Re: [JAWS-Users] [EXTERNAL] The many JAWS issues (UNCLASSIFIED)
Classification: UNCLASSIFIED Caveats: NONE I think Maria's two cents is worth a lot of consideration. As an example, a couple days ago I could not get the edit fields to work in Excel 2007. I unloaded Jaws 16 and ran an earlier version that I know worked just fine with Excel, but no luck. I called FS Tech Support and they said it was the shared components that were causing the problem. The suggestion was to uninstall JAWS 16 along with the shared components and then reinstall 16 from FS's site. Now, I'm sure this is a good plan, but in my situation I have to go through a lengthy and difficult process to get admin rights to do this stuff, and the time it takes to uninstall and reinstall etc. is not what I'd call a productive use of resources. My boss understands this stuff, so I'm fortunate in that respect, but I'm sure that there are a lot of workplaces out there where wasting employer's time would be seriously frowned upon. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Maria Campbell Sent: Thursday, January 15, 2015 10:20 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [EXTERNAL] [JAWS-Users] The many JAWS issues This is only speculation on my part of course. However, even though each big upgrade of JAWS is a separate program, they share components. As each program is removed or newly installed, I believe these shared components get corrupted at some point, creating the many issues discussed on the list. I, for one, never know whether or not to leave or remove shared components with each new upgrade. My issue with JAWS 16 is that it never installed with default settings, but rather looks as if it merged with God knows whit version of JAWS on my computer. It seems to me that FS should figure out how to keep each version from affecting another.

Re: [JAWS-Users] [EXTERNAL] Re: Amazon (UNCLASSIFIED)
Classification: UNCLASSIFIED Caveats: NONE I've been finding more and more instances where buttons don't work correctly. Sometimes, if you have a display, you can use a routing button to replicate pressing a button, sometimes you can route and reroute the JAWS cursor, and sometimes, you can use either the left or right click keys. It's very frustrating when after entering a bunch of information you get to the submit button and can't press it. Hopefully the folks at FS will take a look at this and fix it in a future update. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Mike Boyd Sent: Thursday, October 09, 2014 1:31 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] [EXTERNAL] Re: Amazon Just last night I pressed enter on the Proceed to Checkout button on the regular Amazon site, and got nothingg.

[JAWS-Users] Accessibility of BitLocker (UNCLASSIFIED)
Classification: UNCLASSIFIED Caveats: NONE Does anyone have experience using the Data at rest program Bitlocker? Many DAR programs are not accessible since they run before JAWS can be started, but BitLocker is a native Windows application, so there's a chance it might be accessible.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Bill Pay (UNCLASSIFIED)
Classification: UNCLASSIFIED Caveats: NONE Trish: Last Fall, my Credit Union upgraded it's online banking procedures supposedly to comply with some of the new Federal Statutes. Basically, it became impossible for me to use their online website for paying bills. I don't even really know what the site was doing, but the screen was not static and I couldn't do data entry after the first payment. Fortunately, the credit union also has a mobile site, and that works fine for most of what I need, so you might think about trying a mobile site if they have one. There are perhaps going to be things you can't do except by using their main site, but you might well be able to at least pay bills if my experience is any guide. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Trish Sent: Tuesday, July 02, 2013 11:11 AM To: jaws Subject: [JAWS-Users] Bill Pay Does anyone on list do bill pay from their bank or credit union?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Microsoft Sharepoint (UNCLASSIFIED)
Classification: UNCLASSIFIED Caveats: NONE SharePoint is simply a way of storing documents etc, and it's not inherently inaccesssible. However, how accessible it is depends on what kinds of information you're trying to access and what views are employed by whoever created the site and the documents themselves. I'm currently working through a situation where JAWS absolutely does not present major pieces of pages I need to access on a regular basis. I've spoken to Freedom Scientific about SharePoint, and they understand it has accessibility problems but claim they can't address them. So, bottom line is maybe it'll work for you, maybe it won't. Sometimes, you can export spreadsheets etc. and work on them using something like Excel, then import them back into SharePoint. Good luck, you'll likely need a lot of it. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Hicks Steven (CORNWALL IT SERVICES) Sent: Wednesday, March 27, 2013 3:38 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] Microsoft Sharepoint Does anyone use Microsoft Sharepoint with JAWS that can tell me if it is accessible or not please?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Accessing Embedded Attachments with JAWS, A Work-a-Round (UNCLASSIFIED)
Classification: UNCLASSIFIED Caveats: NONE Very well presented. I've had occasional problems with this, so the instructions are helpful. Thanks much. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Annette Carr Sent: Thursday, March 14, 2013 4:15 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] Accessing Embedded Attachments with JAWS, A Work-a-Round Recently there was a discussion I believe on this list about the problem of not being able to access e-mail attachments that are embedded in the body of an e-mail instead of being attached in the header. I do not remember seeing a solution to this problem, so I am sharing instructions that I have recently came up with to address this issue. When you can't find an attachment that you know has been attached to an e-mail, most likely the problem is that the document is embedded in the body of the message. This happens when the message is created in Rich Tex Format (RTF). JAWS is unable to find documents when they are attached in this manner. If you follow the below steps, you will be able to access the attachment. 1.Open the e-mail with the embedded attachment. 2. Use Control+f to forward the e-mail with the attachment. 3. Type your e-mail address in the To field and press Enter. 4. Press and release the Alt key to activate the ribbon. 5. Use the Right and/or Left arrows key to navigate to the Format Text tab. 6. Press the Down arrow once to move to the Lower Ribbon. 7. Press the Tab key 5 times to get to the Format Group Box. 8. Use the Up and Down arrows to navigate through the 3 buttons, HTML, Plain Text and Rich Text. Note that JAWS announces that the Rich Text Format button is pressed. This confirms that the problem is that the attachment is embedded in the body of the message instead of attached in the header. a. If you select HTML by pressing Enter when you are focused on it, you will be returned to your message and you can Tab through the header and find that the document is now attached in the traditional way and JAWS can now find it. b. If you select Plain Text by pressing enter when you are focused on it, you might encounter a dialog box letting you know that some features are not supported and asked if you want to continue. Tab to continue and press Enter. You are returned to your message and you can Tab through the header and find that the document is now attached in the traditional way and JAWS can now find it. 9. Use the Alt+s command to send the message. 10. Once you receive the message you can use your Up or Down arrows to navigate to the new message, and press enter to open it. 11. Use Shift+Tab to move to the attachment field in the header. 12. Use the Right arrow to navigate to the actual attachment and press Enter to open it. NOTE: If you anticipate only needing to read this document only this one time, you do not need to actually send the message to yourself. Skip adding your e-mail address and just tab to the attachment and open it.

Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS and headphones. (UNCLASSIFIED)
Classification: UNCLASSIFIED Caveats: NONE Dan, first a caveat: We use IP communicator software so laptops function as telephones on VOIP. I have a Dynex headset that is very comfortable and has one earpiece, so I can still maintain my situational awareness and communicate with others. And obviously, the Synth and phone are played through the single earpiece. Because many new laptops we have no longer have microphone inputs, ours are USB headsets. Not sure this helps but there you are. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Dan Rossi Sent: Thursday, January 24, 2013 12:57 PM To: JAWS Users Subject: [JAWS-Users] JAWS and headphones. I realize this isn't directly related to JAWS, but there are more members on this list, using a screen reader than almost any other. Plus, many folks on this list appear to be professionals, so may have some unique input on this question. Does anyone use a headset that can both receive input from the computer, and from the telephone? IE, so you can hear your screen reader and talk on the phone. I used a rig like this many years ago, but haven't in a long time. That rig had the synth in one ear, and the phone in the other ear. Personally, I would prefer to have the synth and phone in both ears. Especially if I were using the headset all day for screen reading, and only occasionally using the phone. Barring that, does anyone have any experience with wireless headsets for use with the computer output. I am tired of getting tangled up in my headphone cord. I've been reading about many of them, but it is difficult to know how a set of headphones will feel after 8 or 9 hours on your head. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- Blue skies.

Using Jaws 13 and Microsoft Office 2000 Professional. When working in Excel I can define row titles that I want Jaws to read by going to the column containing the relevant row titles and pressing INSERT+CTRL+ALT+R. Similarly, I can define column titles to be read by Jaws by going to the relevant row and pressing INSERT+CTRL+ALT+C. However, these key combinations require somewhat tortuous digital gymnastics. In Jaws 12 there was an easier way to do these jobs. This was through the Adjust Jaws Settings dialog box (Insert+V). Turning now to Jaws 13, The Jaws 13 Help contains the following statement: (Quote) Defining Row and Column Titles. Before JAWS can read the titles of cells within a spreadsheet, you must specify which columns and/or rows contain those titles. To define row titles, move to the column containing the row titles and press INSERT+CTRL+ALT+R. To define column titles, move to the row containing the column titles and press INSERT+CTRL+ALT+C. Tip: You can also press INSERT+V to use Quick Settings to define row and column titles. (Unquote) Contrary to the above Tip, I can't find anything in the Jaws 13 Quick Settings that enables me to set row and column titles like I could do in the Jaws 12 Adjust Jaws Settings dialog box.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Reading a pdf document with more than 1 column
Greg: If I understand, you basically want one column of text, is that right? So, one way you might get this to work would be to use a scanning program like Openbook to do OCR on your .pdf document. You would: open your .pdf document. Do a control-P to print select your scanner's import printer and hit enter. If your scanning program is set to recognize columns, you should get what you're looking for. William S.

David: I really don't know what the cost is, it's available through our Enterprise package. It's necessary to have your phone system using VOIp. The primary reason I had it installed is that you only need to use one headset to both use the telephone and work with JAWS in other applications, and you can do that simultaneously. Incidentally, I found a Cos single stereo earpiece and boom microphone online for something like $16, so if anybody's in need of something like that, let me know. William S.

Re: [JAWS-Users] My cheap way of writing checks
Tom: Thanks for sharing this. Another possible benefit to doing this the way you are is that there's no magnetic writing on your copied checks, which means they can't be sorted by machine, which means they take longer to clear, which means that you can write checks on the come as we used to say. Writing some Braille characters along the magnetic strip will also defeat the mechanized sorting. I write very few checks in a given month, and I have a very old (1950s vintage) Odhner Fascet portable manual typewriter I use for check-writing which is very easy once you get the rowe and column stuff figured out.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Check writing Software
I also use online banking extensively, but occasionally, I employ day laborers or very small contractors who might not even have a regular address.

Deanne: Thanks for reminding of this. One of the reports I have to generate pretty frequently requires me to gather data from several Excel spreadsheets. And, the easiest way to do that for this particular report is to use the append to clipboard feature in Excel, then dump the results of this aggregation into another document. The append to clipboard feature has been deliberately disabled in JAWS 11, and I have to run JAWS 10 to accomplish what I need to. This is doable, but is a waste of my time.

However, I do have an idea of what you can do. Open your favorite text editor. Open the global address book that you are having trouble with and copy one of the addresses, then try to paste that address into a text file. This should let you know if it is allowing Jaws / your system to copy and paste the address. While I was in school, they switched to an online email program. Whenever I tried to copy the instructor's email from the message, Jaws would read that the address was copied, but when I pasted the address there was always extra data in the pasted address. As a work around I always pasted the address into a text editor to clean it up before I used it in the email program. If you have to cc many different people, it may be helpful to copy the address one by one paste them into a text file, clean them up and add the comma separating the addresses and then paste them all at one time into the intended message.

Re: [JAWS-Users] office 2007
David: my understanding is that JAWS 11 has a lot more support for 2007 than previous versions. This would be particularly important if we're talking about Microsoft Access. William S.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Who Needs JAWS 12 Anyway?
NBP has a book with keyboard shortcuts for 2007. If memory serves there's one for Word, Outlook, Excel and Powerpoint, or you can buy the whole set as a download or on a CD. William S.

One of the new features mentioned in the JAWS 12 preview I posted yesterday is a virtual ribbon option that will emulate the classic menus in Office 2003 while retaining the ribbon menu structure everyone loves to hate. For those of you who do not plan to upgrade to JAWS 12, I just discovered a great little app called Ubit Menu that adds the classic Office 2003 menus to the Office 2007/10 ribbon menu. Once you download and install this app, you bring up the ribbon menu by pressing Alt, right arrow to the Menu tab and hit Enter. Then you can tab and shift tab through the various classic 2003 menu options for Word, Excel and Power Point. It works well with JAWS 9, and does not disrupt the existing ribbon menu structure in any way. So you can have your cake and eat it too; classic Office 2003 menus, or the newer and more frustrating Office 2007/10 ribbon menus. So who needs JAWS 12 anyway? Besides, Ubit Menu is availabel now, so you don't have to wait for JAWS 12 to be released. http://www.ubit.ch/software/ubitmenu-languages/ Gerald For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
