[JAWS-Users] Renaming a control
I've been poking around in the help topics and can't find the command that allows the re classing of a non-standard control. Although I'd like to know what the command is, I'd appreciate just as much knowing what I should type in the search.

[JAWS-Users] Kindle books
Several months ago Eric D. sent out an announcement concerning Amazon Kindle books accessibility with JFW. There was a property in the book to be checked before purchase that needed to be there and I simply don't remember. Does anyone out there know?

[JAWS-Users] Jart configuration
I'd like to confirm a couple of understandings about Jart. #1 it will open and work with docx files? #2 the command "screenreader mode" must be on the clipboard to make it work optimally with Jaws? also if I do get it to work in screenreader mode, do I need to have that command on the clipboard before I start the program each time, or does it remember as I would expect.

[JAWS-Users] serious xm radio
Is anyone successfully streaming serious xm radio on their computer? The last time I looked, their cite was a disaster and not worth trying to figure out but that was a couple of years ago. I'm not quite ready to plunk down money to fiddle around unless I know that someone else is having some success.

Re: [JAWS-Users] clipboard and Google Chrome
I also tried and what happened is that it started in the correct place but essentially copied to the end of the page.

Try this, go to the Bard site pick out a book and then try to copy the description of the book. It doesn't seem to copy, instead what you will have copied is the number of books that are listed on the page or something like that. In any event you will not have copied the description of the book you were trying to copy. You cannot copy the description using ctrl shift right arrow to select it one word at a time and then ctrl C to copy the selected text. Neither can you place a marker at the title which is the first of the description you want to copy and then placing an m at the end of the description to complete the block to be copied and then pressing ctrl C to copy it. Try it it doesn't work. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Adrian Spratt Sent: Friday, November 17, 2017 5:30 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] clipboard and Google Chrome Steve, This is useful information, but I believe you need to correct it in two ways. In step 2, here you're selecting, not copying, text. It's important because you can do other things with selected text besides copying. In step 4, I believe the "append to clipboard" command, a JAWS function, is JAWS key+Windows key+c. As you know, control-v is MS's paste command. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Steve Sent: Thursday, November 16, 2017 11:37 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] clipboard and Google Chrome Doesn't setting a temporary placemarker method work for you, Terry? 1. Go to the top (or bottom) of the text you want to copy, and set a temp placemarker with windows-control-k. 2. Go to the end of the text you want to copy and press the dual-layer keystroke insert-space then the letter M to copy between the placemarker and the marked point where your virtual cursor is located. 3. Press Control-C to copy to the clipboard. 4. If you want to append additional stuff to the clipboard, do the same thing as above, except instead of copying the marked selection to the clipboard control-C, use control-V instead.

[JAWS-Users] word 207 problems
I'm using word 207 and very recently have found that word documents are sluggish and even highly problematic to edit using Jaws 18. I did talk with a couple of tech support people at vfw, we installed the latest version of JFW and though it made things a bit better it didn't really solve the problem. I do not reliably get character echo when using the arrow keys and often cannot hear a line read. I'm just wondering if anyone else out there is using office 207 with word in windows 10 and having issues with the latest version of Jaws.

[JAWS-Users] Labeling buttons
I'm trying to remember what Jaws calls it when you provide a label for a button or other control that hasn't been named properly and thus doesn't speak. I think I saw it once but can't think of the word to locate it in the help system. Could someone please remind me?

[JAWS-Users] NFL Game pass
Curious as to if anyone else out there uses the NFL game pass. They've changed things a lot to make it work better with phones and other devices making getting archived audio a lot harder. I've completely failed to make it work thus far but this has often been their history with improvements later. If anyone else has had some success with this year's iteration as it is I'd like to know. I've left a comment and hope it isn't the only won. Terry Chaney P. S. using Jaws 18, windows 10 and Firefox.

[JAWS-Users] Kindle with Jaws
I tried typing Kindle into the search box on the jaws cite and struck out. Could someone please give me an idea of where I need to go to learn more about this from a jfw perspective? I've been able to open books in Kindle, hit a button on the table of contents and then have a non-Jaws voice begin to read the entry. I understood that I was supposed to be able to access the text of the book using Jaws, and also had the option of working with that text for things like citations. If I'm misunderstanding the possibilities I'd also appreciate knowing Terry Chaney For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/

[JAWS-Users] Proofing documents
I'm trying to figure out how to change the punctuation levels temporarily so that I can proof a document.
