[JAWS-Users] excel 2007

[John W. Carty]

I'm using jaws 13 and excel 2007.

The key strokes insert-ctrl-alt-c & insert-ctrl-alt-r set column and row titles 
on.

Once done navigating the spreadsheet with the arrow keys announce the column or 
row you're in.

My question is:

Once these settings are turned on how do I turn them off?

Thanx,

All,

 

JAWS version 13.0.527 is now available via the Automatic Update feature.
If you currently have the build 303 installed, shutting down JAWS and
restarting it should find the notification that the update is available.

 

The list of changes is below.

 

Regards,

Enhancements in JAWS 13.0.527 (November 2011)


The following is a list of items addressed or added between the final
JAWS 13.0.303 release and the JAWS 13.0.527 posting. 


JAWS


*   Resolved an issue encountered on some systems when updating
authorization to JAWS 13. After updating authorization, you may need to
restart JAWS in order for it to take affect.
*   Resolved a long-standing issue where it was sometimes necessary
to reboot the computer in order to use JAWS if the application
unexpectedly closed.
*   Resolved an issue where the braille cursor was not positioned as
expected in edit fields when using Structured Mode.
*   The Primary and Secondary language for Convenient OCR can now be
changed through Quick Settings (INSERT+V).
*   Documentation is now available describing the latest
improvements in the JAWS scripting language. For more information, visit
the Enhancements in Scripting
  Web page.
*   If more than one command prompt window is open, addressed an
issue where JAWS would continue reading text from one command prompt
window even after changing focus to the other.
*   Resolved an issue with Contracted English Braille translation
where the number sign was not appearing directly before the number if
the number was proceeded by a quote and a comma.
*   If the Results Viewer and Virtual Viewer are open at the same
time, resolved an issue where pressing ESC would close both viewers.
*   Addressed an issue where JAWS was not playing a sound to
identify checked items in some dialog boxes even if the current speech
and sounds scheme was configured to do so.
*   Resolved an issue turning off the "read only" announcement in a
speech and sounds scheme.
*   If you are using a braille display, JAWS no longer goes into
Line Mode when renaming a file or folder.
*   In applications where JAWS can announce indented text, resolved
an issue where JAWS was not speaking indentation information when using
the Say Line command (INSERT+UP ARROW).
*   Pressing ALT+UP ARROW in the help text in Settings Center and
Quick Settings now reads the prior sentence.
*   Resolved an issue with PAC Mate Desktop not starting correctly.
*   The Study Mode option is now only available if you are using a
braille display that has a double row of cursor router and navrow
buttons, such as the PAC Mate Portable Braille Display, or the Focus 40,
Focus 80, and Focus 40 Blue braille displays. Study Mode is located
under Braille Options in Quick Settings.
*   The Current Word Expand option is now only available in Quick
Settings when contracted braille translation is set to Output only.
*   In the Startup Wizard, the Enable Flash Messages check box and
Contracted Braille Translation combo box now have INSERT+F1 help.
*   Addressed issues that could occur when installing JAWS 13 while
JAWS 12 and MAGic 11 are currently running.
*   Resolved an issue where nothing is heard when navigating to a
visited link and the current speech and sounds scheme is configured to
play a sound.


JAWS Research It


*   Resolved an issue where the Results Viewer was blank if Research
It did not find any results for a search. A message is now displayed if
no results are found.
*   The NCAA lookup source now returns all division 1-A scores and
schedules. Previously, only the top 25 was displayed. In addition, if
you search for a particular team, both division 1-A and 1-AA are
searched.
*   Addressed issues with the Weather lookup source when checking
the weather for international locations.


Adobe Acrobat


*   Resolved an issue with JAWS not announcing edit combo boxes in
certain PDF documents while navigating with the ARROW keys.


Eclipse


*   Addressed an issue where Eclipse would unexpectedly close when
opening and closing the menu.


Microsoft Excel


*   When you press an access key in the spell checker to move to the
next error, JAWS no longer speaks the access key you just pressed while
reading the current error.
*   Addressed a reported issue in Excel 2003 and Windows XP where
the Undo option was not working as expected.
*   Addressed an issue in Excel 2010 where JAWS would speak the
tutor message each time an option in the Fill tab of 

[JAWS-Users] jaws and excel

[John W. Carty]

I'm using the latest build of jaws 12 and excel 2007.

Jaws refuses to announce the "=" sing within a cell formula no matter where I 
set the punctuation setting including "all"

What must I do?

[JAWS-Users] update

[John W. Carty]

I just installed jaws 12.0.1167 and now I'm having several problems.

First, with an open browser session I can alt-tab away to another open app and 
alt-tab back and jaws will fail to load browse mode unless I press insert-esc 
to refresh.

Second, when I open excel no excel settings are loaded. Pressing insert-q 
announces default settings are loaded.

I cannot navigate excel and only hear numbers in sequence such as 1, 2, 3, etc 
as I arrow up and down.

Can anyone direct me toward a solution?

Thanx,

John

[JAWS-Users] outlook 2007 & 2010

[John W. Carty]

I'm using jaws 12 on two different machines. One machine has outlook 2007 and 
the other is using outlook 2010.

I know the key strokes are different for each version but how do I view email 
in the browser?

I need to know the keystrokes for each version of outlook.

thanx,

John

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws, colors and spreadsheets

[John W. Carty]

Stephan,

You may solve your problem with insert-alt-s which brings up a menu of schemes 
to choose from. You might want to select colors. Experiment.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Jaws, colors and spreadsheets

All:

I often have to work with and analyze spreadsheets where different colors are
used to categorize data.  While it's certainly possible to identify colors in
an individual cell, the process is slow, cumbersome and tedious.  So, is
there a way to have JAWS automatically speak colors while you're arrowing
through a spreadsheet or other document?  Hopefully, JAWS would use a voice
that's different from the normal reading voice to do this.

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

[JAWS-Users] question

[John W. Carty]

I'm using win7-64bit ult, jaws 12 64-bit and word 2010.

I've got an assignment where I must read thru a word document and highlight 
specific words as if I was using a highlight pen.

I can achieve this by going into the menu home, font, highlight, then select my 
desired color. Then as I read thru the document I can use ctrl-shift-right 
arrow to select the word or words to be highlighted then I can press ctrl-alt-h 
to highlight it.

Using the tools listed above this works properly.

This is my question.

Once I get the proper words highlighted:

How can I get jaws to identify the highlighted words as I read thru the 
document?

I'm not referring to insert-5 which reads the highlight color once I've 
positioned the cursor.

I need to have jaws identify the words during regularly reading.

Thanx,

John

[JAWS-Users] visual studio

[John W. Carty]

I've been a long time 3270 programmer mostly cobol/cics. Now my employer is 
moving me to microsoft visual studio where I'm suppose to learn visual basic 
and sequel server.

I'm using jaws 12.

My shop is currently using visual studio 2008 but we'll be moving to 2010 at 
some point in the future.

What version of visual studio works best with jaws?

Are there specific scripts I need to load?

If so, where can I get these scripts?

Are there any specific setup I need for visual studio?

This is pretty urgent since I'm suppose to be assigned a new project in a 
couple of weeks.

Thanx,

Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS 12 rocks!

[John W. Carty]

I've been a long time jaws user and 3270 programmer. I've frequently had these 
issues with numerous versions of jaws dating back many years. The best solution 
I developed this was to experiment with different fonts to find the least 
effected choice, then I wrote jaws scripts that controlled all effected 
navigation keystrokes and placed pauses in the scripts to allow jaws to speak 
properly.

This is just an idea so I hope the concept helps.

I wish I could say the same.
But I still have the annoying issues when using the Console (Cygwin) and 
ssh into my Linux servers.
JAWS fails to read the Console properly.
This has been an issue since JAWS 11.

This makes it harder for me to do my job since I spend most of my time 
in the Console.

JAWS is not reading the correct character when using the left/right arrows.
Most of the time JAWS speaks the previous character and some times skips 
the character where the cursor is located.
Same goes for moving by lines.
I use the up/down arrows but JAWS is reading the previous line and also 
skips some lines entirely.

Is there anything special I need to do to skype for jaws to operate properly?

Do I need specific jaws scripts?

I understand there's some generic scripts called skypetalking, will I need

I'm using win xp s3 and a handy tech easy Braille display. I just installed the

For the first time I now have four status cells at the left of my display. I 
don't use status cells usually so I went into the config manager and tried 
setting this option to none and when this failed to change the output I 
attempted to move the status cells to the right. This also failed.

Did fs produce a new handy tech driver or what?

Hello all.  This question is probably better asked in  the Blind-Computing

For those who are currently running Windows7, what email  client are you
using.  I'm planning to upgrade soon, so, I might as well  get use to using
something
other than Outlook Express and/or Windows  Mail. 

I sincerely hope the answer is not Windows Live Mail.
