Hi Dave, you are wrong, I never said a blind person must use the Jaws virtual 
ribbons. They can use them or not use them, this is a personal choice. However, 
in my opinion, I think they would benefit, from using the Jaws virtual ribbons. 
You are the only person being dogmatic about not using the Jaws virtual 
ribbons. Let all members try using or not using the Jaws virtual ribbons for 
themselves. Quit putting words in my mouth. I said, in my humble opinion, I 
think new Jaws users would benefit from using the Jaws virtual ribbons and its 
simple layout, in all the office 365 products. So, seems to be your way or the 
highway. Why don't you give the virtual ribbons a try yourself? Smiles.

Rose,

Agree completely. It's fine for folks to tell of their experience with a 
particular feature, but to insist that a particular method is best for a blind 
person seems to be dogmatic.

I am not sighted either, however, not being able to avail myself of
frequently used shortcut keys I have known since Word 97 is the reason I
turn off or never turn on this Jaws Feature.  Your mileage may vary which is
why I suggest anyone interested try each and do what feels best to them.
For newbies they are probably just made to order, but for me and many like
me, not having the ability to use key commands we have used from Word 97
forward is a definite disadvantage.

Individuals need to make informed choices and choose options to their
tastes, to tell them they must use something or cannot use something else
when Jaws has so many options seems counterproductive.  I turn off keyboard
echo when typing, have for years, and using Word echo drives me crazy also
but I'd never tell anyone out there they needed to work the same way I work.
I am totally annoyed with a new version of Jaws when it is set at defaults
to hear space every time I space, it is one of the first keys I mute even if
I switch the keyboard echo off.  However, I hate hearing the space, and I
turn off echo because it does not keep up with my typing speed but I'd never
tell any of you to work the same way I work.

Same goes for the ribbons issues, try working both ways if interested and
decide which works for you, not your mate, not your coworker but for you.

Yes, I guess that explains why you don't use the Jaws virtual ribbons. I can
see where you were trying to interact with the sited computer users where
you worked. That's fine and understandable. But what I am trying to
patiently say is, for a blind computer user of Jaws, in a home or work
environment, I believe it is more efficient to use the Jaws virtual ribbons
and the new tell me feature in the office 365 subscription. The office 2016
products work well with Jaws 18 using the virtual ribbons. As a blind
computer user, why not take advantage of the Jaws virtual ribbons feature? I
am not sited, so why should I put to my memory, all the various office
shortcut keystrokes for using word, outlook, and excel 2016. This sounds
like a lot of extra work, that a blind user of office should not have to add
to the learning of how to use W-10 with Jaws. I did try that method for a
few years, but I did not like it. No hard feelings, we are just having a
friendly discussion on whether to use the
  Jaws virtual ribbons or not. No shame in using the Jaws virtual ribbons.
Just call me lazy, only so much room in this Pinhead of mine! LOL. No, I
don't believe the moderators will get upset, if we keep this topic as a
friendly discussion. I think it will benefit the group. Let me say, I meant
no disrespect to your views on not using the virtual ribbons in Jaws. So,
thanks and smiles for your friendly discussion on this topic.

Hi, Jim.

The reason I don't try the JAWS virtual ribbon is the one I gave you before. To 
quote that part of my post: This is one area, however, where I believe JAWS 
users have both a practical and philosophical choice to make, and new users 
need to know that this choice exists. I quickly became comfortable with the MS 
ribbons, as others on this list have. If they were too difficult, then I, too, 
would use the virtual ribbon. But since we have a true choice here, the 
question becomes whether I choose a method everyone else in the world uses or 
the one that only a few can.

I'll elaborate. I used to supervise a consumer protection mediation program 
where all my staff was sighted. As many middle-age people find, college 
students handle technology much more naturally than I did. If I had a problem 
using MS Word or some other application, one or other of my student interns 
would have an answer for me right away. If I'd been using the JAWS virtual 
ribbon, they could have given me no help. Besides, there were times when I knew 
how to solve a Word or other tech problem that no one else did, which helped 
ensure that I kept interacting with my staff on an even playing field. If I'd 
been using the JAWS virtual cursor, I would have been out of that loop.

So what I mean by a "philosophical" choice is that I chose interaction with the 
sighted world over the seemingly simpler JAWS virtual ribbon. As I wrote 
before, I would have used the JAWS virtual ribbon if the MS ribbons had been 
inaccessible, but they're extremely easy to use, thanks in large part to 
shortcuts, the applications key and the key tips. 

I hope this answers your question once and for all. I don't want to test our 
moderators' patience over a non-technical JAWS question.

Hi, Laura.

Rose previously posted a message that was critical of the JAWS virtual ribbon 
that I agree with. For one thing, it prevents you from using familiar 
shortcuts. In a bigger picture sense that might or might not matter to you, 
avoiding the regular Microsoft ribbon will make it more difficult to get 
sighted assistance, since they won't know anything about the JAWS virtual 
ribbon. For this and other reasons, I prefer to use the MS ribbons.

Each of us has a different way of learning the MS ribbons. Whenever possible, I 
will use a shortcut instead of delving into the ribbon. For example, I'll press 
control-d to get to the font dialog rather than go hunting for it in the 
ribbon. 

Another way of getting around the ribbons is to use the applications key, 
between the right Windows and control keys on most keyboards. This is where I 
go for the dialog that takes you through line-spacing, margins, etc. 

But then there are the times when you must use the ribbon. Here, you may find 
yourself remembering what are called key tips. For example, when I want to 
place the page number at a certain point on a page (top left, top middle, 
etc.), I press the following keys: alt+n together for "insert," and then n, u 
in quick succession. I'm immediately in the right dialog. 

When you explore the MS ribbons, listen carefully for these key tips. I find 
they aren't always easy to hear, but usually I can make them out. The example I 
just gave will be verbalized when you go through the "insert" part of the 
ribbon.

I'm not pretending to give you an exhaustive explanation of the MS ribbons, but 
I hope it might help you think about how to approach them. Shortcuts, 
applications key, key tips, in that order of simplicity. When I first faced the 
MS ribbons, I was intimidated. I shouldn't have been. Just learn what you need 
as the need arises. And never hesitate to post questions here.

Hello,

 

When it comes to navigating MS Word ribbons I'm pretty much a beginner.
I've memorized certain shortcut keys to do very specific things but need to 
learn how to navigate these ribbons.

 

Right now virtual ribbons are turned on .. Would it be easier and more 
efficient to learn the ribbons if I turned this off?  I want and need to learn 
as much as I can so any feedback and suggestions are greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance,

Laura

I've followed this thread for awhile and I'm wondering why people don't just 
try it both ways and see what works best for them.

Some people, for whatever reason, age, time, ability to learn new things, etc., 
have trouble learning new things.

Others, however, learn quickly and love the challenge of learning anything and 
everything that is released in the latest technology, no matter what it is.

For me, I love trying new things but I don't always have the time right away 
and simply put it off until I do have the time. My mom, who is in her 80's, 
won't even touch a computer, while my neighbor, in her 90's, takes on the 
challenge of just about anything.

That makes sense to me. As far as I understand the functioning of the virtual 
ribbons, too (someone correct me though if I am wrong), JAWS may not be keeping 
up with the frequent Windows 10 updates, so there's a chance you could actually 
lose functionality or miss out on features if you use these.

I was curious about that. However I launched Word and then tried the keystroke. 
It said "collapsed" and then when pressed again, said "expanded".
In either case, the virtual ribbon did not appear. Since I have mine disabled 
in the settings center, this might have an effect. Perhaps this
Ctrl+F1 keystroke is meaningful if the virtual ribbon is enabled?

Control+F1 turns the virtual ribbon on and off. That's what my notes say.
I've never done it.

I would turn off the virtual ribbon. It is handy, but you become dependent on 
them and they don't work as well as the original menus, since they don't use 
first-letter navigation. I tried them briefly years ago and decided to buckle 
down and just learn to use the ribbons.

Hello,



When it comes to navigating MS Word ribbons I'm pretty much a beginner.
I've memorized certain shortcut keys to do very specific things but need to 
learn how to navigate these ribbons.



Right now virtual ribbons are turned on .. Would it be easier and more 
efficient to learn the ribbons if I turned this off?  I want and need to learn 
as much as I can so any feedback and suggestions are greatly 

[JAWS-Users] Thanks to a member for using the Taskbar in W-10 with Jaws

[Jim Flusche]

Hi group, I want to thank David Bailes, for reminding me about using first 
letter navigation in the taskbar of W-10 with Jaws, in his taskbar 10 guide. 
After pressing Windows key+T, just press the first letter of any pinned item to 
the taskbar to quickly jump to that item on the taskbar, and just press enter 
to open that taskbar item. I appreciate the time it took you David to write 
this guide. Thanks for reminding me about using first letter navigation with 
Jaws on the taskbar in W-10. God bless and smiles.


Your humble Pinhead!
Owner of the Windows 10 and Jaws group!

No, Jim is not wrong. LOL. I have just given my humble opinion on why we should 
use the virtual ribbons with Jaws just like all other members have given their 
opinions on why not to use the virtual ribbons. Also, I have given good 
directions on how to use the word 2016 ribbons with the Jaws virtual ribbons 
activated. Why make myself remember a hundred special keystrokes for word 2016, 
when VFO gives us the ability to use the virtual ribbons with Jaws 18. Oh, how 
this makes life much easier with using Word, outlook, and excel. Again, I am 
not demanding from anyone that they must do it this way. Each of us can decide 
for ourselves weather we use the Jaws virtual ribbons or not. So please do not 
single me out and say my opinion is wrong over another member opinion. We are 
all entitled to give our own opinions out on this group unless things have 
changed that I am not aware of. Just my two cents worth. Smiles.

Hi Dave, I am sure we have all been wrong more than one time on any group. Just 
because you quit using the jaws virtual ribbons years ago, does not mean others 
cannot try them out for themselves. LOL. Yes, we are all entitled to give out 
our own opinions on the best ways of Using Jaws. Now if I am wrong about this 
may David F. correct me. But I think this is correct and OK for all of us to

easiest and simplest ways to use W-10 with Jaws. Thanks, and Smiles. Again, 
just my two cents worth, do whatever your heart desires.

[JAWS-Users] Using Word 2016 with Jaws

[Jim Flusche]

Hi Jaws users group. The following lesson for Using Word 2016 with Jaws 
includes the directions for how to use the Jaws virtual ribbons in word 2016, I 
hope this helps all of you.
Using Word 2016 with Jaws
This is a text tutorial, provided freely by The W-10 and Jaws group, anyone may 
freely share this file.
Author: Jim Flusche

This lesson is now updated to the W-10 Creators update.
**This lesson is on, Using Word 2016 with Jaws 18.
Some things have now changed in the Word 2016 options.
*For example, Office 365 now supports the use of office sounds in the office 
products.
If you wish to turn on the office sounds in your office 365 subscription, do 
the following.
1. Open word 2016.
2. Either press Enter on the blank document button, or press the Escape key to 
open a blank document, or if you are not using the Word start screen, you are 
already placed in a blank document.
*Tip, using Jaws, you may need to tab and shift+Tab again to see the blank 
document button on the start screen of Word 2016.
3. Press ALT+F, followed by pressing the letter T, opens word options.
4. Down arrow and highlight Ease of Access.
5. Tab to, Provide feedback with sound checkbox, press the Spacebar to check.
6. Tab again to, Provide feedback with animation check box not checked, if you 
have some site, you may still leave this checked I believe.
7. Tab to the OK button, press Enter.
8. You will now have office sounds for Word, Outlook, Excel and other Microsoft 
products.
*Tip, You will also see under the Ease of Access, Show the Start screen when 
this application starts check box checked, press the Spacebar to uncheck this 
if you do not wish to see the start screen when you open word 2016.
*Tip, when you first open word 2016 using the Start screen, just tab one time 
to see a list of all your word documents.
*Tip, if you decide not to use the Start screen, you will already be in a blank 
document.

*After pressing Enter on the Word 2016 icon, you land on a Start screen page.
*You will hear such items, as the following items as you use all four of the 
ArrowKeys on the new Start Screen in Word 2016, which is a grid.
Single spaced (blank) Button
Pin status: unpinned.
Crisp and clean resume, designed by MOO Button
Pin status: unpinned.
Polished cover letter, designed by MOO Button
Pin status: unpinned.
Spec design (blank) Button
Pin status: unpinned.
APA style report (6th edition) Button
Pin status: unpinned.
Event menu Button
Pin status: unpinned.
Personal letterhead Button
Pin status: unpinned.
Thank you cards Button
Pin status: unpinned.
Summer event flyer Button
Pin status: unpinned.
Blank document Button
Welcome to Word Button
Pin status: pinned.
**To open a blank document from the Start screen, press the Escape key.
**Or you can just press Enter, on the Blank document Button.
**On the Start screen, You can also Tab one time to see all your recent 
documents, use the Up and Down arrow keys to highlight a document, press Enter 
to open that selected document.
*Tip, you must check this checkbox in recent documents in word options first.
Check the following settings in Word 2016 options.
Press ALT+F, for file menu, followed by the letter T, for Word 2016 options.
Down arrow to the Advanced Tab, Tab many times to the following setting.
Show this number of Recent Documents edit spin box, 50.
Tab again to, Quickly access this number of Recent Documents check box checked.
Use the arrow key to change the numberr of recent documents Spin box, to show 
more or less items, and make sure the quickly access this number of recent 
documents check box is checked.
Tab to the OK button, press Enter.
Now the next time you open Word 2016, just Tab one time to the list of your 
recent documents.
**Press the Applications key on a selected document in your recent document 
list, you have many options, such as, pin the document, remove the document 
from the list, and other options.
*Tip, you can turn off this Start screen in the Word 2016 options page, under 
General options, or you can turn the start screen on/off now in Ease of Access.
To do this, press ALT+F, followed by the letter T.
Jaws incorrectly lands on Display the second item below General options, press 
the UpArrow one time to highlight General options.
Tab many times to, Show the Start screen when Word 2016 opens, this is a 
checkbox, if it is checked, the Start screen will show up when you open Word 
2016.
This Start screen is a cool new feature, to look at a lot of options for 
opening different documents formats.
If you find an item you like, you can pin that item to a list here on the Start 
screen, of Word 2016.
For example:
1. I highlighted, Single space blank button.
2. I pressed the Applications key.
3. I arrowed down to, Pin to list, press Enter.
**So now when I open Word 2016, using the Start screen.
I can just press Enter on, the Blank document Button, which is already 
highlighted, with Jaws you may need to press  Taband shift+tab  to highlight 
the blank document

Re: [JAWS-Users] Learning MS ribbons - virtual or not ......

[Jim Flusche]

I disagree, I would not tell new Jaws users to turn off the virtual ribbons in 
the jaws settings. You said you have not used them for years. Using the Jaws 
virtual ribbons makes the task of using the ribbons for word and outlook 2016 
so much easier. Also, the addition of the tell me feature, also helps to find 
what you are looking for much easier.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Learning MS ribbons - virtual or not ......

[Jim Flusche]

Hi Laura, you did not say what version of word you are using. Yes, you should 
use the use virtual ribbons setting in Jaws. This makes getting around the

Re: [JAWS-Users] getting office sounds for office 365

[Jim Flusche]

May be the old standalone office sounds is blocking the new included office 
sounds from working in office 365. Give Microsoft support a phone call to make 
sure of the correct steps to take to resolve this issue. I am sure the answer 
is simple. Because you do see the Ease of Access options in word 2016, you 
should be getting the office sounds. So, give them a call for help with this 
issue. Smiles.

Hi Jim,

Unfortunately, these Microsoft instructions aren't working for me as right as 
it should.
I have both 32 and 64-bit Office versions on different machines, and both were 
running the old Office Sounds add-in which users had to download and install 
manually.
While in 32-bit the update worked fine when it rolled to me, it is not the case 
on 64-bit, where sounds simply stopped working. Although I now have the Ease of 
Access options category on 64-bit and the Provide Feedback with Sound option 
which previously was in Advanced, the sounds simply don't work, and there's no 
combobox to choose a sound scheme. Office sound events in Windows Sounds 
Control Panel applet still remain, but they don't produce any sound.
Should I remove the add-in and run an Office online repair, or do you think 
there's a better alternative to test first?

Thanks in advance!

Re: [JAWS-Users] One Drive

[Jim Flusche]

Hi Tom, these instructions should work the same way for W-7.
How to set up and use the OneDrive back up for yourself and how to share a 
folder with others.
*for windows 10, Open your personal folder link under the start area if you 
have it set up that way, go down to OneDrive, press enter.
*do this in Windows 7: Or, type OneDrive into the search edit box, press enter 
on OneDrive desktop app.
Or, if OneDrive is on your Taskbar, press enter on it there, or press  its 
shortcut keystroke windows key+the number of its order on the Taskbar.
*do this in windows 10, Or, press the windows key, up or down arrow to, All 
apps, press enter.
Press the letter O, down arrow to one drive, press the enter key, press enter 
on OneDrive.
Now you will be in a list of default OneDrive folders, that you can use, or you 
can create your own folders in OneDrive.
In this example, I will create my own folder under the main default folder list 
of OneDrive.
While you are in the list of default folders under the main OneDrive folder 
list.
1. Press Control+shift+N, for new folder.
2. In this example, I will type the name, "Jaws users", then press enter to 
create this new folder.
3. Copy the files or folders you wish to back-up, and paste them into this new 
Jaws Users folder.
Do the same thing if you wish to share this folder with others by a OneDrive 
link , copy and paste any files into this new folder to share them with others.
Now we need to sink our OneDrive folders if you wish too, you do not have to 
sink your OneDrive folders if you do not want too.
4. Highlight the new folder, in my case, Jaws users, do not press enter.
5. Press the applications key, down arrow to, Choose OneDrive folders to sink, 
press enter.
6. Now, you can choose a check-box to sink all folders.
Or, uncheck this, tab to the list view of folders, only check the folders you 
wish to sink to your computer by pressing the Spacebar on each folder.
After checking all the folders you wish to sink, tab to OK, press enter.
Now, How to share this new OneDrive folder and its contents, with others 
through a OneDrive link.
7. Now, highlight your new folder, in my case, Jaws users, do not press enter.
8. Press the Applications key, go down to, Share a OneDrive link, press enter.
By pressing Enter, This automatically pastes, a OneDrive link to this folder, 
that you can share with others, into the clipboard.
9. Now, open an email to the person you wish to give access to this OneDrive 
folder and all its content, in my case the Jaws users list.
10. Paste the OneDrive link into the email, this will give that person a link 
to access the folder you are sharing with them.
What does it mean to sink your OneDrive folders?
When you choose to sink your OneDrive folders on your computer.
You have a mirror copy of these files online, on your OneDrive page.
You also place a mirror copy of these files in your OneDrive folder on your 
computer.
Now, the advantage of doing it this way is:
When you are inside the OneDrive folder and inside a text file in one of your 
shared folders, for example.
Whatever changes you make to that text document on your computer, are 
automatically changed in the text document stored in OneDrive on line.
Can I use the default folders of OneDrive, to place my audio or text files into 
for back up, or for sharing with others?
Yes, you can use them the same way, as I explained above.
OneDrive is a cool and easy way, to share large audio or text files with others.
Microsoft gives each person a free 5 GB's of storage space on OneDrive.
*Tip, when you sink folders, you are taking up room in your OneDrive folder, 
what ever the size of the one drive folder on line is also taking up room on 
your C: drive as a mirror copy.
I am currently sharing two OneDrive links to two different folders on my 
OneDrive on my computer, with no issues.

Hello, everyone.

 

I am looking for an easy-to-use program with which I can share files that are 
too large to send to people via normal e-mail.

 

I have had some very limited success with Dropbox, but someone has just 
suggested that I try One Drive, which I should have access to since I purchase 
an annual subscription to the Microsoft Office 365 suite of products.

 

Does anyone have some Jaws-friendly instructions for locating, and setting up 
one-drive, as well as  for easily transferring files to another person using 
that program?

 

Thank you!

Jim,

You will be in my prayers. I do believe that God, being our Creator, can do 
miracles. Hold tightly to His Hand.
I'd like to share something I read this evening, which ministered to me. 
Hope it will to you, too.

Looking to the Lord

As for me, I look to the LORD for help. I wait confidently for God to save me.

and destroy but like I always say, one of these days I will have the last laugh.

Just pin Jaws to the taskbar, press the windows key+ the number row number in 
order that Jaws is pinned to the taskbar. For example on my computer, pressing 
Windows key+8, starts Jaws 18 every time. Smiles. I desire all your prayers 
here on the Jaws users list. My bladder cancer has come back. I will find out 
more on Wednesday of this week. So please remember me. God bless and smiles.

Hi Miriam,
Do you have the shortcut setup for your Jaws? Here are the steps to do that.
1. Press windows + M to go to your desktop.
2. Press the letter J until you hear Jaws 18.
3. Press the application key and arrow up one time and press enter on 
properties.
4. Tab two  times and you should hear short cut key. If it says none then press 
the letter J
  If it says shortcut key ctrl+alt+J then just press the escape key.
6. Now tab until you hear ok, then press enter. Another dialog box may come up 
just press yes or continue then you should be done.

Now you should have a shortcut key so when you press ctrl+alt+J it should start 
Jaws. Now if you use the other hotkey that now should work.
Mr. Ed

Yes, that is the question. I have heard it's a w-10 creators update issue, and 
I have also heard it's a Jaws issue. So take your choice. Smiles.

Hi Rick, thank you, yes, that's  all I was saying. With so many computer 
models, with so many various programs installed on all of our computers. Each 
person will have a different experience with the performance of Jaws. I was 
just giving a positive report on my setup, so others would know. Thanks and 
smiles.

Hi All,
Please remember that simply because we are running the same Windows version, 
the same JAWS version and the same application does not mean that our computers 
are in any way identical. Over time, all kinds of junk can get installed that 
we are not aware of, lots of pieces of applications run in the background and 
unless we look at those, we don't know they are running. All of that makes it a 
challenge for tech support staff to figure out solutions. Lots of us have 
commented on JAWS going silent, most of us have stated what we have had to do 
to get the little guy talking again. Jim's statement was not meant to say that 
others of us were crazy or incompetent. His report was just one more bit of 
evidence for the Freedom sleuths to use to correct the issue.

Just to add to this, I have the same issue with Jaws 16 through 18 on a Win
7 Ultimate system.

It invariably seems to correlate to the use of IE 11.  It is not duplicatable, 
but it does happen with enough consistency that there's got to be a bug 
somewhere in the program.

When it happens, if I can get Jaws to stumble-and-bumble to the process 
manager, I can close IE and reload Jaws.  Oftentimes, Jaws is so sluggish i.e. 
not quite non-responsive -- that I end up loading System Access to go and 
close IE11 and Jaws.  Then, I can re-load Jaws and its happy.

If I use a competitive screen-reader, I've not encountered these issues.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Pinning and unpinning items from the taskbar in W-10.

[Jim Flusche]

Hi Rick, thank you for your positive and kind feedback. Just doing what I can 
do to help others. Yes, I personally love W-10. That's why only after using 
W-10 for about three weeks and seeing how well it worked with Jaws, I started 
the W-10 and Jaws group. Almost two years later, I still love W-10! There are 
many members of this list and members on my own group that know way more about 
using computers them me, but I do my best to help them to the best of my 
knowledge. I also want to thank David F, and all of his moderators on this 
list, who helped teach this pinhead how to use a computer with Jaws! So in a 
way, I am giving back to the blind community as well as helping others because 
of the kindness of many people who have helped me over the years! May God bless 
all of us for helping one another learn the computer using Jaws! Thanks. Smiles.

Jim,
What a great step by step. I have a folder with your lessons. It is so good to 
see someone with a clear understanding of Windows. When, in the long ago and 
far away, and teaching WindowEyes I told my students that so much of good use 
of a screen reader relied on knowing what was possible in the operating system 
and having a good group of shortcut keys in your OS between your ears. I was a 
GW guy back in the VocalEyes days and then a WE user and teacher. When WE went 
away, I dreaded the switch. All that dread has mostly vanished. Now if I can 
retrain my head to press the specific JAWS function keys. I will be in good 
shape. Motor memory is a wonderful thing until the task has its key combo 
altered.

Thanks from lots of us,
Rick

Pinning and unpinning items from the taskbar in W-10.
OK, first of all, What Items are pinned to my Taskbar?
Second of all, What are the order of the pinned items on my Taskbar?
Third of all, Why does the pinned order of items on the Taskbar matter?
Fourth of all, How do I unpin items from the Taskbar?
Fifth of all, How do I pin items to the Taskbar?
**What Items are pinned to my Taskbar?
After pressing Windows key+T, and pressing the Right arrow key, I will hear the 
following Items.
Task bar Internet Explorer Button
Word 2016 Button
Notepad - 1 running window button menu
Outlook 2016 Button
Control Panel Button
Windows Defender Security Center Button
iTunes Button
JAWS 18 Button
**What are the order of the pinned items on my Taskbar?
1. Internet Explorer
2. Word 2016
3. Notepad
4. Outlook 2016
5. Control Panel
6. Windows Defender Security Center
7. iTunes
8. JAWS 18
**Why does the pinned order of items on the Taskbar matter?
Because, depending on the order of the pinned items to the Taskbar, this will 
determine the shortcut key that will start that program on your computer.
*For example:
on my computer pressing the windows key followed by a number on the numbers 
row, will start the following program or open the item pinned to the Taskbar.
Pressing Windows key+1, will open Internet Explorer.
Pressing Windows key+2, will open Word 2016.
Pressing Windows key+3, will open an untitled Notepad file.
Pressing Windows key+4, will open Outlook 2016.
Pressing Windows key+5, will open the control panel.
Pressing Windows key+6, will open Windows Defender Security Center.
Pressing Windows key+7, will open iTunes.
Pressing Windows key+8, will always start Jaws 18.
*Tip, if you have more than one of these windows open.
Pressing their windows key+number, will take you to that program.
*For example:
If you are in the Internet Explorer window, and you wish to go back to your 
open notepad file, just press Windows key+3, on my computer.
If you wish to start a new notepad file, Press Windows+shift+3, this will open 
a blank notepad file.
So as you can see this is a quick and fast way, to start your favorites 
programs on your W-10 computer including Jaws.
**How do I unpin items from the Taskbar?
As you are busy customizing your new W-10 computer, you should clear the pinned 
items off your Taskbar.
This way you can start from scratch, pinning your pinned items to the Taskbar 
in your own order.
*Press Windows key+T, you land on the first item pinned to your Taskbar.
Press the Applications key, up arrow to, unpin from Taskbar, press Enter.
Press Windows key+m or D, go to your desktop.
Press Windows key+T, returns you to the Taskbar, repeat the above directions 
until the Taskbar is empty.
Keep repeating these steps, until all the current items are unpinned from your 
Taskbar.

**How do I pin items to the Taskbar?
OK, let us start with pinning Jaws to the Taskbar.
Press the Windows key, followed by the down arrow key, you will land in the All 
Apps list box.
Press the letter J, you will land on JAWS 18.0 folder, Collapsed.
Press the Enter key to expand Jaws 18.
Highlight Jaws 18.
Press the Applications key, down arrow to, more sub menu, Right arrow to pin to 
taskbar, press Enter.
You now have Jaws 18 pinned to the Taskbar.
*Tip, remember if you have more than one version of Jaws installed on your 
computer, do the following.
After pressing Windows key, and pressing the down arrow, and pressing the 
letter J, you will land on the oldest version of Jaws first.
So just repeat the above steps for pinning all the versions of Jaws to the 
Taskbar, that are installed on your computer.
I always use this method for starting Jaws on my computer, instead of the old 
way of pressing Control+ALT+J, to start Jaws.
So because Jaws 18 is the eighth item pinned to the Taskbar, pressing Windows 
key+8, always starts Jaws 18 on my computer.
*How to find items like Internet explorer or notepad, to pin to my Taskbar?
Press Windows key, followed by the Down arrow, this lands you in, All Apps list 
box.
Press the letter W, down arrow to, Windows Accessories folder, Collapsed, press 
the Enter key to expand.
Highlight either Internet explorer or notepad.
Press the Applications key, Arrow down to, more sub menu, Right arrow to, pin 
to Taskbar, press Enter.
Now you have pinned either Internet explorer or Notepad to your Taskbar.
*How to find the Control panel, to pin it to the Taskbar?
Press the Windows key, followed by the Down arrow to open the All Apps list box.
Press the letter W, Down arrow to, Windows System folder, Collapsed, press 
Enter key to expand.
Down arrow and highlight Control panel.
Press the Applications key, Arrow down to more sub menu, Right arrow to pin to 
Taskbar, press Enter.
Now you have pinned the Control panel to the Taskbar.
*Other examples:
1. Press the Windows key, or Enter on the Start button.
2. Either press the up or down arrow or Tab two times to All apps list box,.
3. Use first letter navigation, or just Down

Re: [JAWS-Users] McAfee Removal

[Jim Flusche]

Hi Mike, go to programs and features, highlight the mcafee program, press enter 
to start the removal of mcafee. I believe you tab one time to enter the mcafee 
removal window, use your arrow keys, find where it says remove all mcafee 
components or something like that, make sure you check the checkbox with the 
spacebar, to remove the entire program. Staying on the same screen, you should 
see a message at top of the screen saying removing mcafee, please wait. When it 
is done, you will see at the bottom of the page, a restart is required to 
finish removing mcafee, press enter on the restart button at the bottom of the 
page. I did this to remove mcafee from my new computer, after I restarted my 
machine, Windows defender security center was activated. This is all you need 
for your anti-virus, no need in wasting money for other anti-virus programs, 
windows defender works just as well as any paid anti-virus programs that are 
out there. Now this is in reference to a computer running the W-10 
 creators update. But the steps above work on removing mcafee from your 
computer, no special tool needed. I just did a tandem with Jaws to remove 
mcafee from Ed's computer. I have now used the windows defender built-in free 
anti-virus program on both my computers for the last year, no issues at all on 
either of my computers. When people hear the word free and anti-virus, they 
think they are getting a weak product, this is not true anymore. Why waist your 
money on giant anti-virus programs that do not work well with Jaws, when you 
can use the free windows defender program that works well with Jaws. Again, I 
am speaking to those of you who are running W-10. If you are paying for a 
yearly subscription to an anti-virus program, in my humble opinion, you are 
wasting your money! Again I am speaking from experience, after using windows 
defender for one year on two computers. I used to use mcafee because it was one 
of the better anti-virus programs that used to work well with Jaws, not any m
 ore. Just my two cents worth! Smiles.

Hello Mike,
The only safe way to remove any of these weeds is to use the un install tool

In your case, it's called "McAfee Consumer Products Removal tool"; can't speak

Browser with JAWS or NVDA

Hi all,
I did an Updated text tutorial on using the Google Chrome browser. It is pasted 
right here in this email, so you can read it, and give me feedback.
On each line, I tell you what my computer says as I take you through the Google 
Chrome menu, and I take you carefully through the settings web page.
This is a lot like the Options page in Firefox, but it is easier to navigate.
I hope this really helps you get started with Chrome, because it works so well 
for me.
Here is the tutorial right below!
Tutorial for Using the Google Chrome Browser By David Moore This tutorial will 
be done with the latest update of Chrome.
I will also use JAWS 18 and NVDA 2017.2for this tutorial, because they both 
work the same in Chrome.
Finally, I will use Windows 10 Creators Update latest public build.
I will assume that you have downloaded and installed Chrome.
There should be a shortcut on your desktop.
First, I will launch Chrome. We will not create a home page until we get to the 
Chrome settings web page.
This is a lot like the Options page in Firefox, or the Options dialog in IE.
Pressing the Alt key, opens the one and only, Chrome menu, with many choices 
that I will arrow down through.
The first very important step, is to press Windows+up arrow to maximise the 
window. Chrome often opens with the window not maximise, and you will get 
undesirable results.
I will press the Alt key.
The Chrome menu is open.
I will press insert+up arrow to hear the first option in this menu.
New Tab, CTRL+T.
You can press that command right from the web site you are on.
New Window, CTRL+N
You can press these commands right from your web page, instead of coming here.
New incognito Window.
History sub menu.
I will press right arrow here to see what is in this sub menu!
History, CTRL+H
So, there is a key command for reading your history.
You can read a few sites you were on right here.
I will press left arrow to close this history sub menu.
Downloads, CTRL+J
There is the command for opening your downloads you have downloaded with Chrome.
Next, the important Bookmarks sub menu.
I will press right arrow, to open this.
I hear, bookmark this page, CTRL+D
That command will bookmark the page you are reading.
Next down arrow, says show bookmarks bar, CTRL+Shift+B That command, will show 
your bookmarks on your Chrome browser for all to see. I do not want that.
Here is the important one.
manage bookmarks
The command is, CTRL+Shift+O
In here, you can organize your bookmarks into folders, see the bookmarks you 
have imported from different browsers, and very importantly, you can download, 
to your computer, an HTML file of all of your bookmarks in Chrome.
On your computer, you can press enter on this file, after it downloads, and a 
page will show up in Chrome with a list of all bookmarks you have saved in 
Chrome. This is an awesome way to download all of your bookmarks right to your 
computer, so you can back them up.
That is all for manage bookmarks.
Next, I hear import bookmarks and settings.
press enter on this, and you can import all bookmarks and settings from IE, and 
Firefox, right into Google Chrome, and they will be in their corresponding 
folders.
Now, I hear all of my saved bookmarks as I continue to arrow down.
Very important!
Sometimes, when I open that bookmarks sub menu, I do not land on the choices I 
mension here, but instead, I start hearing my saved bookmarks. If this happens, 
I press up arrow a few times, and it gets me to these choices.
Keep in mind, that many of these choices, like bookmark manager, have key 
commands, so you do not have to come to this bookmarks sub menu at all. You 
only need to come here most of the time, to arrow through your saved bookmarks, 
and enter on the desired one.
The next few are very self explanatory.
The next one I will mension,

Hello Again,

Thanks to everyone for their replies.  Remapping the date function to the Pause 
key is the best solution I've heard so far, imho.

But I'm afraid I've unintentionally misled you.  My question was meant to be 
more generic.  Holding down the Ins key while pressing F12 twice quickly was 
just an example.

How would my hypothetical one-handed typist who can only press one key at a 
time press the Ins key and press T twice quickly in help mode
(Ins+1) to hear extended help for the Say Title keystroke, for instance?

Icymi, in the latest release of NVDA it is now possible to lock the NVDA key by 
pressing it twice, if Sticky Keys are enabled.

BFN!

Hi Mike, At the beginning of the text to be selected, press Control+Windows+K, 
this makes a temporary place marker at the beginning of your text. At the end 
of the text to be copied, press Insert+Spacebar, you will hear a sound, Then 
press the letter M, this will select all text between the temporary place 
marker and the end of the text, press Control+C, will copy all the block of

try one more time.

Can someone explain to me the differences between Office 365 home, Office 365 
personal and what a key card is? 

Also, if there are 5 subscriptions, do the people sharing the subscriptions 
have to be in the same household? I have a friend who lives in a different town 
and I am wondering if I can share the subscription with her on her computer and 
mobile devices, even though she is not living with me.

I also would like to know how the different versions, home, personal, etc. work 
with JAWS. I have JAWS 14 and 18.


Thanks.

scan button and the scan page will appear  and then you just click on the scan

Hi,
Since the users interface has change it seems to me it is not accessible with

says, 2 of 20, this is the first item.
On my computer, there are 16 items in the list, ignore the numbers.

Library Sidebar Tree view Songs 5 of 20
Library Sidebar Tree view Genres 6 of 20 Videos Genius Purchased 90’s Music

*Work out
*Tip, first letter navigation does work in this list.
**Quickly type S,O, You will land on Songs, this is what you want set here for 
now.
**For example, you will hear, Library Sidebar Tree view Songs 5 of 20.
**Press F6 again, you will hear, Library Sidebar Tree view Library, leave this 
set to library.
**Press F6 again

About JAWS Cursors
Navigating through Windows with JAWS is accomplished with cursors.
These cursors determine the focus of JAWS speech and are often directly linked 
with Windows cursors.

The PC Cursor - Follows Keystrokes

This cursor is linked to the keyboard functions of Windows and applications.
This is the cursor that is used when typing information, moving through options 
in dialog boxes, and selecting options or icons.
As you type information, the PC Cursor follows along with each key you press.
If you are making a selection in a menu or dialog box, the PC Cursor highlights 
the currently selected object.
The PC Cursor is activated by default when JAWS starts. If you are using a 
different cursor, pressing NUM PAD PLUS returns you to the PC Cursor.

therefore have access to information in an application window that is beyond 
the scope of the PC Cursor.
To activate the JAWS Cursor, press NUM PAD MINUS.

The Invisible Cursor - Explore Without Moving Focus

The Invisible Cursor allows you to move around the screen without changing the 
position of the PC Cursor or mouse pointer.
You can use this cursor to read text and access options that you cannot move to 
with the PC Cursor.
You can also use the Invisible Cursor to provide a quick overview of the 
information currently available on the screen.
To activate the Invisible Cursor, press NUM PAD MINUS twice quickly.

The Touch Cursor - Object Navigation

The Touch Cursor enables you to navigate the Windows environment using a touch 
screen, found on many tablet computers running Windows 8 or later.

When reading my messages in outlook 2010, I open the first message and it reads 
the E-mail.  To close this message and delete the message, I do control key 
plus letter D to delete the message and open the next E mail which is read from 
top to bottom without headers.
Again, you do the control delete while in an open message.

This is what I need to do, hit control home and then Jaws down arrow.
Why is this, this is not acceptable.
This behavior does not happen in Windows 10 mail, messages are read in their 
entirety when opening an  email.
Work arouns like control home and then doing a say all such as must be done in 
outlook are a productivity killer and should not be tolerated.

Hey Gang,

I haven't heard anything, so I thought I would try it again, smiles.

Every time I open up an email it starts reading in the middle, or sometimes at 
the bottom.

How do I get it to read at the top?

I'm using windows10, jaws18, MS2010, and outlook, on a 32 bit computer.

Thanks Patti

[JAWS-Users] How to access and use the Jaws help topics system

[Jim Flusche]

Hi Jaws users list, In my continued effort to do my part in helping all the 
users of window eyes learn how to use Jaws 18, please read below.
How to access and use the Jaws help topics system.
Most of this material was taken directly from the Jaws help system of the Jaws 
18 version, provided by the VFO group.
I take no credit for this material, I am only using this as a learning tool, to 
teach new Jaws users how to use Jaws.

If you are using Jaws to run from the system tray like I recommend.
Press Insert+J, opens the Jaws options window.
*Tip, if you are not running Jaws from the system tray, press ALT+Tab, 
highlight the Jaws window, press ALT+F, to bring up the same menu.
Press the letter H, opens the help section of the Jaws window.
Down arrow to, Jaws help topics, press Enter.
*Tip, press Insert+J, opens the Jaws options page, press the letter H, followed 
by the letter J, to directly open the Jaws help topics page.
You will hear:
JAWS 18 Help, Contents page, Tree view
Introduction book open, 9 items
This is a simple tree view of Jaws help books.
Press the Right arrow key to open any category, press the left arrow key to 
close any open category.
Press Enter followed by the F6 key, to open that section of the Jaws help 
system.
For example.
After pressing the Insert+J, to open the Jaws window.
After pressing the letter H, to go to the Help section of the Jaws window.
After pressing the letter J, you will be directly taken to, the Jaws help 
topics page.
After you press the down arrow key to, About JAWS Cursors.
After pressing enter on, About JAWS Cursors.
After pressing the F6 key, you will see the following page in the Jaws help 
HTML system:
*Tip, remember HTML, means that you can press H, for headings, press the Tab 
key to jump by links, press Insert+F7, to display a Jaws links list, and so on.
After pressing enter on, About JAWS Cursors, and pressing the F6 key, press 
Control+Home, to go to the top of the page, down arrow through the page, you 
will hear.

About JAWS Cursors
Navigating through Windows with JAWS is accomplished with cursors.
These cursors determine the focus of JAWS speech and are often directly linked 
with Windows cursors.

The PC Cursor - Follows Keystrokes

This cursor is linked to the keyboard functions of Windows and applications.
This is the cursor that is used when typing information, moving through options 
in dialog boxes, and selecting options or icons.
As you type information, the PC Cursor follows along with each key you press.
If you are making a selection in a menu or dialog box, the PC Cursor highlights 
the currently selected object.
The PC Cursor is activated by default when JAWS starts. If you are using a 
different cursor, pressing NUM PAD PLUS returns you to the PC Cursor.
*Tip, If you are using the Jaws touch cursor, pressing NUM PAD PLUS twice 
quickly returns you to the PC Cursor.

The JAWS Cursor - Follows Mouse Pointer

The JAWS Cursor is linked to mouse pointer functions in Windows and other 
applications.
It is used to read information the PC Cursor cannot read, such as toolbar 
information.
The mouse follows along with the JAWS Cursor when it is moved, and you 
therefore have access to information in an application window that is beyond 
the scope of the PC Cursor.
To activate the JAWS Cursor, press NUM PAD MINUS.

The Invisible Cursor - Explore Without Moving Focus

The Invisible Cursor allows you to move around the screen without changing the 
position of the PC Cursor or mouse pointer.
You can use this cursor to read text and access options that you cannot move to 
with the PC Cursor.
You can also use the Invisible Cursor to provide a quick overview of the 
information currently available on the screen.
To activate the Invisible Cursor, press NUM PAD MINUS twice quickly.

The Touch Cursor - Object Navigation

The Touch Cursor enables you to navigate the Windows environment using a touch 
screen, found on many tablet computers running Windows 8 or later.
*Tip, you do not need to have a touch screen to use the Jaws touch cursor.
To control JAWS from a touch screen, you will use one or more fingers to 
perform various gestures directly on the screen, such as tapping, flicking, and 
swiping.
When activated from the keyboard, you can use keystrokes to simulate touch 
screen gestures to move through the objects in an application to access 
information that is not readily accessible using the JAWS or PC Cursor.
The Touch Cursor is always available when navigating using a touch screen.
To activate the Touch Cursor from the keyboard, press SHIFT+NUM PAD PLUS.
Tip, to change from using the touch cursor back to the PC cursor, press the num 
pad plus, twice quickly to change back to the regular PC cursor.


The Virtual PC Cursor - HTML Environment
The virtual PC Cursor mimics the functions of the PC Cursor, but is activated 
by default when entering an HTML document, such as a web page on the Internet.
The virtual PC Cursor speaks the number of elements on

Creators update, The Insert and Escape keys, your best friend part 2
This is a text tutorial, provided freely by The W-10 and Jaws group, anyone may 
freely share this file.
Author: Jim Flusche

So useing the laptop keyboard layout in Jaws is an advantage, not a drawback.
Again for this lesson I will call the capslock key the Jaws key and the numpad 
insert key, the insert key.
For example: using the laptop keyboard layout, For some Jaws keystrokes you 
must use the Capslock+Shift+Control, plus a key on the keyboard to do them.
For Example, in the laptop keyboard layout, If you are running Jaws from the 
system trey, pressing capslock+Shift+Control+J, Brings up the JAWS options menu 
window, with the options sub menu highlighted for you.
You can also press Numpad Insert+J, in the desktop keyboard layout to bring up 
the JAWS options menu window.
Another example, using the laptop keyboard layout, Pressing 
Capslock+Shift+Control+H, Places JAWS Hot Keys in the Virtual Viewer.
You can review them with the Arrow keys, and press the Escape key to close this 
window.
Using the desktop keyboard layout, pressing the numpad Insert+H, Places JAWS 
Hot Keys in the Virtual Viewer.
In the below lesson I will list the Insert key keystroke, followed by the 
Laptop keyboard layout Capslock key keystroke.
I personally use the Jaws laptop keyboard layout, that way I can choose what 
keyboard keystroke combonations, works best for using both my hands.
So it's very nice to have another Jaws modifier key, to use when pressing Jaws 
keystrokes involving the pressing of many keys on the keyboard.
**Now let us look at how to use Jaws layered keystrokes, Insert+Spacebar, or 
Capslock+Spacebar, followed by a letter.
This means when you press Insert+Spacebar, or Capslock+Spacebar, you will hear 
a ding sound, you then can press a certain letter or key to open one of the 
many options for the Jaws layered keystrokes.
For example: Pressing Insert+Spacebar, or Capslock+Spacebar, followed by the ? 
Question mark, you will hear:
Search commands press J.
Repeat last background notification from Skype press Shift+R.
Show recent speech history press H.
Clear recent speech history press Shift+H.
View text on clipboard press C.
Select text between marked place and current position press M.
Customize web page with Flexible Web press X.
ResearchIt press R.
OCR Feature Layer press O.
Table Navigation Layer press T.
Switch to your recent Windows Live Messages press Number row 1 through 5.
Text Analyzer press A.
Mute Synthesizer press S.
Lock Keyboard press L.
Toggle audio ducking press D, still working on this in the Creators update.
So let us look at most of these layered keystrokes one at a time.
**Pressing either the Numpad Insert+Spacebar, or the Capslock Jaws 
key+Spacebar, followed by the letter J, opens the search for Jaws commands 
window.
For example, after pressing Insert+Spacebar, or Capslock+Spacebar, followed by 
J, You are in a Jaws search for commands edit box, type the word copy, press 
the tab key, you are put in a Jaws HTML page of results.
You can use the Arrow keys or H, for heading or Insert+F7, for a Links list, 
press the Escape key to close this window.
Below is an example of what comes up, when you type the word copy in to the 
Jaws search for commands edit box, and press the Tab key, I have shortened the 
results.
*Copy Selected Text To Clipboard. Control + C
Standard Windows copy command, usually found in the Edit menu, any selected 
text or items will be copied to the Windows Clipboard. The selected items or 
text can then be pasted into another window or application.
*View Clipboard Text. press Insert+Spacebar, or Capslock+Spacebar, followed by 
the letter C.
The Clipboard Text Viewer displays all text that has been copied to the Windows 
Clipboard using the standard Windows Copy and Cut commands, press escape to 
close this window.
*Virtualize Window. Alt + Insert + W or Capslock+ALT+W.
This keystroke displays the text in the current window in the Virtual Viewer. 
You can then select the text and copy and paste it to another application, such 
as an e-mail message. This is especially useful in error dialog boxes, press 
escape to close this window.
*Select Text Between Marked Place And Current Position. Insert+Spacebar, or 
Capslock+Spacebar, followed by the letter M.
This command selects text between the temporary Placemarker and current virtual 
cursor location. You may then use Control+c to copy the selected text to the 
clipboard.
*For example: on a website, press Control+Windows+k, to set a temporary 
Placemarker at the beginning of the text to be copied.
At the end of the text to be copied, press Insert+Spacebar, or 
Capslock+Spacebar, followed by the letter M, all the text in-between has been 
selected, press Control+C to copy all the text.
*Append Selected Text To Clipboard. Insert + Windows + C or Capslock+Windows+C.

Sorry about the blank message before this one, forgot to paste the file. LOL.
Creators update, The Windows key, your best friend
This is a text tutorial, provided freely by The W-10 and Jaws group, anyone may 
freely share this file.
Author: Jim Flusche

This file has been updated to the W-10 Creators update, some keystrokes may 
work in previous versions of windows.

Last year I did a short lesson on the application key, "The application key 
your best friend".
Now let us take a short look at the Windows key, your best friend.
I will point out several of my favorite, and most used windows key keystrokes 
followed by the Microsoft support, complete list of windows key, keystrokes for 
the Creators update.
**First of all pressing the windows key will open or close the start search 
edit box.
As you begin typing, a list of items is automatically populated for you in the 
search edit box.
The more letters you type, the populated items will change.
Use the up or down arrow keys, to highlight the populated item you are 
searching for.
You can also see web results right here in the search edit box.
Press enter on the item you wish to open.
**Windows key+x, Opens the W-10 Quick Link menu, with 17 items.
Apps and features is the first item, desktop is the last item in the list.
*tip, Programs and features is no longer in this list, look under Control panel.
Just press enter to lonch any selected item.
**Windows key+e, Opens file explorer, quick access.
When I press, Windows key+e, I am placed into a list of 8 items that I have 
pinned to my quick access shortcut list.
Use either your arrow keys, or first letter navigation to quickly highlight the 
item you wish to open.
For example, pressing the letter j, will highlight my personal users folder.
If I press enter, I will see the list of all my personal users folders, such as 
documents, music, downloads, and so on.
When I am in this list, of my users folders, I can use first letter navigation 
to select a folder, pressing enter on any selected folder will open that folder.
Pressing the back space key will take me back to this list of my users folders, 
very easy and handy way to jump between your users folders.
**Windows key+i, opens the settings area search edit box.
You are placed in the search edit box of the settings area.
With Jaws 18, Just type what you are searching for, and start pressing the down 
arrow to find your result, press Enter to go directly to that part of the 
settings area.
For example, press Windows key+i, type update.
Down arrow to, check for updates, press Enter.
You will be taken to the check for updates button, press the Spacebar or enter, 
to check for updates.
*Tip, use the Jaws touch cursor with Shift+PC cursor, left arrow across to 
updates, press the right arrow to hear what is going on with the updates, press 
the PC cursor twice quickly to go back to using the PC cursor.
Or you can do the following, Press Windows key+i, you will land in the Settings 
area search edit box.
Tab one time to the list of the 11 main categories in the settings area of the 
Creators update.
Press the right arrow key or just press the end key to jump to, update and 
security.
Press enter on update and security, tab one time  You will land on, Windows 
update, 1 of 9, this is already highlighted for you.
Tab one time to, check for updates, press the Spacebar to check for updates.
*Tip, while in the settings area, pressing the backspace key, will take you 
back to the search edit box in settings area, just tab to the list of 11 main 
categories.
*Tip, remember the first sub-category is already selected for you, just begin 
tabbing across, for any other sub-categories, press Enter first, and then begin 
tabbing across the window.
So as you can see from my example above, typing directly into the search edit 
box in the settings area of W-10, is much faster to get to where you wish to go.
*Remember, after pressing Windows key+i, you will land in the search edit box, 
also after pressing enter on a ssub-catigory, you will land in the search edit 
box, just tab one time to go to the list of either main or subcategories.
*Remember the first item of any subcategory is already selected, you can begin 
tabbing across the tab controls of that window.
*Always press inser key+tab, to make jaws repeat the tab control, and its 
current setting, for you in the settings area.
**Press Windows key+Tab, opens Task view, press the Right arrow key to go 
across all open windows, press the Enter key to go directly to that open window.
**Press Windows key+A, opens the action center.
Press the down arrow to hear the notifications, tab one time on a highlighted 
notification to clear this notification, press the Spacebar to clear.
**Windows key+d or m, takes you to the desktop.
**Windows key+b, takes you to the notification chevron button.
Just press the right arrow key to see all your notification area icons.
*Remember you can press the application key on any icon to open

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Creator's edition ISO

Hi All!

Does anyone know if Microsoft's Media Creation Tool downloads the Creator's 
edition? Or is it only downloading the original release of Windows 10?

The reason I'm asking is because when I tried installing Windows 10 last summer 
it would never go past the first screen where it asks some privacy questions 
and for your Microsoft Live account credentials. So I assumed that if I ever 
wanted to upgrade to Windows 10, I'd have to get a new computer, I'm kind of 
hoping that the hanging problem was just a problem with the original release 
and that the subsequent releases might actually work.

My computer is a nine year old Dell Latitude D830 with 4 GB of RAM, An Intel 
2.5 GHz Core2 Duo processor, a nVidia 160M Quadro graphics system, and an Intel 
300 GB SSD.

Later...

eyes to Jaws the most.
Creators update, The Insert and Escape keys, your best friend, part 3
This will be the final lesson in this series, the Insert and Escape keys, your 
best friend part 3.
This is a text tutorial, provided freely by The W-10 and Jaws group, anyone may 
freely share this file.
Author: Jim Flusche

Remember all these keystrokes may work in previous versions of windows.

The insert and escape keys, your best friend part three.
We will look at the reading commands and editing text with Jaws.
In this lesson the Jaws Capslock key will be just Capslock, and the Jaws Insert 
key will be just Insert.
I personally use a combonation, of both the desktop and the laptop keyboard 
layout.
Of course this depends on what method is the most convenient at the time in 
using both my hands on the keyboard.
==
**Reading commands with Jaws.
**Read the current word, Capslock+Numpad5, or Capslock+K, or Insert+Numpad5.
**Moves to and Read the prior word, Capslock+Numpad4, or Capslock+J, or 
Insert+Numpad4.
**Moves to and Read the next word, Capslock+Numpad6, or Capslock+L, or 
Insert+Numpad6.
**Pressing Capslock+Numpad7, or Capslock+Home key on the 6pack, or 
Inser+Numpad7, Says the text from the beginning of the line up to the active 
cursor.
**Read the current line, Capslock+Numpad8, or Capslock+Up arrow, or 
Insert+Numpad8.

the bottom of the window depending on which cursor is active.
*If you press either Capslock+Numpad2, or Capslock+Down arrow, or Insert+down 
arrow, this is the Jaws say all, command used by all Jaws users quite a lot.
**Pressing Capslock+Numpad3, or Insert+Numpad3, or Capslock+Page down on the 
six pack, Reads the bottom line of the active window.
*You can use just one hand and press the Insert+Numpad 1 through 9 as well, to 
perform the above keystrokes with Jaws.
**Pressing just the UpArrow, or Numpad8, Moves to the prior line and speaks it.
**Pressing just the DownArrow, or Numpad2, Moves to the next line and speaks it.
**Pressing just the LeftArrow, or Numpad4, Moves to the prior character and 
speaks it.
**Pressing just the RightArrow, or Numpad6, Moves to the next character and 
speaks it.
**Pressing just the Home key on the 6pack, or Numpad7, Sends a Home command to 
the active cursor, this will place you at the beginning of a line of text.
**Pressing just the End key on the 6pack, or Numpad1, Sends an End command to 
the active cursor, this will place you at the end of the line of text.
**Pressing just the PageUp key on the 6pack, or Numpad9, Sends a PAGE UP 
command to the active cursor, this will move you up a page in your document.
**Pressing just the PageDown key on the 6pack, or Numpad3, Sends a PAGE DOWN 
command to the active cursor, this will move you down a page in your document.
**Pressing Insert+UpArrow, or Insert+Numpad8, Says the current line, you can 
exchange the Insert key for the Capslock key with this command.
**Pressing Insert+DownArrow, or Insert+Numpad2, Document reading Command. Says 
to the end or bottom of the current document or the bottom of the window 
depending on which cursor is active, this is the Jaws Say all command, again 
you can exchange the Insert key with the Capslock key for this command.
**Pressing Insert+LeftArrow, or Insert+Numpad4, Moves to the prior word and 
speaks it, you can exchange the Insert key with the Capslock key for this 
command.
**Pressing Insert+RightArrow, or Insert+Numpad6, Moves to the next word and

Life is like a stormy sea
That tosses to and fro,

And sail life's sea no more!

[JAWS-Users] Creators update, The insert and escape keys, your best friend, part 1

[Jim Flusche]

Hi Jaws users list, I thought this lesson would help the new Jaws users on 
group with learning Jaws, they do not have to be using the W-10 Creators 
update. Many of these keystrokes will work in erlier versions of windows.
Creators update, The insert and escape keys, your best friend, part 1
This is a text tutorial, provided freely by The W-10 and Jaws group, anyone may

Author: Jim Flusche

Many of the keystrokes in all my lessons, should work in previous versions of 
Windows.
This lesson has been updated to the W-10 Creators update.

Remember in this lesson, these are not the total list of all of the keystrokes 
for these keys, however in this lesson I give most of the keystrokes.
As we all know, the Insert key is very important to all blind computer users.
*Let's take a look at the most important keystroke combonations with the Insert 
and Capslock keys.
*Tip, You must be using Jaws 18 in the laptop keyboard layout.
**Insert+1, or Capslock+1, on the number row, turns on keyboard help, this is a 
toggle keystroke, press once to turn on and again to turn off.
When keyboard help is on, press any key or keystroke to hear about that key or 
keystroke.
When pressing a keystroke combonation like Insert+T, for the title window, 
gives a short message about that keystroke.
If you press that keystroke twice quickly, you will hear a longer discription 
about that keystroke combonation and what it does.
**Insert+F2, or Capslock+F2, opens the run Jaws manager list of 17 items.
For example, you will find dictionary manager, research it, and settings center 
and more.
First letter navigation works in the list of Jaws managers.
If you want to see a list of all the Jaws managers, press Insert+F2, or 
Caplock+F2, use the arrow keys or first letter navigation to look around, press 
enter on any manager to open it, press the escape key to close this window.
**Insert+F11, or Capslock+F11, opens, the Select a system tray icon list box.
For example my computer says, Jaws for windows 1 of 5.
After pressing the Insert+F11, or Capslock+F11, after you look at the current 
list of icons, you can press the Escape key to close this window.
Or you can press enter on one of the icons, to open a context menu list for 
that item.
For example, if I press enter on, No actions needed 1 of 5, this will open a 
context menu with one item open, pressing enter on open, will open the new 
Windows defender security center.
**Insert+F10, or Capslock+F10, Opens the Windows list dialog, this is the 
active list of running applications on your PC.
Press the Right arrow key to go across the open windows, press Enter to go 
directly to that window, or Press the Escape key, to close this window.
**Insert+F12, or Capslock+F12, Jaws will tell you the current Time, if pressed 
twice quickly tells you the current Date.
**Insert+F1, or Capslock+F1, opens Screen Sensitive Help.
Pressing the escape key, will close this window.
If you press and hold INSERT or Capslock, then press F1 twice quickly, this 
will Open the JAWS Help for specific applications window.
For example, if you press and hold INSERT or Capslock, then press F1 twice 
quickly, why you are in outlook.
You will hear, popular applications, contents page, treeview, topic outlook.
If you press enter followed by the f6 key, you will open the Jaws HTML help 
file system to the outlook topic.
The following is what the page will look like.
Outlook
Microsoft Outlook(tm) is an e-mail and information manager.
Outlook makes it simple to keep e-mails, contacts, calendar items, tasks, and 
notes organized in one location.
Outlook works with other Microsoft Office applications to help you access and 
integrate information.
Please visit http://www.microsoft.com for more information on Outlook.
The following are links, to other pages in the Jaws HTML help file system.

Press ALT+f4, to close the Jaws help system page.
**Insert+F4, or Capslock+F4, opens the unloading Jaws dialog, quit Jaws dialog, 
Jaws says, are you sure you want to quit Jaws?
If you pressed this keystroke by mistake, just press the Escape key to close 
this window, or press Enter to shut down Jaws.
**Insert+Control+F, or Capslock+Control+F, activates the Jaws find dialog.
Type a word you are searching for, and press Enter.
**Insert+F3, or Capslock+F3, Searches the current screen or virtual document 
for the next instance of the item you previously have used the JAWS Find dialog 
to locate.
For example, in Internet Explorer, you press just F3 and not Insert+F3 to jump 
to the next occurrence of the word.
While in internet explorer, If you press Insert+Control+F, or 
Capslock+Control+F, this brings up the Jaws find dialog, type a word, press 
Enter.
Now just press the F3 key by itself to see the next occurrence of that word on

Hi Jim,
Thanks a lot. I can always use a review. When I read your updated stuff, I 
realize that there are a few very powerful key commands that I have forgotten. 
Also, I realize that I have been doing tasks the long way, and you give a much 
shorter way to save time. Even for the advanced computer user, what you put 
together reminds me of stuff. For the beginner, I really encourage you to read 
everything Jim puts on here. You will be a power user before you know it. We 
are so blessed to have all of this information in one place. For example, on 
other lists, people are in a panic, because they do not know how to put a short 
cut on their desktop with Windows 10. There are many people who are really lost 
when using Windows 10, and they do not have access to this information. Tell 
everyone about this list. When I run into a Windows 10 question, I tell people 
about this list. I am so glad that you and Joseph have done so much to make 
Windows 10 the best OS for the blind yet.
Have a great one, guys!

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Creators update, The applications key, your best friend

Hi new Jaws users and current members of the Jaws users list, I have updated 
and added to this short lesson about the Applications key, your best friend, 
let me know what you think about it. Smiles.
Creators update, The application key, your best friend This is a text tutorial, 
provided freely by The W-10 and Jaws group, all may freely share this text 
tutorial.
Author: Jim Flusche

This text file had now been Updated to the Creators update, new material had 
been added.
The applications key is your best friend in using W-10 with Jaws.
As you have read my complete guide, we use the applications key and its context 
menu to do many things in W-10.
For example:
*After pressing Windows key+T, takes you to the taskbar and its pinned items.
Use your right arrow to move to each pinned item on the Taskbar.
*If you wish to remove a pinned item from the Taskbar.
Highlight the item, Press the applications key, up arrow to unpin from Taskbar, 
press enter.
*If you wish to start over with the list of pinned items on the Taskbar.
Highlight them one by one, press the applications key, arrow up to unpin from 
the Taskbar, press enter.
*Now use the All apps list box, in the start button area, pin all items back to 
the Taskbar in the order you wish to have them.
How do I do this?
*Press the windows key or press enter on the start button, either press up or 
Down arrow or tab two times to, All Apps list box.
Use first letter navigation to jump through your list of all the apps and all 
the programs on your computer.
*Tip, you must have an app or program installed starting with a certain letter 
to use first letter navigation in the All Apps list box.
When you find a app or find a program you wish to pin to the Taskbar.
Highlight it, Press the applications key, down arrow to, more submenu, right 
arrow to, pin to the Taskbar, press enter.
Do this for all the items you wish to pin to the Taskbar.
I use the Taskbar pinned items a lot.
For example:
After you have pinned your items to the Taskbar, you now have shortcuts for all 
the pinned items on your Taskbar.
Just press the windows key with the number of the pinned item on the Taskbar to 
open that App or program.
For example, on my computer:
Pressing Windows key+1, opens Internet Explorer.
Pressing Windows key+2, opens Word 2016.
Pressing Windows key+3, opens Notepad.
Pressing Windows key+4, opens Outlook 2016.
Pressing Windows key+5, opens Control Panel.
Pressing Windows key+6, opens Windows defender security center.
Pressing Windows key+7, opens Jaws 17.
Pressing Windows key+8, opens Jaws 18.
Pressing Windows key+9, opens iTunes.
These are very handy shortcuts for opening your pinned apps or programs that 
you have pinned to the Taskbar.
*Using Quick access, pinned items.
*Now you can also use the Windows key+E, to bring up a list of items you have 
pinned to quick access.
Remember in W-10, we now have what is called, File explorer, desktop App.
You can set file explorer to open in Quick access or open in This PC.
I show you in the complete guide and in the audio lessons, why I use the file 
explorer to open in quick access.
How do I pin items to quick access?
The easiest way to do them at one time is to do the following.
Press enter on your This PC icon on the desktop.
Arrow down and highlight your C: drive.

things in W-10.
For example:

Use your right arrow to move to each pinned item on the Taskbar.
If you wish to remove a pinned item from the Taskbar.

press enter.
If you wish to start over with the list of pinned items on the Taskbar.
Highlight them one by one, press the applications key, arrow up to unpin from 
the Taskbar, press enter.
Now use the All apps list box, in the start area, pin all items back to the 
Taskbar in the order you wish to have them.
How do I do this?
Press the windows key or press enter on the start button, tab two times to, 
Apps view list box, or just press the down arrow after pressing the Windows key.
Use first letter navigation to jump through your list of all the apps and all 
the programs on your computer.
When you find a app or find a program you wish to pin to the Taskbar.
Press the applications key, down arrow to, more submenu, right arrow to, pin to

Do this for all the items you wish to pin to the Taskbar.
I use the Taskbar pinned items a lot.
For example:
After you have pinned your items to the Taskbar, you now have shortcuts for all 
the pinned items on your Taskbar.
Just press the windows key with the number of the pinned item on the Taskbar.
For example, on my computer:
Windows key+1, Jaws 17.
Windows key+2, Internet explorer.
Windows key+3, Notepad.
Windows key+4, OneDrive.
Windows key+5, Skype.
Windows key+6, Calculator.
Windows key+7, Control panel.
Windows key+8, Outlook 2016.
Windows key+9, Groove music.
Windows key+0, F S Reader 2.0.
These are very handy shortcuts for opening your pinned apps or programs that 
you have pinned to the Taskbar.
Now you can also use the Windows key+E, to bring up a list of items you have 
pinned to quick access.
Remember in W-10, we now have what is called, File explorer.
You can set file explorer to open in Quick access or open in This PC.
I show you in the complete guide and in the audio lessons, why I use the file 
explorer to open in quick access.
How do I pin items to quick access?

Press the applications key on any folder, file, drive, or location you wish to 
pin to quick access.
Arrow down to, pin to quick access, press enter.
Now where ever you are on your computer, when you press Windows key+E, you will 
open a list of pinned items that you have pinned to quick access.
You can also pin many things to your desktop.
How do I pin programs to the desktop?
Go to the all apps list box.
Highlight the program you wish to make a desktop shortcut icon for and do the 
following.
Press the applications key.
Arrow down to, more sub menu, press the right arrow key.
Arrow down to, Open file location, press enter.
Press the applications key again, arrow down to, send to sub menu, Right arrow 
one time.
Down arrow to, Desktop, create shortcut, press enter.
Now you have pinned an icon for that program on your desktop.
We showed you yesterday how to pin apps to your desktop.
So as you can see by the lesson above, the applications key is your best friend 
in W-10!
Review:
What you have pinned to the Taskbar.
Just press the windows key+the numbered position of the pinned item to the 
Taskbar, to open that item.
Again, this is very convenient, I use this most of the time to open my programs.
What you have pinned to quick access.
Just press Windows key+E.
Again you can press this very convenient keystroke anywhere to bring up a list 
of pinned items, such as files, folders, drives, or other stuff, that you have 
pinned to quick access.
You can press Windows key+m, to go to your desktop.
You can press first letter navigation; to find all the programs or apps 
shortcuts you have pinned to your desktop.
Just press enter to open them.
While using Internet explorer.
When you come across a website you wish to pin to the desktop.
Press ALT+f, for the file menu.
Arrow down to, Send sub menu, right arrow one time.
Down arrow to, Shortcut to desktop, press enter.
To confirm, press the spacebar.
Now you have convenient shortcuts to your favorite websites right on your 
desktop.

Re: [JAWS-Users] OverlayWindow0 On Top

Hi Reed, thanks for letting me know. Same here in the Creators update. In this 
"OverlayWindow0, I tried the Jaws cursor, the touch cursor, but it seems like a 
phantom window. No way that I see to interact with this window. I will leave

Hello,

 

With Windows Version 10.0.14393, when I hit Insert+F10 to show "window list", I 
am now seeing this "OverlayWindow0 On Top" that I've never seen before.  

I have seen it just after boot up, after loading Outlook and at other random 
times.

When I hit Enter to open it and hit Insert+Q twice quickly, it tells me "JAWS 
for Windows settings are used in the jfw.exe application. The configuration 
name is JAWS Window. The current scheme is Classic."

 

When I hit Insert+F1, I get "JAWS may not recognize this control. To show JAWS 
what type of control it is, press Insert+7. To see more technical information 
on the control, press Control+Insert+F1."

 

When I hit Control+Insert+F1, I get,

"Window Technical Information:

Control ID  0

Class  OverlayWindowClass_F7A740FA-AB45-4F46-BB58-3DCEDB196F1C

Handle  983746".

So, it shows the Control Id, Class and Handle.  Try saying that Class real 
fast.  Bet you can't.

 

When I use Alt+Tab to cycle through my open programs, I don't land on this 
Overlay Window; even when I've opened it from the window list.

 

Do any of you JAWS experts have an explanation for this Overlay window?

 

 

Thanks,

 

Reed

Re: [JAWS-Users] Cannot run latest Jaws update file

[Jim Flusche]

The insert+Tab, repeats the control and its current setting in the settings 
area of W-10 with Jaws. Think of it as a Jaws repeat keystroke for the 
highlighted item on the screen. In the settings area you open a combo box with 
ALT+Down arrow, use the arrow key to find a different choice, press Enter to 
select the new choice and close the combo box.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Windows Defender

[Jim Flusche]

Yes, the windows defender security center in the Creators update, is a lot more 
complex. But honestly, it takes care of itself very well. Just run it from time 
to time, if you miss the sound notification, press Windows key+A, for the 
action center and down arrow and hear the results of the scan.

read below.

1. Press the Windows key+I, For the Settings area search edit box, Tab one time.
2. Press the Right arrow key to Apps, press the Spacebar, Tab one time.
3. You land on Apps & Features, this Tab is already highlighted for you, begin 
by Tabbing one time.
4. You will hear, Choose where you can get apps from. Installing only apps from

You have to enable "Install Apps from Anywhere."

Press [Windows key]+[i]. Hit the [Tab] key once. Now [Right Arrow] until you 
hear "Apps" then hit [Enter]. You're now in the "Apps and Features" treeview 
option, so simply [Tab] twice to "Choose where you can get apps from" and use 
the arrow keys to select "Install Apps from Anywhere."

Now JAWS doesn't seem to read the options in this listbox at all, so you will 
need to [Arrow down or up] one time to change options, [Tab] once and then 
[Shift]+[Tab] once to hear your selection. The JAWS [Insert]+[Tab] key for 
reading the listbox selection once changed doesn't work for me.

Hope this helps.

[JAWS-Users] New computer, Creators update

[Jim Flusche]

Good evening Jaws users group. I have a new computer I wanted to let you know 
about. At first, I was not sure how Jaws would work with a hybrid drive. But 
Jaws 18 works fantastic with one. I finally upgraded the new computer today to 
the creators update. Read the computer information below, before now I always 
used an Acer computer. But this Lenovo start fast. After pressing the power 
button in about 4 or 5 seconds, Jaws comes up talking on the pin log-in screen. 
I bought this desktop on sale at best buy for $579, this was a bargan.
Name: Lenovo-710-25ISH Desktop (ideacentre)
System
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6400 CPU @ 2.70GHz 2.71 GHz
Installed memory (RAM): 8.00 GB
System type: 64-bit Operating System, x64-based processor
This has a one TB of storage, regular Sodda drive.
This also has a 8 GB's SSD drive.
They call it a hybred drive.
Having the SSD drive allows for fast start up, very fast.
They work together, when doing a big task, information is dumped to the SSD 
drive, and than converted back to the regular drive.
This is the best way I can explain it.
The computer works fantastic and the computer is very quick.
I highly recommend this computer to anyone who is looking for a new computer. 
Smiles.

[JAWS-Users] How to use office sounds if you just have 2016 versions of Outlook and word

[Jim Flusche]

Good evening Jaws list. When I refreshed my PC, I decided to leave word 2010 
off of my computer for now. But I could not stand to not have any office sounds 
in outlook 2016 or in word 2016. So after doing some searching and playing 
around with the below steps, I finally figured out how to get the office sounds 
working if you are just using the latest Outlook or word without any prior 
office versions on your computer.
Warning, first go to file explorer options, view tab, change to allow hidden 
folders, tab to the OK button, press enter.
Now go and download the office sounds from the Microsoft website.
1.Run sounds.exe - it will give you an error message.  Don't click 
this error message away.
Just leave the error message opened on your computer.
With the error message still up, go to your AppData folder (HDD:\Users\**Your 
username**\appdata\local\temp, and search for sounds.msi, and run it with
Admin rights.
*This is where I was confused for a minute.
Go to users/your users name/appdata/local/temp.
Press Control+E, for the search edit, type, sounds.msi, press enter.
Now tab until you here the full path of the sound.exe file,
This will sound something like this, sounds.msi 
C:\Users\pi***nppData\Local\Temp\IXP000.TMP Windows Installer Package 
‎5/‎25/‎1999 ‏‎2:30 PM 638 KB.
Now just press enter here on this long path name.
Say yes to users account, the office sounds install dialog will now come up for 
you.
Follow all the prompts, after the sounds.exe finishes installing the sounds, 
close this window and the open error message window message you left open.
*Step two.
• Follow my directions, I just opened up word 2016 and did the 
following.
1.Press ALT+F, followed by the letter T, for word options.
2.Go to the advanced tab.
3.Faster to Shift+Tab, and go to, Provide feedback with sound 
checkbox.
4.I pressed the spacebar to check it, tab to the OK button, press 
enter.
5.Now close word 2016, open it again, you should have sounds.
6. Go back to file explorer options, change it back to, don't allow hidden 
folders, tab to OK, press enter.
7.This is fantastic, I finally have my sounds back in outlook 2016 
and word 2016, with no prior word products installed on my computer.

[JAWS-Users] Microsoft Planning to End Support for Standalone Versions of Office by 2020

[Jim Flusche]

Microsoft Planning to End Support for Standalone Versions of Office by 2020
banner end
Andre Da Costa
| April 26, 2017 in
How-To

The future of Microsoft Office is
subscriptions.
That sums up what the company confirmed recently in a blog post notifying users 
about its plans to
wind down support for standalone versions
 of Office aka perpetual licenses; which want to connect to its Office 365 
cloud services. That means versions such as Office 2010, 2013 and 2016 will
no longer be able to access O365 cloud services such as Exchange Online, 
Sharepoint Online, OneDrive for Business or Skype for Business by October 2020.

The company is not ending development of perpetual versions of the suite, but 
users will need to move to the latest versions in order to access all of
Microsoft's O365 Cloud services. For example, Office 2016 which was launched in 
September 2015 will have its mainstream support end in 2020. So, if you
don't cut over to a Microsoft Office subscription by then, it will no longer be 
supported to connect to Microsoft's cloud services.

Microsoft Winding Down Support for Perpetual Versions of Office

One of the key benefits of Office 365 versus Office 2016 is the ongoing 
delivery of new features and functionality. Office 2016 Professional Plus has 
pretty
much stood still since its 2015 release, receiving only security updates. 
Office 365, on the other hand, has received numerous improvements and features
such as improved collaboration, business intelligence enhancements in Excel and 
Motion Path in PowerPoint. For many users, the standalone suite remains
attractive, especially for organizations that need control over access to 
features in the suite. Here is what Microsoft's Ron Markezich had to say about
the changes ahead.

block quote
When customers connect to Office 365 with a legacy version of Office, they're 
not enjoying all that the service has to offer. The IT benefits-particularly
security-are cut short. And the end user experience in the apps is limited to 
the features shipped at a point in time. To ensure that customers are getting
the most out of their Office 365 subscription, we are updating our
system requirements.

list of 3 items
* Office 365 ProPlus or Office perpetual in mainstream support required to 
connect to Office 365 services. Starting October 13, 2020, Office 365 ProPlus
or Office perpetual in mainstream support will be required to connect to Office 
365 services. Office 365 ProPlus will deliver the best experience, but
for customers who aren't ready to move to the cloud by 2020, we will also 
support connections from Office perpetual in mainstream support.
* Applies to Office 365 commercial services only. This update does not change 
our system requirements or support policies for the Office perpetual clients,
Office perpetual clients connecting to on-premises servers, or any consumer 
services.
* More than three years' notice. We're providing more than three years' notice 
to give IT time to plan and budget for this change. Until this new requirement
goes into effect in 2020, Office 2010, Office 2013 and Office 2016 perpetual 
clients will still be able to connect to Office 365 services.
Source
list end
block quote end

Office 365 repair 9
Save

Users can read further details about the changes at the company's
Tech Community website.
Microsoft is slowly nudging users to move to Office 365, which actually offers 
greater value in the long run by being cheaper up front, plus it's continually
updated with new features and flexible deployment options. Three years is ample 
notice, especially for versions such as Office 2010, which would have been
expected to stop receiving support by 2020.

The dream of Office as a service goes back as far as Office 2003 when Microsoft 
had originally planned to offer its suite as a subscription, but the market
wasn't ready. Office 365, first launched in 2011 has evolved over the years to 
become a consistent revenue generator for the software firm. The rest of
the industry has followed suit, brands such as AutoDesk, Adobe, and Intuit have 
also moved their business models to subscriptions.

Four Ways You Can Still Open the Control Panel in Windows 10

How-To

The classic Control Panel, which has been a part of
Windows since version 3.0,
is finally in its sunset years. With each revision of Windows 10, Microsoft is 
slowly deprecating many of the items found in Control Panel and replacing
them with modern interfaces found in the new Settings app. The Settings app has 
almost superseded Control Panel, but there are still a few tasks that you
can only perform from Control Panel. The latest revision called the
Creators Update,
takes it even further, adding new categories for
managing Apps
and
changing Themes,
among other changes. If you need to access the Control Panel in Windows 10 for 
one of the holdout settings, or if you just prefer the classic Control Panel
interface, here's how you get to it.

Find the Old Control Panel in Windows 10

Its absence from the
Power menu
is the latest sign that the Control Panel is on its way out. When you press 
Windows key + X, you will now find only the Settings menu. The Control Panel
is still around, just hidden from view.

Save

The first method you can use to launch it is the run command. Press Windows key 
+ R then type: control then hit Enter. Voila, the Control Panel is back;
you can right-click on it, then click Pin to Taskbar for convenient access.

Save

Another way you can access the Control Panel is from within File Explorer. 
Clicking in the Address Bar provides a quick link to Control Panel and other
locations.

Save

Search is another way you can find it. Click Start, type: control panel then 
hit Enter.

Save

You can also add a shortcut to Control Panel on the desktop. Open Start > 
Settings > Personalization > Themes, under Related Settings, click Desktop icon
settings. Check the box for Control Panel, click Apply then OK.

Save

There you have it, the Control Panel is back!

[JAWS-Users] Installing office sounds without previous versions of word installed on your computer

Good afternoon Jaws Users group. When I refreshed my PC, I decided to leave

Say yes to users account, the office sounds install dialog will now come up for 
you.
Follow all the prompts, close this window and the open error message window 
message you left open.
*Step two.
After this installation completes, go into Office or Word, and disable the 
option "Provide feedback with sound" if already checked, close your app, reload
and re-enable it.  If already enabled, just enable it, other words, just press 
the spacebar, make sure it is checked, tab to OK, press enter.

  *   Follow my directions, I just opened up word 2016 and did the following.

  1.  Press ALT+F, followed by the letter T, for word options.
  2.  Go to the advanced tab.
  3.  Faster to Shift+Tab, and go to, Provide feedback with sound checkbox.
  4.  I pressed the spacebar to uncheck, and pressed the spacebar to check it

  5.  Now close word 2016, open it again, you should have sounds.
  6.  This is fantastic, I finally have my sounds back in outlook 2016 and word

Take a look at your Privacy settings. I was noticing the same thing. 
Had to go in there and turn off everything that Microsoft took it upon 
themselves to turn on. My PC now loads quickly again.

Also make sure to checkout your WiFi network settings. Windows has a service 
that turns your PC into a server to transfer updates to other Windows users 
behind the scenes. Upi definitely want to disable it.

Will the update for the  creator automatically be a part of the windows update?

Good morning Jaws users list, I was finally able to get the refresh this PC, to 
work for me. I tried this feature out several times a year ago, I could not get 
it to work for me. But lo-and-behold, it worked this time. I chose to keep my 
files. So after waiting for 90 minutes or so, I was on the log-in screen. Of 
course the refresh feature removed more than 20 programs and apps on my 
computer including all Freedom Scientific products, all the Jaws versions, the 
F S reader and much more. The benefit of doing a refresh, it reloads the 
windows operating system files new and fresh. So I had to turn off all live 
tiles and remove them from start. I had to uninstall all unwanted apps. I had 
to turn off all the background apps that I did not want turned on. I had to 
install Jaws and put my authorization code back into the Jaws activate window. 
I had to download and set up my office 365 again, I had to set up my outlook 
2016 email accounts again. LOL. But I believe this has fixed the issues I
  encountered after trying to manually update to the creators update and 
failing to do so. So hopefully with any luck, my computer will get updated to 
the creators update when it comes to my computer. I have learned my lesson, no 
more manually trying to update to the creators update, I will just wait. So if 
any of you decide to use this refresh your PC feature in W-10, know you will 
have to reinstall Jaws and much more. Read below and see what all was removed 
on my computer after I successfully completed the refresh my PC process.

[JAWS-Users] Changes in the settings area of W-10 after today's Jaws 18 update

[Jim Flusche]

Hi group. Using the latest Jaws 18 update of today. There are now Changes in 
the way Jaws speaks in the settings area of W-10.

  1.  Now after pressing Windows key+I, you land in the search edit box, if you 
type something to look for, just press the down arrow key to see a list of 
results.
  2.  The settings area now reads correctly with Jaws as you tab through all 
the controls, you will just hear the current control and its settings.
  3.  Tip, you must now use the touch curser to hear, you computer is up to 
date, last checked, bla, bla.
  4.  Because they finally fixed Jaws 18 to correctly read the settings area, 
you must now use the touch curser to hear the status.
Remember to use the touch curser, to use the touch cursor, press Shift+PC 
cursor, on the num pad, press the PC cursor two times quickly to go back to the 
regular PC cursor. I hope this helps you all. Smiles.

Your humble pinhead!
Owner of the W-10 and Jaws Yahoo group! Smiles.
