Re: [JAWS-Users] going back to previous version of jaws

[Fernando Gregoire]

There's no need to uninstall newer versions of JAWS. Unlike other programs,
many JAWS versions can work together in the same system, provided no more
than one is running at the same time.
I would simply install JAWS 14 over the most recent versions, using the
/Type Safe command-line switch to prevent system-level components like FS
Video Intercept, which are shared components, from being replaced with
older versions.

Hope it helps!

Re: [JAWS-Users] Actions recommended

[Fernando Gregoire]

Hi,

This is the icon of the Windows Defender Security Center. Besides the
Antivirus component, this new app gives recommendations on performance and
security settings in general, as well as for missing drivers.
Unless you don't have another antivirus than Windows Defender,
recommendations of this app are not very useful. They are about things you
can configure in Settings and Control Panel or for Store/UWP apps.
The options you describe are not recommended actions, but the context menu
of this icon. To see the report of which areas have recommended actions to
apply, ignore or learn more about them, simulate a left double click on the
icon and use the Touch Cursor.

Hope it helps!

Re: [JAWS-Users] Using the mouse

[Fernando Gregoire]

Unfortunately you will have to ask for sighted assistance.
Even if you manage to make JAWS dragging simulation commands to work, it
works with specific objects instead of allowing to draw.
The only suggestion I think is to enable the Mouse Echo feature (press
JAWS+SPACE, E) and see if you can locate the area for signature by using
your actual mouse, and then hold the left button and drag as if you were
signing something on a paper dotted line.

Hope it helps!

Re: [JAWS-Users] Good ole' Eloquence

[Fernando Gregoire]

Yes, Ivona voice have excellent quality. However, since JAWS does not have
entries for U.S. Spanish and this is the dialect reported by Ivona voices
into American Spanish, JAWS reads punctuation using English names when
using some of these voices. These voices, in addition, have the problem I
described with exclamation marks.
In older versions, you could configure JAWS to let synthesizer to handle
punctuation speaking. This is no longer available in Settings Center.
Also, like any SAPI 5 voice in JAWS, it often changes voices between PC
cursor and tutor messages incorrectly. This problem sometimes happens with
Eloquence too, but not very often.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Help in setting up macros in word 2010

[Fernando Gregoire]

Hi Al,

If all you need is to insert form fields for data whose value can only be
true or false, it is not necessary to complicate your life with macros/VBA.
A checkbox form field should be enough.
Regarding the fact JM described you about form creation not being the same
on newer versions of Word, it effectively reffers mostly to an
accessibility consideration. In Word 2007 and later, Microsoft implemented
a new thing called “content controls,” which have existing functionality of
classic form fields but also include capabilities such as deletion when
completed which make them suitable for templates and other content
reutilization scenarios.
The problem, as the Freedom Scientific tutorial for creating accessible
forms in Word, is that those new content controls are not currently
accessible with the keyboard. Fortunately Word still has the option, in the
Developer tab together with the new content controls, a split button called
“Legacy Control” which allows you to insert a form field like the ones
available in Word 2003 and earlier, which are backward compatible and more
accessible with the keyboard and JAWS.

Hope it helps!

Re: [JAWS-Users] Good ole' Eloquence

[Fernando Gregoire]

I always used and still use Eloquence for dayly screen reading.
Although other engines have more human-sounding voices, most do not change
intonation correctly when there are question or exclamation marks, or
change with random results. At least in Spanish, Eloquence is the only
engine which clearly change intonation in all of these cases if the text is
well punctuated.
At least in Spanish, Eloquence only have two problems.
First, whetter you use Castilian or Latin American, the y letter is read
the same as i, which is not right when navigating by character. I solve
this by adding a JAWS dictionary rule, only for Eloquence and Spanish, that
makes a nonintrusive sound each time an y appears. It is important to
choose a nonintrusive sound, because the y in Spanish must be pronnounced
the same as “i” when in a phrase is like the English “and”.
The second and most important problem is that there's not a Spanish
Eloquence dialect that correctly read sillables with sh and, at the same
time, distinct sounds of c, s and z. While the Castilian Spanish
differentiates these sounds like in Spain but does not correctly read the
sh sillables, Latin American is the oposite. While the behabiour of Latin
American Spanish matches the way in which we treat these aspects in most
Latin American countries (even when this language setting is made thinking
in Mexico), there should be a language setting mixing these two advantages
like other engines do.

Last, but not least, Eloquence does not become unstable when activating the
Caps During Say All option in JAWS, which allows to read a word in a louder
pitch when it contains capital letters during a Say All. This option can be
turned on also when using other engines like Vocalizer, but even the
various Vocalizer versions specifically aimed for Freedom Scientific
products become sluggish at changing pitch for specific words in long
phrases.
What about question and exclamation marks intonation with speech engines in
English?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Problem with OCR on a TIF file with multiple pages

Hi Debby,

This is certainly something that FS should inprove in a future major or
minnor release.
As a workaround, however, you could save the file as PDF by using a virtual
printer, such as the one included with Foxit Reader (this software is
comparably accessible as Adobe Reader and easier to create basic things) or
the one built into Windows 10, called Microsoft Print to PDF.
In my experience, JAWS has no problem recognizing a PDF file with multiple
pages.

[JAWS-Users] formatting Facebook notes

[Fernando Gregoire]

Hi all,

 

A long time ago, it was possible to format text in Facebook notes by using HTML 
tags like , , etc.

Then, in 2014 or so, they introduced a WYSIWYG editor which no longer supported 
HTML tags. Instead, we had to select text, disable JAWS Forms Mode and, below 
the editor and the Post button, there was a list of links with different 
options like Bold, Italic etc. which applied these attributes to the selected 
text.

Now I'm trying to format text on a note, but JAWS is not detecting the links 
with the different formattings. I know these links are present, because when I 
select text it appears, below the Post button, a button saying Close the Popup 
and Return, which is not present when no text is selected.

I've tried both with Firefox, Chrome and Internet Explorer, both with JAWS and 
NVDA, with the same results in all cases.

Does someone know how to format text on a Facebook note right now by using only 
the keyboard?

 

Thanks in advance!

options/voices/voice profiles Now when I go into that dialog box it only wants 
to change the voice for the Jaws window instead of Word? I am confused.

Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS Settings

[Fernando Gregoire]

Hi Dani,

Unless you have modified and saved a full copy of default.jss (and compiled
default.jsb) script file in your user folder, there's usually no problem
copying user settings between versions. For example, I always copy my
default dictionary and JCFs of programs for which I toggled Sleep Mode on,
especially games.
This always was as simple as copying files from the Settings\(language) of
the source JAWS version in your user folder to the Settings\(language) of
the target one. In JAWS 2018 and latter this is even simpler, because you
can create a backup using the JAWS utility for this and then use the JAWS
wizard to export only one file in the target version, with the advantage
that you do not need to know exact location for copying the files, as well
as you can check and uncheck individually and in groups things you want to
copy or not from the backup file to the target version.

Hope it helps!

Re: [JAWS-Users] Reading multiple formatting in a doc

[Fernando Gregoire]

Hi Wayne,

If columns are part of a table, you can move between them using TAB and 
SHIFT+TAB, or with JAWS table navigation methods, either by pressing 
ALT+LEFT/RIGHT ARROW, or JAWS+SPACEBAR, T, and then the arrow keys.
If columns are not actually part of a table, as far as I know, there's no quick 
way for moving between then.

Hope it helps!

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Reading multiple formatting in a doc

Hello- I have a Spanish workbook in MS Word 2007. I am using JAWS 7 with 
Windows 7. The doc has different formatting on a single page. There is standard 
text, a table and an area with 2 columns. How can I move back and forth between 
the 2 columns because the first column has the Spanish word and column 2 has 
the translation across from it?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Question on Firefox 60.0.1 settings

[Fernando Gregoire]

Hi Andy,

A long time ago it was necessary to uncheck this item in order to force
Firefox to don't use Direct3D even on Windows Vista and newer, which
prevented to use JAWS cursor. It was not related to JAWS Virtual PC Cursor
support.
Problems with Firefox 57 and newer with JAWS are not related to hardware
acceleration, but to the fact by default Firefox 57 and newer use a
different process for each tab, and unlike Chrome the infrastructure for
transferring content of different processes to asistive technologies is not
as accurate.

Regarding hardware acceleration, it unloads a bit the CPU by processing
media content like videos and games in the GPU (the graphics card or video
adapter) instead of the CPU or processor. This is especially convenient on
slow CPUs like the ones of low end netbook computers or some older ones,
but perhaps more power consumming and not as useful on more powerful CPUs.
Anyway, I always prefer to turn this on in order to leave CPU free for most
other programs which don't specifically support GPU processing.

Hope it helps!

Hi Mike,

I'm glad this worked for you.
It would be nice to know the exact Registry key created or modified by this 
policy, to make this change on Windows 10 Home Edition, which unlike more 
advanced ones, does not have the Group Policy Editor. Unfortunately I have no 
idea on which key is affected.

Hi Mike and all,

If the confirmation message appears on the screen but JAWS is not saying it, 
perhaps it's helpful to know that in Windows 10 balloons was replaced with 
toasts, which like notifications in the Action Center are handled by the 
ShellExperienceHost process, too unstable like most UWP apps and areas, 
unfortunately increasing.
JAWS 17 and newer have a verbosity setting concerning Windows 10 notifications, 
but it is not as accurate as balloon reading, which was being developed since 
Windows XP.
If you have Windows 10 Pro, there's a group policy which allow to use balloons 
instead of new toast notifications.
Press WINDOWS+R, type the following and then press ENTER:
gpedit.msc
In the three view go to User Configuration, Administrative Templates, Start 
Menu and Taskbar.
When you reach Start Menu and Taskbar, tab to the list view.
In the list view, find the following policy:
Disable showing balloon notifications as toasts

Press ENTER to open properties of this policy, tab to the group of radio 
buttons and change from Not Configured to Enabled, and press OK or ENTER.
When finished, restart the computer for this change to take effect.

By the way, File Explorer and other system and third-party apps which 
previously shown balloons will do that exactly as in prior Windows versions, 
including JAWS ability to simulate a left mouse click.

Hope it helps!

Re: [JAWS-Users] Superscript in Word 2016

[Fernando Gregoire]

It is nice JAWS to offer many so different built-in schemes and, in case
none of them suit our needs, the capability of configuring each aspect of a
scheme.
For dayly use, I'm right with the Classic scheme with only one (technically
six) modification: instead of hearing heading level numbers, I configured
the Classic scheme to play a different piano note depending on the specific
heading level, therefore navigating by headings or reading documents with
many titles is faster.
Since I rarely need JAWS to report each attribute or font change in a text
(usually INSERT+F for specific parts is enough), I'm not confident with
Proofreading-like schemes that indicate changes simply by reading the
affected with another voice or pitch. For these cases, I prefer built-in
variants of the Classic Scheme instead.

Regarding Word changing automatically superscripts, subscripts and many
other things, I find useful to have the Provide Feedback with Sound option
checked. On this topic, it plays a Liquid Paper sound when Word changes
something automatically, and a thighter one when you place your caret over
a text which was modified automatically, although in this case by default
JAWS say “Smart tag: Undo automatic actions,” which indicate you can press
ALT+SHIFT+F10 to open a context menu related to the correction made.

Hope it helps!

Re: [JAWS-Users] Superscript in Word 2016

[Fernando Gregoire]

Hi Adrian,

You were told nice alternatives to make JAWS report superscript and subscript, 
so it makes no sense I repeat many things others already said.
Regarding Word automatically not changing ordinals, this is controlled by the 
AutoFormat As You Type auto-correct options. These options are per-program 
basis, so it is normal it is enabled in Outlook and disabled in Word.
To enable this in Word, go to the File tab, Word Options.
In the Categories list box, choose Proofing and tab to the Auto-Correct Options.
In the dialog opened by this button, press CTRL+TAB until you reach the 
AutoFormat As You Type page. Then tab to a checkbox like Ordinals (1th) with 
Superscript and press SPACE BAR to check this. I can't give you the exact name 
of this checkbox, since many options of this tab have language-specific names. 
In the case of ordinals, in Spanish there are both two specific symbols and, in 
practice, many people incorrectly use suffixes like “do”, “ra”, etc.

Hope it helps!

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Superscript in Word 2016

Hi. In previous versions of Word, superscript would be verbalized when I moved 
character by character. also, when I typed a number such as 14th, Word would 
automatically make the "th" superscript. Neither is happening with Word 2016 
and the current release of JAWS 2018. Even more disconcerting, a sighted 
assistant tells me that sometimes the "th" or "nd" is superscript, sometimes 
not, probably because I'm working in a document created in an earlier version 
of Word.

Can anyone suggest how:

  1.  To get Word to make "th" and "nd" in numbers like 14th and 2nd 
automatically appear as superscript?
  2.  To get JAWS to report superscript, and also subscript, in Word documents? 
I looked at the intermediate settings  for anything that might help, but 
nothing leapt out.

Note: Superscript is handled fine in Outlook 2016, which I have tethered to 
Word 2016.

Thanks.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Firefox 60

[Fernando Gregoire]

Hi Adrian,

Non-screen reader users find less limitations because web developers often try 
and patch their pages on a case by case basis for the major browsers.
The problem with accessibility is not only the different implementation of ARIA 
support in different browsers, but also different implementation of ARIA 
support in each screen reader, which is different itself and highly dependant 
on how each browser provides this support. If this is a big mess thinking only 
in different JAWS versions, this complicates even more when evaluating NVDA 
(luckily the source code is available and has some useful development and 
testing tools not present in JAWS). Do you imagine this big mess if you add 
other less used screen readers like Windows 10 Narrator, Xerox SystemAccess, 
Dolphin Hal/Supernova, and Thunder? Note that I only mentioned screen readers 
for Windows, excluding different TalkBack versions and other tools available 
for Android, iOS and Macintosh VoiceOver, etc.

I don't know why, but usually I don't need to switch between different 
browsers. Chrome is very accessible and functional for browsing, but honestly I 
am trying each new Firefox release in wait to the problems with JAWS get 
finally fixed, because it offers an UI and more customizability than Chrome.

Aaron,

Thanks for posting your detailed rant. I, too, am enormously frustrated that 
browsing has become so time--consuming and sometimes unreliable. I'm constantly 
switching among three browsers and two versions of JAWS because different 
combinations work best with different websites, and even then some websites 
remain hard, if not impossible, to navigate. The other day, a certain website 
owner had taken steps to make everything accessible, only for me to install 
Firefox 60 and generate a host of new issues. No wonder some website designers 
get frustrated with accessibility obligations. 

Developments on the Web seem to be moving faster than screenreader companies 
can keep up with. But I wonder why non-screenreader users aren't also 
encountering limitations with different browsers, since each seems to function 
differently.

Re: [JAWS-Users] secondary language and voice

[Fernando Gregoire]

Hi Holger,

At least from JAWS UI, in a given voice profile you can only set speed and 
punctuation on a per-language basis.
As an alternative, you may create a new voice profile whose primary language is 
Spanish and switch to it with CTRL+JAWS+S. However, this has the disadvantage 
of language detection feature not working automatically.

Hope it helps!

Using W10 and jaws 2018. How do I select a voice when I am reading web in

Re: [JAWS-Users] Firefox 60

[Fernando Gregoire]

Hi Cristóbal and all,

I have the same problems with Firefox 60 and JAWS 2018 April update that I had 
with non-ESR versions 57-59, except that now the virtual buffer does not seem 
to be blank at short intervals. Navigation through and building of the virtual 
buffer is slow even on very simple pages, and commands like INSERT+F7 to 
generating lists of items often time out with no results.
I admit I'm now testing on a netbook with an Intel Atom N570 processor at 1.66 
ghz and 2 GB of RAM, which is certainly not suitable for a multi-process 
architecture like Quantum. I should also test on my desktop computer, with 4 GB 
o RAM and a dual-core Pentium processor at 2.60 ghz.
Unfortunately, unless I use ESR versions, I still need to use Chrome to 
continue using JAWS when browsing the Internet.

Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Firefox 60

I wrote VFO with issues I was having with Jaws and Firefox 60 and Jaws losing 
speech for a second or two when arrowing around a webpage. Almost as if it was 
catching up with the keystrokes. Jaws wasn't slow or sluggish per say as when 
it was moving around, it felt responsive, but the speech silencing thing was 
getting annoying. That along with an existing issue I've been having with Jaws 
just randomly losing focus on any site and me having to maximize the window or 
tab or shift plus tab to get focus back all the time made the user experience a 
frustrating one. 
The response I got back was: 
Thank you for contacting VFO ® Technical Support.  I have tried Firefox 60 with 
the most recent version of JAWS® 2018 and have not really found the issues you 
mention.  At times, I have found that sometimes, when a Web site is still 
loading, it might get sluggish, but if you give it a minute or 2, you can 
navigate just fine.  I just spent about 5-10 minutes navigating a very 
resource-intensive Web site and was actually very impressed with performance.  
Therefore, I am not sure this is a general issue but one that might be specific 
to your machine.

So, aside from me not waiting around a minute or two for every single webpage 
to load when I didn't have to before, looks like I'm going to have to call tech 
support so I can demonstrate for them these odd speech pauses and whatnot. 
Don't know if I'll be able to do so anytime soon as I work during the day, but 
anyway. I've gone back to V 52.X in the meantime.
Regarding the alerts, I was able to disable those with an about:config tweek a 
while back. I'll have to dig around for it again.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Firefox 60

I'm experiencing several problems with Firefox 60. Here's a copy of the email I 
just sent VFO explaining what they are. I did mention in the message that I 
recently upgraded from Firefox 52ESR to 60.


  1.  When I try to log in to a website, Firefox's message offering to save the 
log-in information is spoken, and then spoken several more times. I caught that 
to decline, I should press alt-d. when I did so, Firefox hung up and eventually 
gave me the options to wait or close. After what was already a long wait, I 
closed it.

I've encountered this message several times since. Pressing alt-d led to the 
same result, as did my try with alt-n (which often brings up other options).
The only way to get past this message is to wait for it to go away.


  1.  On the donations page of the website www.wnyc.org, 
the combo boxes for state and country don't give any information, e.g., state 
abbreviations. These combo boxes do work with IE11. A similar problem came up 
on another website with Firefox 60, but I can't be sure I've diagnosed the 
problem yet.


  1.  Placemarkers are behaving erratically. None carried over from Firefox 
52ESR, so I've had to start over again putting them in place. One repeating 
problem is that even though I uncheck the box that would apply the placemarker 
throughout a website, the placemarkers all apply on every page.
This means I've accumulated twelve placemarkers on every page of one website I 
regularly visit, even though I want at most three per page.


  1.  I'm also finding that some placemarkers just don't work when I press the 
k key. Even though the placemarker list shows one for that location, k doesn't 
locate it.

I'm working with JAWS 2018.1804.26.400,, and my OS is Windows 7.

Re: [JAWS-Users] keyboard shortcuts for reading a powerpoint 2016

[Fernando Gregoire]

Hi Paul,

Unless the file is .pps or .ppsx, by default it is opened for editing, which 
means you can only read by tabbing from object to object and changing between 
slides with PAGE UP and PAGE DOWN.
To open the slideshow view, which is the default view when the file is .pps, 
press F5. In this view, although you can access a detailed list from witting 
the context menu, basically JAWS uses the Virtual Cursor; to go to the next 
slide press SPACE, and BACKSPACE to go to the prior; if you want to go to a 
specific slide you can press a number and then ENTER, but before pressing the 
number you'll have to press JAWS+3, because numbers in JAWS are assigned to 
heading navigation by level when Virtual Cursor is active.

Hope it helps!

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws OCR?

[Fernando Gregoire]

Hi Adrian and all,

As I understood, Arvind is asking if it's possible to launch an OCR command on 
an image of a web page with no need to save the image or other advanced tricks 
first.
If that was the question, although theoretically should be possible to locate 
the Virtual Cursor over the graphic and press JAWS+SPACE, O, C to recognize the 
current control (graphics are a control type as well for JAWS various 
managements like verbosity level settings and speech and sound schemes), I 
never could get this to work for graphics in web browsers. Therefore, I manage 
to open the graphic's context menu to choose the item for displaying the image 
alone. When I can display the image, I press CTRL+S to save the actual image 
file to a folder in the computer, and then I can get JAWS (or a specialized OCR 
software like ABBYY FineReader in case of complex documents, but these are not 
frequent in web graphics). Since I prefer making JAWS to recognize the file 
itself instead of the screen contents because it is more accurate, when there 
was no direct recognition of image files like JPEG ones in JAWS, that is before 
version 2018, I used to choose the option for printing the image and selecting 
in Windows 10 the virtual printer called Microsoft Print to PDF which does 
exactly that, so then I could open the resulting PDF in Adobe Reader and make 
JAWS to recognize the file itself by pressing JAWS+SPACE, O, D.

Hope it helps!

Hi. If you're working with the JAWS OCR feature, the OCR conversion takes place

Re: [JAWS-Users] High Importance E-mail

[Fernando Gregoire]

Hi Tom,

Yes, using access keys underline in the ribbon is also convenient. I can't
however indicate commands of that type here, because unlike the ones in
ribbons of Windows apps such as WordPad and File Explorer, access keys are
different in non-English Office versions, because Office 2007 and higher
allow some Office 2003 access keys (which were language-specific as in any
menu bar) for backwards compatibility. By the way, while the access key for
attaching a recent file in Spanish Outlook 2016 is ALT+B, A, V, the key
sequence will probably be different in the English version.
For the case of the High Importance button, even when I don't remember the
access key, I'm sure ALT+H is ALT+O in Spanish, the one for the Home tab
for compatibility with the Tools menu previously opened with ALT+H (Tools
in Spanish is Herramientas).

Re: [JAWS-Users] High Importance E-mail

[Fernando Gregoire]

Hi Tom,

The easiest way to add a keystroke for this is to add the item to the Quick 
Access Toolbar by opening a new message, finding in the Message tab the High 
Importance button, pressing APPLICATIONS or SHIFT+F10 and choosing Add to Quick 
Access Toolbar item. If you haven't added nor removed anything from the Quick 
Access Toolbar for the message editing window the High Importance button should 
be the fourth item, so it would be assigned to ALT+4.
Since ALT+NUMBER keystrokes are assigned in JAWS for reading Outlook message 
headers, you will have to press JAWS+3 before using the abobe mentioned 
keystroke.

Hope it helps!

You can get these scripts at http://www.dlee.org/youtube.
If you will use the scripts in English, the installer makes everything for you

If you speak another language different than English, you will have to 
translate the scripts yourself or ask for them in your local communities. As an

Re: [JAWS-Users] The JAWS cursor in Windows 10, and certain programs

[Fernando Gregoire]

Hi,

Freedom Scientific is aware of the increasingly common problems regarding 
JAWS/Invisible Cursor and other things which use the Off Screen Model (OSM). 
Because of this, in the JAWS 2018 April update, an option was added to the 
Miscellaneous group of Settings Center.
This option is a checkbox named Use Accessibility Driver. By default it is 
checked, which means the old behavior is used, but you can try to uncheck it to 
use a new technology called Accessibility Monitor API.
This is not currently on the JAWS help system and by default it uses the 
classic infrastructure, so I assume this is still an experimental development 
we should use at our own risk; perhaps someone at Freedom Scientific could 
confirm this thought.

Hope it helps!

Hi everyone.

 

I'm using Windows 10 1709 with JAWS 18. I use a few old programs, like Soulseek 
nS, where I have most noticed this issue, but I've noted it using other 
programs as well; just can't think of them at the moment. This slsk program 
requires some JAWS cursor use, to move the mouse pointer, open the search 
dialog, etc. Usually, it works fine, although if the window ever accidentally 
gets minimised, I lose access to the program entirely and have to restart it - 
I think this is some incompatibility issue with Windows 10.
Now, periodically, I have noticed that when the window is up, and I am trying 
to use the jAWS cursor to move around, it will seem to get stuck.
Instead of saying "blank" or not saying anything (as was reported by another 
user a few weeks back), it will say a bunch of really weird stuff, like it is 
seeing an example of every kind of control and attribute and trying to report 
them, even though they are not there. It will say stuff like "checked unchecked 
pressed clickable draggable droppable invalid entry read only", and I won't be 
able to move the cursor anywhere. I have noticed that resizing the window or 
routing the cursor to PC sometimes solves the problem, but not consistently. As 
I know this behaviour manifests in other things, too, I was wondering if anyone 
had experienced this, and what you do to "free up" the cursor. Any thoughts?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Permanent placemarkers

[Fernando Gregoire]

Hi Adrian,

Yes, Spanish JAWS versions fill this edit box automatically too, but I usually 
change this automatic text a bit, especially by making deletions.
As an example, in a website in which articles aren't marked with headings nor 
regions, I added a placemarker into the line it tells the estimated reading 
time.
When I first added this placemarker, the automatically generated text included 
the specific time of the article I opened at that time, for example: “Estimated 
reading time: 6 minutes”.
To make the placemarker helpful for all articles, in addition to checking the 
box to apply this placemarker for all pages in the current domain, in the 
automatically generated text I removed everything after the colon.

You surely also keep this in mind when creating a placemarker, but I never 
needed to mark a place in which there is a link to make the placemarker to be 
reliable. The only case in which I had bad experiences was visiting a 
previously placemarked page but using a different web browser than the one used 
when I created the placemarkers. I suppose this is somewhat related to the 
Responsive Web Design about which Freedom Scientific posted on their blog at 
the end of 2017, but I had problems even on very standard HTMLs.

Hope it helps!

Yes, Fernando, and I usually check that box. To add to what you write here, 
when you check the "anchor to text" box, a new tab field appears with the text 
JAWS detects at that location. This is the edit field you refer to, but (as I'm 
sure you know) it isn't blank. You have a choice of keeping  that text or, as 
you suggest, typing in something different. However, I can't quite see why one 
would write something different. Regardless, this "anchor to text" option in 
the dialog can help in maintaining the placemarker but, in my experience, it is 
no guarantee. Even if the Website designer keeps the same text there, I've 
found that a text-associated placemarker isn't necessarily reliable unless it 
is also associated with a link. 

It sounds as though your experience might be different. I wonder, for example, 
if the Spanish version of JAWS doesn't fill in the edit field. 

I should mention that I haven't read anywhere about this link relationship. 
It's just something I noticed over time.

Hi Adrian,

Have you looked at the Associate with Text checkbox? When adding a placemarker 
this checkbox is unchecked by default, so you mark a line in the virtual 
representation instead of a specific text, therefore any small change on the 
page causes the link or whatever unit you have marked to be misslocated.
If you know a string of text that the part you want to mark always have 
regardless of changes, you can check this checkbox, tab once and enter the 
corresponding part of text. By the way, you will always reach the same element 
as long as the string of text you have associated to the placemarker is 
present, no matter of the line number.

Hope it helps!

Re: [JAWS-Users] word 2016 protected mode

[Fernando Gregoire]

Hi Steven,

You don't need JAWS cursor to activate this button. This is because this 
message and button are in the status bar, and since Office 2007 the status bar 
is also natively focusable with the keyboard by pressing F6.
This wouldn't be the case on anything on the status bar in Office 2003 and 
earlier. In these versions you can't get to the status bar with native keyboard 
commands, so you are required to use JAWS cursor unless you can find the item 
you need in a menu or toolbar.

Hope it helps!

Re: [JAWS-Users] word 2016 protected mode

[Fernando Gregoire]

Hi Mr. Ed,

This command goes to the Backstage view or File tab and there, in the Info tab, 
presses the Enable Editing button.
Regarding why many documents open in Protected View by default, this is the 
case for files saved with the Office 97-2003 formats whose file extensions 
hadn't a final x or m. Since these files could contain macros with no way to 
know at a glance if this was the case, and because macros may be an important 
security risk as this is executable code inside the document, by default Office 
2010 and latter open files from e-mail, Internet or potentially unsafe 
locations like removable drives in Protected View, which disables any macros 
and other similar technologies until you expressly authorize to work with the 
file at its full.
This is not the case for the new file types whose extensions have a final x or 
m, because files ending with x, unlike those ending with m, cannot contain 
macros.

You can, of course, disable this for all documents in the Trust Center Settings 
dialog for each Office program separately.

Hope it helps!

Re: [JAWS-Users] Changeing JAWS' volume

[Fernando Gregoire]

Hi net bat66 and Mike,

Does this procedure works when using Eloquence? In current JAWS versions there 
is no Volume slider when setting a voice profile with Eloquence, unlike with 
other synths like SAPI 5 or any Vocalizer variant.
As I remember from older JAWS versions, this control when using Eloquence was 
simply a read-only edit box which said “Use your system's volume.”

Thanks in advance!

1. Open Keyboard Manager without any applications / programs open to make sure 
you land on, Default, when you open Keyboard Manager.  Do this by pressing, 
Jaws key + F2, press the letter, K, until you have Keyboard Manager 
highlighted, & press enter.  If you don't have, Default, highlighted when 
opening the keyboard manager press the letter, D, until you do.

2. Find the following to assign keystrokes to them:
DecreaseVoiceVolume,  None
Decrease system volume,  None
IncreaseVoiceVolume,  None
Increase system Volume,  None
*Note:   None, means that there is not a keystroke assigned to these functions 
/ tasks.

3. On each of these functions / tasks press, Control + h, to open an edit field 
to insert the keystroke you would like to use for this particular function / 
task.  *Note:  Make sure not to press any other keys other than the keystroke 
you want!
4. After entering your desired keystroke tab one time, and there's a checkbox 
for assigning this keystroke to desktop keys only, usually people will uncheck 
this.

5. Tab to, Okay, Press ENTER, and choose OK in the confirmation dialog which 
appears.

6.  You'll be returned to the list view of scripts.  Use the same steps with 
the other functions / tasks listed above.

7. Close Keyboard Manager with, Alt + F4.

Take care.  Mike.  Go Dodgers!

Hi Richard,



I got one better than your way to create a shortcut.

All you have to do both in Windows 7 or Windows 10 is bring up either the run 
command with Windows Key+R or simply the search box with the Windows key.

Now type sndvol and press enter and bingo, you are on the volume control.

I have read you can add a -f flag, e.g. sndvol -f to bring u p the master 
volume directly but I found that even just sndvol will do this.

Here is the Jaws speech history as to what this sounds like, first without and 
then with the -f switch, I am using just the Windows key/Cortana search box and 
not the run command, note that the Jaws speech history gives you the result 
after you type every letter of “sndvol”, if you type it fast you never hear 
most of that, but I left it in just to show it:



Cortana

S, Search box edit

Sn, Snipping Tool, Desktop app

snd, See web results, Press right to open preview

sndv, See web results, Press right to open preview

sndvo, See web results, Press right to open preview

sndvol, Run command – this is where I pressed enter

Volume Mixer - Speakers (Realtek High Definition Audio) dialog

Speakers

Speakers

up down slider

83 – I am now pressing the down arrow several times and again the up arrow

82 percent

81 percent

80 percent

81 percent

82 percent

83 percent



Now here is what it sounds like with the -f switch added after SndVol, I left 
out all the suggestions which come up after each letter and go straight to the 
final one:

Cortana

sndvol -f, Run command

dialog

up down slider

83

82 percent

81 percent



Only difference seems to be that adding the -f switch doesn’t verbalize Volume 
Mixer - Speakers (Realtek High Definition Audio) dialog, Speakers, Speakers and 
instead it says right away the volume percentage.

You could of course create a shortcut with “sndvol” or “sndvol -f” but I 
personally find pressing the Windows key and typing sndvol is just about as 
fast as pressing Control+Alt+V or whatever shortcut you would assign the 
shortcut..

I guess another thing you can do is create the volume shortcut and put it on 
the taskbar, if you had it at the very left then pressing Windows Key+1 would 
do the trick as well.

I just tried it using SndVol -f for the shortcut which I called “Volume”, then 
I pinned it to the taskbar and dragged it to the first position  and when I 
pressed Windows+1 Jaws instantly says “Dialogue, up down slider, 81”.

Sieghard

Hi Gerardo,

For non-US customers, usually the order is managed by a local dealer which you 
should contact with to get information about order status.
If for any reason you purchased the license directly to Freedom Scientific, 
such as in their Online Store, you can contact them at 
i...@freedomscientific.com. For international sales related questions, you can 
also call to this phone number:
(727) 803-8000

As the help says on this: “To ensure that your request is handled promptly, 
include your complete address and telephone number.”

Translation of this info into Spanish is not very accurate, because by reading 
the Spanish text seems that international sales phone and fax mentioned are 
only for Canada, while in English it clearly reads “including Canada.”

Hope it helps!

Re: [JAWS-Users] What Windows10 version?

Steve is right. Furthermore, Pro edition allows to use the Group Policy Editor 
that, even when you aren't in an enterprise, it allows to make some advanced 
settings that are not available in Control Panel or Settings, and without this 
Group Policy Editor would require to manually editing the Registry, which is 
more risky if you are not cautious.
Also the Computer Management console has more tools than this one in Home

Of course there are some other features not available in Home edition, but I 
think these are the more relevant ones for a home/non-business use.

Does it make a difference?  In what way?

Windows 10 pro gives you a bit more control over when updates are installed 
than the Home version does.
As far as Jaws performance with other programs, it doesn't matter which version 
of Windows 10 you have -- Home, Pro, or Ultimate.

Re: [JAWS-Users] update

[Fernando Gregoire]

Hi all,

Windows 10 version 1803 is already being delivered for Insiders even in the 
Release Preview ring. Builds on this particular ring are identical to the ones 
that will be released to the general public, unless any critical installation 
bug is found. By the way, it is likely that general public to see this release 
to be delivered via Windows Update after some days.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Opening a second window in Firefox

[Fernando Gregoire]

Hi Adrian,

The bad thing here is that this problem is not caused by Firefox, but by JAWS. 
This is exactly the same issue that happens when you press CTRL+SHIFT+P to open 
a Private Browsing window in Firefox. This bug is not present when you use 
Firefox with NVDA.

Regarding information shown in the new tab page, I can't help on this, because 
I mostly go to web things I want by using auto-completion in the address bar, 
the Jump List of the browser pinned to the taskbar, bookmarks or search queries 
entered either in the box focusable by pressing CTRL+K (it is convenient 
because it allows to change the search engine on the fly) or in Google's home 
page, not the Firefox one that, as you say, has many things I'm not interested 
in.

Thank you, Fernando, for recognizing the problem I was trying to describe in my 
two recent posts, after I'd done a poor job with the first. 

As you suggest, a shift-tab followed by tab brings focus to the URL edit line. 
Turning off the virtual cursor does the same thing. Either one is an extra step 
compared to IE11, but a minor inconvenience.

That said, I wonder if the new tab screen can be simplified. I don't see how to 
delete some of the information presented there. Yes, I could delete some of the 
websites Firefox has picked up from previous searches, but it's useful to type 
in just the first few letters when I want them. However, why Firefox feels 
compelled to list them when IE11 doesn't is beyond me. 

Before I get to the list of websites on this screen, I'm confronted with a slew 
of useless verbiage that I'd love to remove. I'll close this post with a copy 
of that part of the screen:

Hi Adrian,

After pressing CTRL+T to open a new tab, press INSERT+A (INSERT even on laptop 
keyboard layout) to check the address bar. If it reads about:newtab, it is 
likely that JAWS turned virtual cursor on even when focus is on the address 
bar, so press SHIFT+TAB and then TAB again to see if focus is properly set to 
the address bar.
If the address bar have another URL, a program on your computer changed Firefox 
(and probably other browsers as well) settings such as new tab URL, home page 
and default search engine to show you ads. In this case, you should delete any 
unwanted toolbar or other extensions and then reset these Firefox settings.

Hope it helps!

Hello list,

When my computer did a Windows 10 update a while ago, I noticed JAWS 18 stopped 
starting up after log on. It would talk for log on but I'd get radio silence 
after I was signed in and would have to use the control-alt-j keystroke I set 
in properties to launch it or narrator. It seemed to do this even though it was 
set to start after log on. Now I've got an El Braille with JAWS 2018 and the 
same thing has happened. Now I need to try connecting a USB keyboard to the El 
Braille and try and trigger JAWS or narrator on so the Focus 14 display that 
comes with it will work again.

My question is has anybody experienced this and if so, what's the work around 
to stop this from happening every time I start my new El Braille? I fixed this 
problem on my laptop by simply switching to NVDA as my primary screenreader 
until I can figure this out. Thanks for any help you can provide. Regards, 
Jesse Tregarthen

Re: [JAWS-Users] Tips on dealing with/recognising screen-shots?

[Fernando Gregoire]

Hi,

If you have Windows 10, you can print as PDF with no need of additional 
software.
First, open the image alone to make it fully visible without other content 
abobe or below. This is done by opening image's context menu and choosing View 
Image or the related command in your specific browser. The easier browser for 
this, although worse for most other things, is Internet Explorer, because you 
can simply place the JAWS Virtual Cursor on the graphic and press APPLICATIONS 
to open the picture's context menu.
When you have the full image opened in your web browser, press CTRL+P to open 
the Print dialog box. In the Printer Name combobox, choose Microsoft Print As 
PDF and press ENTER.
In the Save as dialog that will appear, give a name for the PDF and specify the 
location in which it'll be saved.
When the file is saved, open it in Adobe Reader. If your version of this 
program is too old, you may need to update it to a newer one so the JAWS PDF 
recognition feature works.
If you are presented a dialog about read unlabeled document, choose Guess the 
Reading Order from the Document and press ENTER.
When you are in the document, press the JAWS keystroke to recognize the 
document independently of your screen resolution and related settings, that is: 
JAWS+SPACEBAR, O, D.
Wait until JAWS displays the OCR Results window and see if the recognized text 
is useful.

Hope it helps!

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Tips on dealing with/recognising screen-shots?

Hi everyone.

 

So, as most of you probably know, a lot of sighted people, when they want to 
share or copy something that's on their display, don't copy and paste. They 
take screen-shots. One can see how this is convenient; you don't have to worry 
about formatting, all images are represented, etc. Obviously though, without 
oCR, if there's important information in the screen-shot, it can be frustrating 
for a blind user.

 

So, I have JAWS 18 on this Windows 10 machine. I understand Convenient OCR has 
improved with JAWS 2018, but I can only work with what I've got. I'm looking at 
a page that contains a screen-shot of a powershell script, which I would like 
to be able to read. I have put my cursor where the image is, and done the JAWS 
OCR with the "c" parameter. The results are, sadly, as I unfortunately usually 
experience with Convenient oCR, just not up to scratch for this purpose. Lots 
of scanning errors. It could be that the image is unclear, of course. But I'm 
wondering if anyone with more experience can give me a pointer on what I can do 
with a screen-shot like this to make the image more susceptible to JAWS oCR.

 

I'm looking into getting Abbyy Finereader at some point, and I guess at least 
one variant of that program comes with a specialised screen-shot application. 
That'll be cool, but the software still costs a couple of hundred dollars and 
I'm going to have to hold out on that for now.

 

Any thoughts?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Classic Shell setting

[Fernando Gregoire]

Hi Mike,

The Readme provides important links and procedures to solve installation issues 
that can affect components like Classic Explorer or Classic IE, which depend on 
settings for ActiveX controls.
To know each setting in depth, it is best to see help found in the CHM file. 
For Classic Start Menu, you'll realize that many of the individual and specific 
settings you can change for a given style are simulations of settings that were 
available for these styles in Taskbar and Start Menu Properties dialog of the 
corresponding Windows version. This is particularly useful because this dialog 
(or the Settings categories in Windows 10) only offer settings for the provided 
styles in your current Windows version, and Windows 7 and newer does not 
natively offer a choice of classic Start menu style; moreover, from a user's 
point of view, Windows 8 and 8.1 have no Start menu at all.

For example, when in Classic Start Menu settings you choose Windows 7 style

or, in Windows XP style, wetter recent programs have keyboard shortcuts with

Classic link, Windows XP link, Windows Vista / Windows 7 link.  Now after you

which one you want, tab to, Okay, & press enter.  Now your settings are 
changed, but for me anyways, I don't know how the chosen settings will look / 
be read by Jaws until afterward.  This is why I say it takes some playing 
around with the Classic, XP, or Vista / Win 7settings, & both the Basic / All

care about the Explorer & IE settings, & only configure the Start Menu settings.

After installing Classic Shell you have to go into the various options &

To do this:
1. Open the Start Menu, & open the All Programs sub-menu.
2. Find the Classic Shell program & open the folder.
3. In here you will have, Classic Explorer Settings, Classic IE9 settings, & 
Classic Start Menu settings.  Press enter on the 1 of choice to get to your

For example in the Classic Start Menu settings.  You have Windows Classic,

Although this should be fixed by FS, see the following Freedom Scientific

I also discovered that this problem is also less frequent in computers where I

or, in Windows XP style, wetter recent programs have keyboard shortcuts with 
numbers, initial letters or none, or additional search providers if you use the 
Windows 2000 and earlier classic style which had a Search sub-menu. In all 
styles you can specify which options to display (Documents, Control Panel etc.) 
and how, and here it would be useful to know instantly the states of checkboxes 
in a way similar to Folder Options tree view which reports On or Off after the 
option name.

Thanks!

Hi Fernando,

The only checkboxes, so to speak, that are read by Jaws are the Basic Settings 
& the All Settings radio buttons.  You will get these 2 radio buttons after you 
click on a setting link, i.e; Open Start menu , press enter on either, Windows 
Classic link, Windows XP link, Windows Vista / Windows 7 link.  Now after you 
press enter, tab to the Basic Settings / All Settings radio buttons, choose 
which one you want, tab to, Okay, & press enter.  Now your settings are 
changed, but for me anyways, I don't know how the chosen settings will look / 
be read by Jaws until afterward.  This is why I say it takes some playing 
around with the Classic, XP, or Vista / Win 7settings, & both the Basic / All 
settings to get a feel for how Jaws will read for you.  Personally, I don't 
care about the Explorer & IE settings, & only configure the Start Menu settings.
Take care.  Mike.  Go Dodgers!

Hi Holger,

After installing Classic Shell you have to go into the various options & 
configure them.  for example, you need to configure the Start Menu to show the 
way you want it.

To do this:
1. Open the Start Menu, & open the All Programs sub-menu.
2. Find the Classic Shell program & open the folder.
3. In here you will have, Classic Explorer Settings, Classic IE9 settings, & 
Classic Start Menu settings.  Press enter on the 1 of choice to get to your 
options.
For example in the Classic Start Menu settings.  You have Windows Classic, 
Windows XP, & Windows Vista / Windows 7 links.
Click on 1 of them & choose from All settings or Basic settings.

It takes a little tinkering around, but eventually you'll get them the way you 
want them.  I believe I use the Windows Classic & All settings for the Start 
menu.
Take care.  Mike.  Go Dodgers!

Re: [JAWS-Users] volume short cut

Hi Denis,

In keyboards that follows the traditional layout, Scroll Lock is abobe the Home

area that JAWS help names “the six pack”.
In some new keyboards and most laptops, location of this key varies between

Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] volume short cut

Hi Holger,

Answers you were given are for quickly opening Volume Mixer, but they actually 
don't change the volume.
In case your keyboard has no volume keys, JAWS provides two scripts, 
IncreaseSystemVolume and DecreaseSystemVolume, that respectively raises or 
lower the volume from any application, with no need to open any additional 
window, and they announce the volume level to which you just set.
By default these scripts have no key assignment, but it is easy to map to a 
convenient keystroke:
1. Press INSERT+J to open the JAWS window or context menu, depending on your 
setting.
2. Press ALT+U to open the Utilities menu or sub-menu, depending on your 
setting.
3. Press K to open Keyboard Manager.
4. When Keyboard Manager opens, press TAB to move to the right pane, that is, 
the one containing key mappings of the file selected in the left pane, that 
should be Default if you launched Keyboard Manager as I indicated. If you ran 
Keyboard Manager in a different way, press CTRL+SHIFT+D to make sure you're 
working in the Default file instead of the one specific for the application 
from which you opened Keyboard Manager.
5. In the list view, find the script whose name is DecreaseSystemVolume. You'll 
find that it is not assigned to any key.
6. Press CTRL+A to add a keystroke to this script.
7. Press the keystroke you want to use to lower the volume. In my desktop 
computer I use CTRL+SCROLL LOCK+DOWN ARROW.
8. Press ENTER, and choose OK in the confirmation dialog which appears.
9. You'll be returned to the list view of scripts. Do the same with the 
IncreaseSystemVolume script, which you could assign to CTRL+SCROLL LOCK+UP 
ARROW.
10. Close Keyboard Manager with ALT+F4.

Advantages of this method are that volume is changed on the fly with no need to 
change the application, and it works even when you are on the Windows Logon 
screen. As a disadvantage, these keystrokes don't work when you aren't using 
JAWS or when you are in a program in which you configured JAWS to be in Sleep 
Mode.

Hope it helps!

Re: [JAWS-Users] task bar

[Fernando Gregoire]

Hi Mike,

Combining taskbar buttons means joining buttons belonging to different open 
documents in a given program on one single button. For example, if you have two 
Word documents opened at the same time and taskbar buttons are combined, you 
will not have a button for each document, but only a single button representing 
Word that will bring up a list in which you'll be able to select the document 
in which you're interested.
By the way, this combo box sets wetter buttons are never combined, always 
combined or only when taskbar is full, that is, when no more items fit on the 
screen area reserved for the taskbar according to your screen resolution, DPI 
scaling and related factors.
But luckily there is, unlike about many other areas in Windows 10, a well 
documented help topic that you can access by a link in the Taskbar Settings 
category which reads something like “How taskbars are customized?”. The link 
says taskbars in plural, because you can have multiple taskbars with different 
items, both on multiple monitors or multiple virtual desktops.
As you can see, although Control Panel is being replaced with Settings and the 
old dialog for taskbar is almost faced out, fortunately most concepts regarding 
these options aren’t so different from the fundamentals you may be familiar in 
previous Windows versions.

Hope it helps!

Hi Justin,

There are two factors that can be related to the apps listed when you press 
ALT+TAB.
First, in the Taskbar settings that you can quickly open by pressing 
ALT+ENTER on the Start button, there's a combo box on wetter taskbar 
ALT+buttons
are combined or not. This setting was previously available on the Taskbar and 
Start Menu Properties dialog box.
Second, since Windows 10, in the System\Multitasking category of the Settings 
app, theres a combobox to choose if pressing ALT+TAB moves through windows of 
the current desktop or all of them. If you use multiple desktops, you may need 
to adjust this setting in order to be able to alt-tabbing between windows on 
all of the open virtual desktops, not only the currently focused one.
Im sorry for not telling you exact names of the settings. I don’t have an 
English language pack to actually check them.

Regarding taskbar-related keyboard shortcuts with the Windows Logo key, 
WINDOWS+TAB was used in Windows XP and earlier versions to set the focus 
WINDOWS+on
the first and subsequently the next item of the taskbar. In Windows Vista and 7 
this shortcuts stopped working, unless you had Windows Aero enabled. 
The original hotkey, in Windows Vista and later, was changed by WINDOWS+T.
In Windows 10 WINDOWS+TAB also shows open windows, but on the Task View instead 
of the Taskbar. In addition to showing open windows, Task View allow to create 
and close virtual desktops, as well as moving windows between open desktops.
In Windows 10 version 1803, which is currently in preview and will soon be 
released to the general public, the Task View also allows to manage the 
Timeline, a feature which group different program windows related with a 
specific user work, such as the different Word documents, Outlook or Mail 
messages and Edge websites related to a given research, novel etc.

Hope it helps!

Re: [JAWS-Users] VIPRE and Window Defender

[Fernando Gregoire]

Hi Holger,

You can use both products altogether, but only one can be configured for 
real-time protection.
Windows now takes care of denying activation of WD real-time protection if 
you're using a third party AV like VIPRE. You can, in this case, use your third 
party AV product for real-time protection and configure Windows Defender to 
perform periodic scanning at regular intervals.
Depending on the Windows 10 build, you can configure this on Windows Defender 
Security Center or, in older builds, the Update and Security\Windows Defender 
category in the Settings app (WINDOWS+I).

Hope it helps!

Outlook is not free, but a part of Office editions higher than home ones. It

Outlook Express was the e-mail and newsgroup client included with IE in
Windows XP and earlier. It was free. It is available for downloads in some
websites, but be aware that running this client on Windows later than XP is

Windows 10 includes a free client called Mail, but it is very basic even

Can anyone tell me if OE or Outlook is free and if so, what is the process for 
downloading and installing? Using JAWS 2018, Windows 10 on a Dell laptop. 
Thanks.

Re: [JAWS-Users] links

[Fernando Gregoire]

Hi Holger,

If you are composing your e-mail as plain text, it will actually be no 
hyperlinks, so the presence of clickable links will depend on wetter the 
recipients e-mail client or web service recognizes web addresses or the type of 
link that pertaining text is likely to be.
If you want to be sure that links will be recogniced as such, use HTML format 
when composing your message and, although by default WLM converts links 
automatically, you can be even more sure if you manually use the option for 
inserting an hyperlink, which in WLM I don't remember if it can be done by 
pressing CTRL+K as in Outlook or if it's necessary to select the text first and 
then choosing an item in the Insert tab, similar to the procedure in Outlook 
Express. But be aware that this won't work if the recipient configured their 
e-mail client (or if it was automatically configured so by an antivirus) to 
read all messages as plain text.

Hope it helps!

Re: [JAWS-Users] task bar

[Fernando Gregoire]

Hi Justin,

There are two factors that can be related to the apps listed when you press 
ALT+TAB.
First, in the Taskbar settings that you can quickly open by pressing ALT+ENTER 
on the Start button, there's a combo box on wetter taskbar buttons are combined 
or not. This setting was previously available on the Taskbar and Start Menu 
Properties dialog box.
Second, since Windows 10, in the System\Multitasking category of the Settings 
app, theres a combobox to choose if pressing ALT+TAB moves through windows of 
the current desktop or all of them. If you use multiple desktops, you may need 
to adjust this setting in order to be able to alt-tabbing between windows on 
all of the open virtual desktops, not only the currently focused one.
Im sorry for not telling you exact names of the settings. I don’t have an 
English language pack to actually check them.

Regarding taskbar-related keyboard shortcuts with the Windows Logo key, 
WINDOWS+TAB was used in Windows XP and earlier versions to set the focus on the 
first and subsequently the next item of the taskbar. In Windows Vista and 7 
this shortcuts stopped working, unless you had Windows Aero enabled. The 
original hotkey, in Windows Vista and later, was changed by WINDOWS+T.
In Windows 10 WINDOWS+TAB also shows open windows, but on the Task View instead 
of the Taskbar. In addition to showing open windows, Task View allow to create 
and close virtual desktops, as well as moving windows between open desktops.
In Windows 10 version 1803, which is currently in preview and will soon be 
released to the general public, the Task View also allows to manage the 
Timeline, a feature which group different program windows related with a 
specific user work, such as the different Word documents, Outlook or Mail 
messages and Edge websites related to a given research, novel etc.

Hope it helps!

Re: [JAWS-Users] jaws and edge.

[Fernando Gregoire]

Hi Michael,

JAWS 18 latest updates and any version of JAWS 2018 have Edge support, so many 
virtual cursor features work similarly to the way they do in other browsers. 
This include the fact that you need to turn Forms Mode on by pressing ENTER to 
interact with controls like edit boxes such as a Password field.
If you are aware of this and your problem was that JAWS never stopped using 
virtual cursor even when you were already outside the Edge content area, this 
is a problem that you should to report. Until this is fixed by Freedom 
Scientific, if this issue occurs again, you can disable JAWS Edge support in 
the Settings Center.

Hope it helps!

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] what is VFO?

[Fernando Gregoire]

Hi all,

 

I ultimately are seeing many of you referring to VFO instead of Freedom 
Scientific when requiring JAWS technical support.

Since international customers have to buy or get support through dealers or in 
some cases governmental agencies, I'm not very aware on what is exactly VFO. Is 
it an enterprise to which Freedom Scientific sold its trademarks including 
JAWS? Is it a Freedom Scientific subsidiary to serve some specific area in the 
United States? Will software references to Freedom Scientific be replaced with 
VFO ones in the future?

Current Freedom Scientific website bottom simply tells “Part of VFO,” and VFO's 
website have no much information.

 

Thanks in advance!

Re: [JAWS-Users] Tandem Questions

[Fernando Gregoire]

Hi Denis,

JAWS 16 and later doesn't support Windows XP. I copy you information on release 
notes for JAWS 16 pertaining this.

JAWS 16 Discontinues Support of Windows XP

Microsoft discontinued support for the Windows XP operating system in April of 
2014, 13 plus years after its initial release. Based on this decision, we
have decided to discontinue the on-going development and testing for Windows XP 
as of JAWS 16. Starting with the initial release of JAWS 16, it will only
install on computers running Windows Vista or higher. For all of our customers 
who may continue to maintain a Windows XP computer, you can download the
current JAWS 15 release, along with earlier versions of JAWS, from our archive 
download pages on the Freedom Scientific web site. These earlier versions
will remain available for our customers in the future as well.

You can find these notes here:
http://www.freedomscientific.com/Downloads/jaws/jaws16features

I also remember that briefly after the release of JAWS 16, FS posted an update 
to JAWS 15, the final one specifically worrying about Windows XP, to fix broken 
JAWS support for Outlook Express. I'm now checking FS website and this is the 
relevant information about this on JAWS 15:

Enhancements in JAWS 15.0.11024 (August 2014)

This new update addresses the following two issues reported by multiple 
customers shortly after JAWS 15.0.11022 was posted.

• Resolved issues with Internet Explorer 8 and Outlook Express not working 
under Windows XP.
• Resolved reported issues where the updated Accessibility Driver would not 
install in Windows 8. It was working as expected in Windows 8.1.

These release notes are here:

The help tells the following:

It is not necessary to have the same operating system on both ends of the

However, help does not say anything about a computer controlling a target

press the button to select all file tipes and then the Close button or ESCAPE

Once it is done, press WINDOWS+I to open the new Settings Apps, go to and press

In this subcategory, you will find buttons with the default program for

Re: [JAWS-Users] User Account Control Settings, Setting it to Zero

[Fernando Gregoire]

Hi Mike,

Note that in Windows 8 and 10, unlike in Windows 7, when you set UAC to 0% you 
stop the dialog from appearing but, instead of disabling UAC to run everything 
as administrator by default as in Windows XP and prior versions, the UAC will 
automatically deny these permisions for programs trying to write, delete or 
modify something in a folder requiring administrator privileges different to 
the one in which the executable is stored.
You can use scripts or group policies to disable UAC in Windows 10, but some 
things like some UWP apps and special shell extensions will not work properly, 
for a reason I don't know why.
However, when you make changes in the UAC slider and press the OK button, a UAC 
confirmation will appear in a secure desktop, therefore JAWS will take a few 
seconds before speaking, and it could speak nothing if you have your current 
JAWS version disabled in the Ease of Access Center. When this dialog appear, 
simply answer the confirmation as any other UAC dialog.
Although is less safe, you can also configure UAC to display confirmations in a 
window on your user's desktop instead of a secure one, so you don't need to 
wait until JAWS switches its response to the secure desktop.

Hope it helps a bit!

Re: [JAWS-Users] Unmute key combo

[Fernando Gregoire]

I respect your opinion, Maria, but unmuting as it was implemented seems me a 
bad idea.
In addition to when starting JAWS (which is right), this is done every time you 
press JAWS+ESCAPE to refresh the screen or virtual buffer. Freedom Scientific 
says that this doesn't affect muting of the synthesizer with INSERT+SPACEBAR, 
S, but what if you only use Braille and, even when you work with no speech or 
have speech muted temporarily, you want to mute also other computer sounds? I 
think it would be better if this would be a setting in the Basic Settings 
dialog box and JAWS Startup Wizard instead of a mandatory action from witting 
any call to the RefreshScreen script.
These imposed automatic adjustments makes me a bit angry, for example the fact 
that I can't lower the JAWS volume in Volume Mixer less than 20% because it is 
reset automatically to 100% when I try to continue down to 19, 18 or the value 
I want.

Re: [JAWS-Users] turning off sounds in word, outlook etc.

[Fernando Gregoire]

Hi,

Both Mike and Cristóbal suggestions are right.
In the nearby past, the Provide Feedback with Sound settings was available in 
Advanced Options (General tab in Office 2003 and earlier) and required an 
add-in to work, which is freely available from the Microsoft Download Center.
In this old way of implementing sounds in Office programs, the add-in creates a 
sub-folder in the Media folder containing various Office sounds and adds a 
Microsoft Office branch to the System Sound Events in the Sounds tab of the 
Sound dialog in Control Panel. By the way, you can mute individual sounds or 
change them with any wav file you want.

In a not too far in time update to Office 2016, Microsoft made some significant 
changes to this approach used since Office 97.
Concerning the checkbox location, they moved it to a new Options category named 
Ease of Access, together with some other settings like Provide Feedback with 
Animations. Now there's no need to download and install the add-in.
Other change, and the more significant one, is related to the sound 
assignments. While the old add-in allowed you to change individual sounds in 
Control Panel, the new implementation doesn't add anything there. Instead, 
there is now a combo box next to the Provide Feedback with Sound checkbox when 
it is checked, in which you can choose between Classic (which is the old Office 
default sound scheme, as the name says) or Modern. In general, sounds of the 
Modern scheme are quieter than the older ones. I feel more comfortable with the 
Classic scheme.

In a few words, both Mike and Cristóbal answers are correct. Exact location of 
the Provide Feedback with Sound checkbox and possibility to mute individual 
sounds will depend on how up to date is your Office 2016 installation; Office 
97 through 2013 will always use the old add-in based implementation, with 
checkbox on General tab or Advanced category and allowing to change or mute 
individual sounds through Control Panel.

Hope it helps!

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws and conversations

[Fernando Gregoire]

Hi Teresa,

Congratulations for your new job.
If your only concern is other people listening your JAWS via Skype or other 
VoIP programs, nobody via these programs will hear your JAWS if you are hearing 
it from the headsets.
If your particular headsets are recognized in Windows as another sound cards 
which is not set as the default one, you can send JAWS output to the headsets 
by going to the JAWS menu or window (INSERT+J), Utilities, Sound Cards and 
there selecting the item corresponding to the headsets.

Hope it helps!

Re: [JAWS-Users] searching for coloured text in Microsoft Word

[Fernando Gregoire]

Hi Geoff,

In versions prior to 2010 this was done by pressing CTRL+F.
In Word 2010 and latter CTRL+F opens the Navigation Pane which only offer a 
basic searching capability, so you have to use the Advanced Search item located 
on the Edit group of the Home tab in the ribbon to get to the old dialog. If 
you need this frequently, you may find useful to add this to the Quick Access 
Toolbar or create keyboard shortcuts, either an additional one for Advanced 
Search or by editing CTRL+F to activate Advanced Search instead of the 
Navigation Pane.

Hope it helps!

Re: [JAWS-Users] Office 2010 vs. 2016 vs. 365

[Fernando Gregoire]

Hi Reveca,

I use Office 2016 on all of my computers.
Ultimately Microsoft is making a lot of accessibility improvements and even 
step-by-step tutorials on how to accomplish specific tasks by using a screen 
reader that are based in Office 2016 programs running together with JAWS or the 
Windows 10 Narrator.
Besides accessibility, it only makes sense to upgrade to Office 2016 if you 
often work with files stored in cloud services like OneDrive and/or need to 
edit or copy data from PDF files to Word documents and, although it is less 
common from witting Word, if you use Word to read books, because Office 2013 
introduced the capability to resume reading from where you left.
I personally found upgrading useful, because the support for saving files to 
OneDrive from witting Office programs and have recently used documents 
synchronized is drastically enhanced over the limited and unstable support 
available for this in Office 2010.
If you use Outlook as your e-mail client, it is easier to attach recently used 
files of any type without having to search in the folder structure, since 
Outlook 2016 by defaults shows a list of the last files used, which in Windows 
10 is consistent with the Quick Access folder in File Explorer.

Of course there are more specific things you may find useful or not depending 
on programs you use and the purposes you use these for, but I think the ones I 
mentioned are the most notable additions regarding daily use for a home user.

Not that we're speaking about Office 2016, how well does the new Word feature 
that provides writing suggestions besides traditional spelling and grammar that 
was introduced some time ago in Office 365 works? It is not available for 
Spanish yet and I'm not a native English speaker, so I can't accurately judge 
suggestions quality myself.

Hope it helps!

Re: [JAWS-Users] Office 2010 vs. 2016 vs. 365

[Fernando Gregoire]

Hi Adrian,

What is JAWS saying when you press INSERT+C when checking for spelling errors? 
I have Office 2016 in two different Windows 10 machines and, even when spell 
checker in Word is now a task pane instead of a dialog, command for 
ReadWordInContext works fine. Moreover, compared to prior versions, in case of 
grammatical errors JAWS displays the explanation and examples in the Virtual 
Viewer, making it easier to review this information which in the past required 
to open an additional help-style window or have the Office Assistant loaded.
Regarding not being able to go to the folder three view in Outlook, SHIFT+F6 
still works the same as in prior versions. I used to it quickly, because since 
Office 2007 it is not rare to use F6 in order to focus the status bar.

Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Office 2010 vs. 2016 vs. 365

Hi, Rebecca. I've been using Office 2016 for only two weeks. So far, I find no 
advantages over 2010. I have been meaning to try out certain features. For 
example, I believe 2016 handles PDF files, but I haven't looked into it so far. 
After all, PDF files have become increasingly accessible, especially with JAWS 
2018. Otherwise, 2016 doesn't act as smoothly for me as 2010 did. 

for example, often when I press the down arrow key, all I hear is the first 
letter of that next line rather than the whole line. All I need do is go back 
up and back down again, but it's an extra step and a distraction. 

In spell-check, "word in context" is no longer available. It's easy enough to 
escape out of spell-check and do a "say line" command, but I do miss that 
option.

In Outlook 2016, you need to press control-y to go to the folders list. 
Shift-tab no longer works. Of course, this is just a question of forming a new 
habit, and you may already use control-y as your default.

Outlook 2016 takes a long time to open. I do have a lot of folders and 
messages, but it seems to take much longer than it did in 2010.

There's a  trick to setting up Word 2016 so that you can open files from your 
chosen directory. I would gladly check my notes to explain if the time came.

One last curiosity. When I do a search-and-replace in Word 2016, I'm told: "All 
done. We made X replacements." Who is "we"? Microsoft? Of course, it isn't 
literally MS looking over my shoulder, just a way they've chosen to confirm an 
operation, but it's a little creepy. 

So far the only reason I can see for upgrading to 2016 is to keep up with 
technological changes. I had hoped it would overcome certain unrelated problems 
I've been having, such as with Windows updates, but those problems turn out to 
be exactly what I said: unrelated. Well, if you do a lot of work on documents 
with other people, it looks like 2016 has some useful features.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Making a keyboard shortcut for restarting JAWS

[Fernando Gregoire]

Hi Matthew,

As other told you, JAWS keystroke to restart it in case of a crash in which 
JAWS processes are still loaded is JAWS+WINDOWS+F4.
However, I suspect that your problem may be related to the audio playback 
device.
You said that you connect a radio station or similar when JAWS speech feedback 
goes out, so I suggest to check in the Utilities menu of JAWS's window 
(INSERT+J, then ALT+U) which sound card is selected in the Sound Cards sub menu 
to route JAWS speech output.
As an example, I have an old micro-component which can be connected via USB to 
get computer audio there. The problem is that most recent drivers available are 
not fully compatible in Windows versions newer than XP and not supported at all 
on any 64-bit Windows version. Since I have to simulate a driver update from 
witting Device manager each time I connect the micro-component because generic 
USB Composite Device as installed by Windows doesn't work with it but even so 
the main audio controller appears to be working properly, I had to configure 
JAWS to always send speech output to the computer's built-in speakers 
regardless of the Windows default playback device set in Sounds Control Panel 
applet. If I don't configure JAWS in this way, I lost speech until I manage to 
simulate the driver update, configure JAWS to send the output to the computer's 
built-in speaker or unplug the micro-component.

Hope it helps!

Hi, Folks.  I'm one of those former Window-Eyes users who went kicking and 
screaming over to JAWS.  All that said, I only just yesterday started using 
JAWS for the first time.

Anyway, my question is:  Is there a keyboard shortcut for restarting JAWS if it 
and some other software don't play nice together?  I'm asking because I'm an 
amateur radio operator (ham) and use an interface with a radio that when 
plugged into my PC, takes all the sound away, including JAWS.  At that point, I 
need to restart JAWS, but see no keyboard shortcut to do this.  Thoughts?  
Thanks in advance.--Matthew Chao

Re: [JAWS-Users] returning to Jaws version 16

[Fernando Gregoire]

There should be no issues, unless you have customized the default script file 
in JAWS 2018 or changed the symbols file for Eloquence and you want to copy 
these customizations from JAWS 2018 to 16. This is because the default script 
file is not compatible between versions if you have directly modified it, and 
regarding punctuation/symbols spoken by Eloquence JAWS 17 started to use 
hexadecimal language codes instead of internal Eloquence language names (e.g. 
0x409 instead of American English), so punctuation customizations won't be 
detected by JAWS 16 if you don't replace language codes by internal names 
manually using Notepad or any other text editor.
The other customizations can usually be copied to a previous version with no 
problem.

Hope it helps!

Re: [JAWS-Users] Researcher

[Fernando Gregoire]

Hi Holger,

I understand your problem. For some reason, you're getting stuck after you 
press ENTER on the dialog to type the phrase to search and/or choose a module.
To see if you are having a problem with Results Viewer infrastructure besides 
Internet access to the different services, I suggest you to open the Speech 
History by pressing INSERT+SPACEBAR and the letter h. If this feature doesn't 
work, you are having a problem related to Internet Explorer, because Results 
Viewer uses IE components in the background. If this works fine, your problem 
is related to a firewall (or other security tool, either hardware or software) 
that's preventing JAWS from making outcoming connections to the Internet.
Checking this will allow us to give specific procedures.

Hope it clarifies something.

Even when the way of some replies perhaps was unfortunate, your lack of

One time I uninstalled Internet Explorer and I was unable to use this feature 
at all because the Results Viewer depended on IE, but this issue is not similar 
to things like a specific lookup module not returning results, the 
WINDOWS+INSERT+R keystroke querying on a different module than the one you most 
often use, keystrokes for Research It activating other unrelated scripts, etc.
So, without getting angry, it would be nice you give more information on what's

Hi Cher,

Google Chrome is the browser you download from Google's website and many

In the JAWS Chrome script files there is the difference between Chrome and

Re: [JAWS-Users] Researcher

[Fernando Gregoire]

Hi Holger,

Even when the way of some replies perhaps was unfortunate, your lack of 
explanation does not allow us to give an useful response.
One time I uninstalled Internet Explorer and I was unable to use this feature 
at all because the Results Viewer depended on IE, but this issue is not similar 
to things like a specific lookup module not returning results, the 
WINDOWS+INSERT+R keystroke querying on a different module than the one you most 
often use, keystrokes for Research It activating other unrelated scripts, etc.
So, without getting angry, it would be nice you give more information on what's 
happening.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Opening multiple attachments in MS Word

[Fernando Gregoire]

Hi Wayne,

I assume you're using Outlook as your e-mail client.
If so, you can't open many attachments at the same time, but you can save all 
or many of them simultaneously. To do this, press ALT+F to go to the Office 
button or the File menu, depending on if you are in the main window or the 
message one. In the menu, go to Save Attachments option.
In the dialog which opens, you can select the files you want to save and 
specify the folder where you want to save them.
Once the files are saved, you can open the folder either from Windows Explorer 
or Word's Open dialog and select the files to open simultaneously.

Hope it helps!

Re: [JAWS-Users] Using a web site provided text formatter.

[Fernando Gregoire]

Hi Adrian,

Yes, I assume that Judy selected the desired text before trying to make it a 
link.
Regarding CTRL+Z, it is probably a typo, since CTRL+Z is for Undo.
Trying Pass Key Through (JAWS+3) is a good idea. Since she's using IE, she 
should press this JAWS command, then ALT+L, then this JAWS command again and 
finally ENTER.
Additionally, Judy could also try changing, at least temporarily, the Link 
Activation option in Quick Settings. This option defines wetter JAWS simulates 
a left mouse click on the link or a pressing of the ENTER key on it; by default 
JAWS simulates a left mouse click, but FS recommends testing the other 
alternative in case the user has problems activating links in a website.
If this solves the problem, Judy could change this in the Personalized Web 
Settings branch, specifically for the problematic website.

Some thoughts:

First, Fernando, shouldn't Judy select the text and only then press control-z 
to turn off the virtual cursor, then alt-l or shift-alt-l?

How about pressing the JAWS pass-through key, JAWS key+3 on the number row 
above the letters, before pressing either alt-l or shift-alt-l?

I used to experience this same problem with WordPress. In that case, Jonathan 
Mosen suggested trying shift-alt-a. that key combination is probably specific 
to WordPress, but maybe not.

WordPress solved this problem in the past year or so by enabling just about all 
formatting in Word, including links, to carry through to the WordPress website. 
Judy, you might ask this website's people if they're working on a similar 
solution.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Using a web site provided text formatter.

Hi Judy,

The keystrokes starting with alt in web pages may require you also press SHIFT. 
For example, a link which has access key b is activated in IE by pressing ALT+B 
and then ENTER, ALT+B in Chrome and ALT+SHIFT+B in Firefox. BTW, try pressing 
ALT+SHIFT+L to see if that works.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Using a web site provided text formatter.

Hello again,

 

I am a new author with www.textbroker.com.

 

I have successfully submitted material, but have some beginner-type questions.

 

When submitting the text of the article, there is a text box for the body of 
the article.  All well and good.

 

When composing the original document in Word, after copy-pasting that Word doc 
with all its attributes, such as bold, italics, hyperlinks, etc. those 
attributes do not transfer over in to the site's text field.

 

To solve this, the site has provided links for adding those attributes back in 
above the text box/edit field for the text body.  However, I am unable to get 
those to work, don't know how to access them without getting out of the text 
field.

 

For instance, when wanting to attach a hyperlink to the words Outdoor Fun, 
doing the traditional control-K in Word actually opens a new Textbroker page.

 

However, I am asking if there is a way to actually use the link for hyperlink 
provided by Textbroker.  You are supposed to be able to highlight your text, 
then go up to the link to activate the hyperlink in the document, but does not 
work, since I am out of the edit field.  The formatter link even gives ashort 
cut key of Alt-L, which I have tried, but does not work either.  Note that the 
control-B does work for Bold, and I believe the control-U key will work too.

 

If this problem is too confusing, let me know and will try to rephrase.

 

Thanks as always.

 

Judy

Re: [JAWS-Users] how do I attach a document to an email in Outlook 2016

[Fernando Gregoire]

Another method to attach files witting File Explorer, although it only works in 
Windows 8 or latter, is to add the E-mail button of the Share tab to the Quick 
Access Toolbar.
This toolbar comes by default with some commands like Properties and Delete, 
but since you can access them with keyboard shortcuts non-dependant of this 
toolbar, I removed them from there and I added two commands: the Copy As Path 
option and the E-mail button. By the way, after I select the file(s) I want to 
attach, I can press ALT+2 to quickly open a new message with the file(s) 
attached.
Of course, for this to work, Outlook must be set as your default e-mail program.

Hi Mariam,

There are many ways to attach a file to an e-mail message.  Here is one of my 
favorite methods.

Open Windows Explorer with Windows Key+e.

Navigate to the file you want to attach.  If you want to attach multiple files 
from the same folder, navigate to the first file, hold down the Control key, 
press the down arrow until you get to the next file you want and then press the 
Space bar while still holding down the Control key.
Continue holding down the control key and using the down arrow and Space bar 
until all files are selected.

Use the copy command Control+c.

Go to your outlook Inbox.  Do not open any files.
Use the Control+v paste command.

Like magic a new message will open, the file(s) will be attached and you should 
be in the To field.

HTH,
Annette

Unless you need to make additional adjustments like an infotip or the target

type in or paste the URL, press ALT+X (or whichever keystroke used in English), 
type in the text to display, SHIFT+TAB twice to the OK button and press ENTER.

Hope you find it helpful!

Hello Judy,

If you are inserting a link to a web page, I have found it better to use the 
JAWS cursor in the Insert Hyperlink dialog box.  Here are the steps you might 
want to try:

In the Word document where you want the words that people see, start by using 
CTRL with K.
Type in the web address for the link's destination.
I suggest that you don't tab through the dialog box using the PC cursor as 
things can get messed up.  
After typing in the web address route JAWS to PC.
With JAWS cursor active do a page up.
Arrow down once to the line with "link to" and "text to display.  
Press home key and then use JAWS key with right arrow key until you find the 
address just past the words "text to display."
Simulate a left mouse button click to bring focus there. 
Put on PC cursor, select the text in the field and overwrite the text with the 
words you want used.  
Route JAWS to PC again, do a page down and find the OK button.  
Do a simulated left mouse button click on the OK button.

You should be able to test it.  If your document is saved move on to the line 
with the link, use application key and choose to open hyperlink.  

Take care.
