apply to other Web pages. JSI files are stored in the PersonalizedSettings folder, which can be found by choosing the Start button, All Programs, JAWS X (where X is the JAWS version number), Explore JAWS, and then the Explore My Settings folder. Press INSERT+V to open the Quick Settings dialog box. Focus is in the Search edit box. Press DOWN ARROW to move to the Quick Settings tree view. Press P to move to the Personalize Web Settings group. If necessary, press RIGHT ARROW to expand the group. Press DOWN ARROW to move to the different options and groups within Personalize Web Settings, and press SPACEBAR to make changes.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Shrink document to one page in Word 2010
You can also assign a keyboard shortcut to this command. The function attempts to reduce the document to one page fewer than it would ordinarily occupy. The name of the function in the Customize Keyboard dialog is Tools, shrink to Fit. You can get to it by pressing alt+f, t, c, alt+t to reach the Customize Keyboard dialog, then in the list of tabs, choose either the Print Preview or All Commands tab, with the former being a much shorter list. Once you have chosen your desired tab, press the TAB key, then press T and arrow to Tools Shrink to Fit. Tab twice to the Press New Shortcut Key edit field and press the desired key. Use the JAWS cursor to see if the key is already assigned to a function you want to preserve. If so, tab twice to the Assign button and press space to activate. The function has a different name in the Customize Keyboard dialog than it does in the Customize QAT dialog, but I suspect both refer to the same function.

However, the button can still be added to the quick access toolbar. You can then activate the function by using Alt with the number representing the position of the button on the QAT. Here is how to add it: 1. Press Alt+F to activate the file button. 2. Press Alt+T to move to the Word options dialog box. 3. Press the letter Q to move to the customize the quick access toolbar options. 4. Tab to the choose commands from combo box and press the letter A until you get to the All commands choice. 5. Tab to the list of commands and press the letter S and then use page down or arrow keys until you find the shrink one page command. (commands are listed in alphabetical order). 6. Tab to the Add button and press spacebar. 7. Tab to the list box of commands that are on the quick access toolbar and find out the position of the command in the list. Alt with the number representing the position of the command will activate the command. If it is the second one in the list then Alt+2 can be used to activate it in a document. 8. You can also tab to buttons to use for moving the command up or down in the list. 9. Tab to the OK button and press spacebar.

Back in Word 2003, within the Print Preview window, there used to be a toolbar button that would take various elements of a document like font, line spacing, margin width and length and various other properties, and alter them, upon command, of course, to bring everything to one page. So, for example, if I had a document, let's say for argument's sake, this is a formal letter to someone that is about so many words in length, and the letter would take up only one page, if not for the signature line at the bottom which seems to be showing up on the second page, which is not professional in the least. So, one would go into the file menu, enter on print preview, and, in the resulting window, one would press the alt key to activate the menu bar, then control+tab to get to the toolbar whereby you could move to the right control+and enter on the button which had an image of multiple pages with an curved arrow pointing to one page on the right side of the button. I found this button to be a Godsend, especially where I was writing quick format letters that would invariably creep onto the second page with my name at the bottom.

Re: [JAWS-Users] How to edit the list of acceptable words I've added to the MS Outlook and MS Word spell check ?
Using Office 2010, but I suspect the procedure is the same to do this: press alt+t, then o for the old-fashioned keystroke, or press alt+f and arrow to Options. I don't remember the Quick Access Key, but in 2010 it is T. If you arrowed to it, press enter. In the resulting list of categories, arrow to Proofing, then tab. Now, press alt+c dor tab to Custom Dictionaries and press space. Finally tab to Edit Word List and press enter.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Using JAWS and buying a new computer
Tim, to clarify: are you saying that some programs are accessible to JAWS, i.e., speak better, using a high-end graphics card, or that you, as a person with some vision, can read them? You use the word see here so I want to know what you are saying. Does JAWS have some functionality on the high-end system that it lacks on the other one assuming no vision?

I guess the only way I'd change my opinion is to see a comparison of the same OS where a high-end video card could do certain things that couldn't be done with shared graphics, all other things being equal.

The processing and front-side bus speed should be fast, and get as much memory as you can, 4GB preferrably 8GB although you really don't need more than that. If you go above 4GB, you will by definition be getting a 64-bit system. Frankly, I would opt for a desktop because of the additional ports and possibility to expand it easier.

Re: [JAWS-Users] jaws 13 sleep mode
If you are using JAWS 13, sleep mode is found in the settings center under the miscellaneous options. From within your game, press insert+6. I don't know whether your game is on the web or is a separate application. If it is a separate application, JAWS will invite you to create a configuration for it, and you want to do so. Once you say yes, go into settings center, either search for sleep or tab to the list of options and press m for miscellaneous, right arrow, down arrow or s for sleep mode, space to toggle. If on the other hand this is just a web-based game of some sort, you can put jaws to sleep temporarily but you'll have to work out how to wake it up later.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Kendal reader?
The Kindle for PC program voices whatever it voices with its own voice. It does not rely on screen reader access. With that program, some reading is possible. As amy Mason pointed out in the January, 2012 Braille Monitor: The Amazon Kindle for PC provides a slightly better experience in so far as it is possible to go forward and backward in a book, read continuously or by page, and read sentences. Amazon has chosen to allow JAWS and NVDA users to navigate menus with the screen reader, but it has implemented its own commands and voice to read the actual text on the screen, meaning that there is no Braille support for the experience, and users are unable to read in smaller increments than by sentence. Thus, although some rudimentary access to Kindle books is available, it is not nearly enough to use the books for anything but the most casual reading.

Re: [JAWS-Users] graphics question with Internet Explorer
Sharon, you may gain a lot of running a demo of JAWS 13 and trying the page. Sometimes the upgrades can enhance Internet Explorer functionality with different pages. Even if you don't plan to upgrade, you could run the demo and still get a little use of the latest version. It seems like you're doing the right thing with regards to setting graphics mode to All, so I don't know why the setting isn't holding. While on the site, press shift+insert+v, then press G until you reach the graphics options; space until you hear All, then press enter. That way, whatever the setting is in the configuration manager, it will be personalized for this page. More controvertially, you might want to try the page with www.satogo.com. I find several pages where I need to use System Access to read them fully, though I'm going to experiment, now that this has come up, to see if having all graphics spoken solves any of those problems.

I want the Jaws settings to show all graphics not tagged graphics when I open a website. Every page I open that I need a specific graphic to show I have to go in and change the setting from tagged graphics to show all graphics. I think it is the configuration manager that I need to set it for all my Internet Explorer pages but I am having a very hard time with this. I went to the default jaws settings in configuration manager and the choice for graphics is show all. I opened the Internet explorer.jcf configuration and it was already set to show all graphics. I did the save on that screen anyway but every page I open in Internet Explorer shows the graphics back to tagged only. I am beginning to think I should just go back to IE 8 although I was really excited when I actually got a Doctor Oz video to play the other day and then got one to play this morning. But I can't replicate what I did except that the link to start the video is a long string of letters and such that only shows up once in a while. I have spent hours and hours trying to figure out exact steps to play the videos. Very frustrating as I am really a Doctor Oz fan. If anyone knows how to make them play, I would love to know. The website is www.doctoroz.com. I also need more graphics to show up on my Facebook page and on some other sites. So how do I make I E 9 remember to show all graphics and not tagged graphics.

Of the four radio buttons, choose Document conversion for this example. Of course, the others are all viable options gtoo. 3. Once a radio button is chosen, two more headings appear below them. Note that upon choosing the radio button you want, you may be bounced to the edit field for entering your e-mail address, and you will have to move up to the options heading.

Aside from my own issues, I'm not sure that their website is all that accessible because I had to get telephone help from them with getting registered so that I can log in. Now I see that paying checks on line is in a frame. So I need to know how to get into the frame to see what is involved and then leave the frame when I'm done. Can anyone make a suggestion about getting in and out of the frame?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Edsharp question
Hello, all. Based on when I subscribed today, I might have been subscriber #600, or 598, or something. I love edSharp, but that particular feature never works for me. I would love to use it when converting tidbits to html (see below,) but I can't, so instead, I use Notetab Lite, www.notetab.com, also free, for the html conversion process. It is another powerful text editor, in many ways as good as edSharp. Jamal does eventually respond to support requests and sometimes acts on them.
