Then copy that table and paste into a blank Excel worksheet. Lots of steps, but it gives you the opportunity to clean up the data and nesting levels.

[JAWS-Users] jaws and printers
Greetings: I need to purchase a new printer because the one I have does not make ink cartridges anymore. The one I have does not communicate with jaws very well. I hear a sound and there is a message on the screen but I cannot get jaws to read it, so if I am alone I can't figure out what to do. Can anyone recommend a printer that works well with jaws? I have windows 8.1 with jaws 14 on a HP Envy. Thanks so much, Dwight For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/

Either can be accessed via the Ctrl+1 Excel keystroke. First make sure you're positioned on one of the adjacent rows. Then press Ctrl+1 and wait for the multi-page dialog to show. This multi-page dialog is not always instant. Ctrl+tab to the alignment page and tab until you find the "Merge cells" checkbox. Uncheck it if necessary and press enter. If the problem was not resolved, then again press Ctrl+1 and Ctrl+tab until you find the protection page. Tab there to see if the "Hidden" checkbox is checked. Uncheck. See if that fixes it.

You might need to use the JAWS pass through command first, which is the JAWS key with the number 3. (Use the number three that is above the E and not the one on the number pad). Try it without the pass through first but my system must be using that keystroke for something else and I need to use the pass through command. To change the format of a cell to a number format that uses two decimal places, a thousand separator and a minus sign when applicable use CTRL+Shift+! (that is the control key with the shift key and the number 1) If you need to select a range to apply the formatting to then you can use CTRL+G and type in the first and last cell to be included in the range separated by a colon. For example, A7:g12 will select cells starting with a7 and ending with g12 once you press the enter key. You can then use the keystroke to apply the number format you want. If you want a different numbering format then use CTRL+1 and use the formatting dialog box to make your change. Take care.

However, if it's running and it detects problems, then I think you'll get notifications about this. You can open windows defender by pressing windows key to go to the start screen, type all or part of windows defender and press enter. On the home tab, the status of windows defender is shown, but I can't figure out how to get Jaws to read it. (but see below). On the Settings tab there's a check box to indicate whether run-time protection is switched on. Back to Windows defender status. You can easily user narrator to read it, without having to turn Jaws off: 1. Open windows defender. The initial focus in the scan button on the home tab. 2. Press ctrl+windows Key+U to start narrator. 3. Press caps lock key + right arrow to move to the next item, which is normally the status, and should read your pc is being monitored and protected. 4. press ctrl+windows key + U to close narrator. If you want to you can pin windows defender to the taskbar: when it's window it open, press windows key + T until you get to the taskbar button for windows defender, open its context menu, and choose pin this program to the taskbar.

Maybe the folks who claim that IE 8 doesn't work with JAWS 9 did not have the latest build installed.

If you're using a widescreen 16:9 display, it can be approximately something about 1280*720 and 32 bit colours. This should work, and remember to say ok to the new settings before time out. Hope that this can give you acccess to the information on the screen, by using the Jaws cursor. Be also aware of, which background is selected for the desktop e.g. Hans Pauli. -- Fra: Dwight Johnson dwight...@comcast.net Dato: 6. december 2010 00:58 Til: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Emne: [JAWS-Users] jaws curser Hello: I re-formatted my hard drive and installed Microsoft Office 2007. I then installed my Jaws 9 which I have been using for two or three years. Everything seems to work much better except the jaws curser. When I turn on the jaws curser and press any arrow key jaws only says blank. Any explanations or suggestions?

[JAWS-Users] adobe flash player
Hello Everyone: I am using windows xp with jaws 9. When I go to certain web sites I get a message that I need adobe flashplayer 8 or better. When I try to install the flashplayer I get a message that it is already installed. I went to control panel and then to add/remove programs and tried to remove adobe flashplayer. Adobe flashplayer 10.1.8 is there but when I try to uninstall it nothing happens. I get a q button and an I button but clicking on either of them has no action. Does anyone have a simple solution? I don't think I can do complicated ones. Thanks, Dwight Johnson For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
[JAWS-Users] IE8 IE7
Hello: I am using jaws9 and windows xp. I downloaded I e 8 but it was not compatible with jaws. So I restored the system to the previous day. Now I e7 will not load. I used a flash drive and downloaded I e 7 from another computer and after loading it on my computer it will not load. My computer acts as if the program is just not there. Any suggestion and help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Dwight Johnson For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
Re: [JAWS-Users] IE8 IE7
I restored my computer to the correct time, I then ran IE 8 and I get this message: How to fix the drive letter access and internet explorer 8 incompatibility problem. That statement is followed by Parent document button. Clicking on that does nothing. Opening a new tabb, such as facebook, will give me the first line of that window followed by open parent document buttton. I do not know what else to do except remove I E 8 and go back to I E 7. I would like to use I E 8.

Performing a System Restore without first removeing IE 8 will not work. You should restore your computer to the state it was in after IE 8 was installed, and then remove it using Add/Remove Programs. IE 8 will be listed under Windows Internet Explorer. You cannot have two versions of IE installed at the same time, which is probably why you could not install IE 7 from aflash drive. There are third-party suites that contain all versions of IE, but my experience is that they don't work and may really screw up your computer. I am using IE 8 with JAWS 9 and XP Pro and have had no problems. Good luck.

[JAWS-Users] opening attachments
Is there a secret to opening attachments? Some will open with no problem, but others will not open unless a sighted person uses the mouse. If I get a multiple attachment I can sometimes open one of them but not the others without using the mouse. I am using xp, outlook and jaws 9.
