[JAWS-Users] Jaws error after upgrading to windows10
Hi list, I upgraded from windows7 to windows10 back on Tuesday. I used the FS uninstall tool prior to upgrading. Which removed my older versions of Jaws and left me with both Jaws16 and Jaws17. For the most part Jaws does seem to be working okay. However, I keep getting the following error message. "the Freedom Scientific accessibility display driver is not installed". It tells me to reboot my system(which I have tried). And it also suggests to run a repair on Jaws. So in order to do that. I thought I would just run the Jaws17 installer again. However, I am lost as to wear the Jaws installer file is kept on windows10. I realise that you can also type something into the run dialogue box to perform a repair on Jaws. However, as far as I know. I still need to know where the installer is saved to do this. Can anyone help me out please? Oh and for some reason. My Jaws17 installation CD will not boot up anymore. I have heard that this is because Windows10 no longer lets us play DVDS. Is this true? As I thought I could just pop the CD in and run a Jaws repair that way?

[JAWS-Users] what to do with Jaws when upgrading to windows10
Hi list, I posted this question a few days ago, but didn't see it appear on the list. So I am resending it. I am about to upgrade my windows7 desktop to windows10 before the free upgrade option runs out at the end of the month. From what i understand. We have to uninstall all versions of Jaws etc running on our computers. Do the windows10 upgrade and then install jaws again. Is this correct? If so, how are we meant to run the upgrade if we don't have any speech? In addition, do we need to use the FS uninstall tool as mentioned? If so, do we run that after uninstalling Jaws? Or do we use that to uninstall jaws? O! and usually we get told not to choose the remove shared componants option when uninstalling Jaws. Since they want us to remove all versions of Jaws. Should I choose this option this time? And are there any other things I should do when upgrading to windows10?

[JAWS-Users] are there any special instructions regarding Jaws when upgrading to windows10
Hi list, I am about to upgrade my windows7 desktop computer to windows10. As the free upgrade ends at the end of this month. I have been holding off, as wanted to wait until Jaws would properly work with Windows10. I am currently running Jaws17. Is it true that I need to uninstall all current versions I have on my system? If so, how am I meant to initiate the windows10 download and install without any speech running? I believe the FS has also made a removal tool available. Which will remove any leftover parts of thier products. Where do I get that from? Do I really need it? And if so, do I run that before or after I uninstall Jaws? Once again, how would I run it if I will have no speech running? Are there any other tips I need to know in order to have a successful upgrade? And does Jaws17 work well with Jaws10 Thanks Jason For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
[JAWS-Users] using an alternate voice during say all
Hi list, I am using Jaws16 on a Windows7 desktop. I downloaded one of the premium voices from the FS website. However, I am having trouble working out how to use the voice when doing a say all command in Jaws. I have tried the learning tutorials for Jaws, but not had any luck. I remember getting it to work a few years ago with an earlier version of Jaws. But don't seem to be able to work it out now. There also used to be a command, so you could switch between using the higher quality voice and using eloquence. Is that still possible?

[JAWS-Users] how do you delete bookmarks in Mozilla. And creat folders in both I.e 11 and Mozilla
Hi list, I have googled for the answer to my questions, but not been able to carry out the instructions with Jaws 16. I mainly use I.E when searching the web etc. However, my university prefers us to use Mozilla for their webbased material etc. I am trying to delete some bookmarks I have made using Mozilla. However, I have not been able to do it. I would also like to know, how to be able to create folders within both IE and Mozilla. And how to use Jaws16 to move either bookmarks or favourites into folders within their corresponding browser. Like I said, I have tried following google instructions, but I haven't been able to get them to work.

Re: [JAWS-Users] having trouble using Jaws to change folder to look in so as to attach a file
Hi I am using windows7 home premium. When I shift tab beck into the list like you suggest, I am only presented with: libraries. homegroup, computer and network. And all of these are closed.

I am not sure which version of Windows you have, but in Windows 7, from the Attach File window, you are first left in the file name field. Hitting Shift tab twice puts you into the list of files in your last used directory. I believe this is your Pictures folder. Hitting Shift tab twice more should have you hearing Tree. From the Tree view you can up or down arrow, or use the first letter of the desired foler. JAWS should also announce the level of the folder. The default folder name is typically documents when you are saving from most programs, but could easily have been modified along the way. Hope this helps.

[JAWS-Users] how do you do a repair on Jaws
Hi list. I have just started having a focus issue with Jaws 12 and google using IE 8. For example. I have google as my home page when I launch IE 8. However, I am finding that I am not able to enter any text in the search edit field of google. I am not sure. If forms mode is not coming on properly? As even if I press enter to manually go into forms mode? I do not always hear Jaws report that it has come on. And yet other times it does. But I am still not able to enter text. I have tried refreshing the page with Jaws key and escape. I have unloaded and restarted Jaws. Still with no luck. I don't seem to have any problem using google with Firefox. But like I said. Today the google search box using IE8 isn't working. A family member, said that the search box does seem to be smaller than usual. I don't know if that is relevant or not? I tried doing a repair on Jaws 12. But I couldn't find a repair option like in earlier versions of Jaws. I tried running the Jaws 12 installation file again. To see if that would give me a repair option? But it reported that this version was already found, and that the installation couldn't proceed. Is there still a repair option in Jaws 12? Or can anyone help resolve my issue regarding the edit box in google?

Re: [JAWS-Users] what is the best way to uninstall previousversions of Jaws
That's what I was thinking? I decided to uninstall the oldest version first. And then work forward. Because, when we install a new version? We then uninstall the older one. So I figured, working from oldest to newest may be the way to go. In my case, it meant uninstalling Jaws 5.0. Yes that old a version. My desktop is 8 years old smile. I chose to leave the shared components. I then had the Human voice talking installer come up. It said that I needed to restart my computer to continue. However, when I did this? I had both an option to install with speech or without it? Thought this weird as I was trying to uninstall. I ended up in this loop of restarting my computer. It was only by pressing alt F4 to get rid of the prompt. I was then presented with the options to: modify, repair or uninstall Jaws. This sounded more better. However, when my computer restarted this time? I had no speech. I thought maybe my hotkeys had been removed with the uninstall. But a family member said. That I had a blue screen saying something about the byos I think? I rebooted and had my family member press F8 to bring up the safe mode menu. We chose to restart in the last best known configuration. This got Jaws and windows back to normal. However, when I uninstalled Jaws 6.0? I had the same problem happen all over again. Why would doing a simple uninstall of Jaws cause all this trouble? And can I avoid it with the next uninstall?

Re: [JAWS-Users] tutorials on using facebook
Hi Kim, well I managed to find out, that the tutorials were done by Erin Edgar for the radio show main menu.

[JAWS-Users] where do we go to check our licensing count
Hi list, I have been running Jaws 7 on my notebook, as it has windows ME, and that is the last version of Jaws to support that OS. It has been running fine for years. However, it has just reverted to running in 40 minute demo mode. I got an error message something to do with authorization. I don't know why this has suddenly started happening. I am wondering if I am going to have to reregister that version of Jaws? I have just installed Jaws 11. And I have a feeling, that my Jaws licensing count(or whatever it is called) may be low, or even down to zero. My question is, where do we go to have our reactivation count restored? And does anyone remember, if it is the authorization disk from Jaws 6 that we use to register Jaws 7? I don't think ILM registration was in use then was it? If anyone has any idea why my version of Jaws 7 reverted to demo mode, I would look forward to knowing it?

[JAWS-Users] problem with Jaws announcing favourites when not meant to
Hi list, for the past week or so, I have had an unusual issue with Jaws. For example, whenever I launch Internet Explorer. Jaws announces favorites. I don't think I remember it ever doing this before. In addition, when I open a webpage. I usually use insert numpad 3 to read the status line. This lets me know how many items on the page are left to download. However, what Jaws tends to do now, is read out a couple of my favorites. However, if I do in fact want to access my favorites. I still need to use control I to bring up my favorites list. Has anyone else experienced this? I am using XP home, IE7 and Jaws 10. Would upgrading to IE8 be of any help? It is sitting in my system tray. But I have been cautious about installing it. Thanks Jason For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/

Jaws reports appended to clipboard as usual. I continue on doing all forty plus pages of the article. However, when I paste the text into a new word file. I only have pages from about 32 onwards.

[JAWS-Users] Jaws 10 not reading emails automatically
Hi list, I am using Jaws 10 with outlook express on a desktop with XP home. Since installing Jaws 10, I have noticed that Jaws doesn't always automatically read my emails. For example, I will often skip through a lot of emails, by, having Jaws start reading an email. If I am not interested in it, I press delete to skip to the next email and do the same. Usually when you press delete, Jaws will automatically start reading the next email. With Jaws 10 however, it does not always do so, or it is very slow in starting to read the next message. If I go back to Jaws 9 however, Jaws goes back to being very snappy in starting the next email after pressing delete on the previous one.

Re: [JAWS-Users] just a brief thank you toalltryingtohelpmelastnight:
Hi Marilyn the course I did was run by a blindness organization where I live down here in Australia. It was only for 1 hour one day a week for a few months or so(I think it was). However, it was a one on one course-which was of course very good. And better still, it was free. At the time, I did not have access to Jaws at home. Therefore, I would not always remember everything I had learnt from the one hour class the week before. The training was really aimed at just getting you up and started with Jaws, and in giving you a feel as to what functions are possible. Such as: editing and formatting a document. Using Mail merge and printing envelopes etc. The latter two, I have forgotten most of though. So that will be a topic for future list questions I will have smile.

Hi Marilyn, you weren't being picky. Your comment was a valid one. It isn't any good throwing commands at someone, if they aren't already familiar with the keyboard etc. Being on this list, makes me appreciate the short course introducing me to Jaws that I received. At the time, I thought it not extensive enough. I now know, that some people don't even have access to that. You always have good input on the list, so keep it up.

Hang in there Karen, as has already been said.

You will find the people on this list, only too willing to help out, so don't hesitate to call out for help Best wishes Jason P.S not sure if you know yet, but pressing Jaws key plus function key 10, will bring up a list of the applications or windows you have open.

[JAWS-Users] FS clipboard problem
Hi list, I have been experiencing an annoying problem when using the Jaws extended clipboard feature. For example, I had several large blocks of text which I wanted to copy into a separate word file. After selecting the first block of text, I did the usual control C copy command. Jaws reported that the text was copied to the clipboard. I then selected the next block of text. This time, I did the append to clipboard command of windows key followed by c for copy. Jaws reported appended to clipboard as usual. I continued on doing the same for the other blocks of text. However, when I pasted the text into the new word file, I found that some of the blocks of text were missing. I had no problem with this feature in resent days. Has anyone experienced this? I am using Jaws 9, word 2003 and XP home. thanks Jason Visit the JAWS Users List home page at: http://www.jaws-users.com Visit the Blind Computing home page at: http://www.blind-computing.com Address for the list archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com To post to this group, send email to jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help from Mailman with your account Put the word help in the subject or body of a blank message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Use the following form in order to contact the management team http://www.jaws-users.com/managers.php If you wish to join the Blind Computing list send a blank email to the following address: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[JAWS-Users] files appearing empty in my documents but read fine when accessed through word
Hi list, I have had a strange problem the past few days. I have some files containing my study assignments for uni. Since I wanted to have 2 or 3 documents opened at the same time, I opened them through my documents. This meant I could just shift tab back to the list of files, and arrow down to the next I wanted, rather than going through the open dialogue in word. However, when I open the files, Jaws reads as if the documents are empty. However, if I launch word from the start menu, control O and shift tab into the list of files, and open them there, Jaws reads the contents fine. I haven't been able to get anyone to confirm for me, if the text actually appears when I open them through my documents though. If the text isn't appearing, then Jaws will in fact be reporting things correctly. Does anyone know though, why the same files would read differently when opened through my documents? thanks Jason P.S I am using Jaws 9 pro, word 2003 and XP home.

Re: [JAWS-Users] problem making a new hotkey stick
Hi Paul, thanks for that. I will keep that in mind. Roger Levine sent me a message offline, to try pressing enter after entering the hotkey. By doing this, I was taken out of the menu. However, when I went back in, my hotkey was there, and I just tabbed to okay and was done. Interestingly though, by using enter, the apply button disappeared. But the procedure still worked, so I have my hotkey smile.

I had to request a new disk copy from FS, as the original one mailed to me wasn't working. I finally got Jaws 9 installed. I did notice that Jaws was a bit sluggish during installation. For example, wouldn't always announce things like press enter or the spacebar to continue etc. In addition(unlike previous versions) I wasn't prompted to install the training materials until after I had finished the installation and asked to reboot. The problem I am now having, is making a hotkey to start Jaws stick. What I am doing is as follows. 1 go to desktop and find Jaws 9. 2 press context key. 3 arrow up once and enter on properties. 4 tab to the define new hotkey section.5 type the number 9. 6 tab and shift tab to check that it reads control alt 9 for the hotkey. 7 tab to the apply button and press enter or spacebar. 8 tab to the okay button. 9 reboot the computer, to make sure the change has taken effect. However, when I do insert F4 to unload Jaws and then try the hotkey, nothing happens. However, my old hotkey of control alt J for Jaws 8, obviously still works.

Re: [JAWS-Users] having trouble with start page of avg
Hi Orhan and Chris, yes I know that a lot of people use avg without any trouble, but for some reason it isn't working as should for me. Yes Orhan, it was the same pod cast we both listened to. Thanks for your tip about using the space bar. The problem is, I am not getting any of those buttons(or any others for that matter) showing up. I have tried tabbing. I have also routed the pc cursor to Jaws, but do not find any buttons. Jaws does confirm that it is avg 7.5 free that I am using. The only thing Jaws reads is a lot of unnamed graphics. It reports my last scan and last update as yesterday, which is when I installed it. As far as I know though, no such scan has been done. It then talks about things like premium updates not being available. This makes sense, as it is only the free version and not the paid one. It then gives a rundown as to why it is worth upgrading to the paid version. That is all that Jaws reads to me on the screen after I launch avg from my desktop. Something else I notice, is that when I installed avg, I was asked to create a start window folder. However, I don't have an avg shortcut icon in my start menu. Avg also does not show up in my system tray, and yet I think the manual or the podcast said it would be there. Does anyone have any solutions, short of reinstalling AVG? thanks Jason - Original Message - From: orhan deniz [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Sunday, December 30, 2007 4:59 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] having trouble with start page of avg no me neither. the demo you are talking about was from blind cool tech? a little while ago. yeah, I listened to that, how ever, in the paid version there is a advanced interface. however, this does not apply to the free version. also, you have to press space bar on a button - enter won't work for some weird reason. well at least for me. oh yeah if you want to scan for viruses, you need to press spacebar on the test centre button.

Re: [JAWS-Users] reading bold, italic, underline
Hi David, this is handy to know, as I too sometimes copy and paste information from different sources. What I usually do, is when I have finished cutting and pasting, I do a control A to select the whole document. I then go into the format menu and select my font choice and then save my document with the new changes. This helps to make sure my whole document has the same font all throughout the document. Do you know though, does my method also remove the original underlining and centreing etc? I always do such formatting after completing my document. thanks Jason - Original Message - From: David Griffith [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Monday, December 24, 2007 8:00 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] reading bold, italic, underline Wally is right about applying aliases but what I find easiest is to paste text into Word without formatting. This way I do not have to worry about any bold, underlines or italics other people may have entered and I can start to apply my own formatting without having to search through for errant underlines etc. I tend to copy and replace my text with unformatted text at the end of editing the entire document as this will remove all formatting . . The last thing I do before printing or sending a document is then to apply my own formatting confident that nothing else will be there. In Word 2003 to paste unformatted text rather than formatted text press alt E to go to edit menu then press S for Paste special and finally U for unformatted text. Finally press enter and unformatted text will be pasted. This feature should also be in Word 2007 but I am not sure if this key sequence will work the same. Once you get used to pressing this key sequence it's a very quick method.

[JAWS-Users] Norton scan of instant messages
HI list, I have Norton internet security 2006 on my computer. MY subscription is long expired, and I am thinking of uninstalling it and begin using AVG free. I got a message on booting up my computer, saying something like, Norton message scan could not start up, and so Norton can not scan incoming instant messages for threats to your computer. Firstly, can viruses come in MSN instant messages? Secondly, does AVG free do a similar scan of instant messages?

[JAWS-Users] Jaws 9 disk wont boot up
Hi list, got my Jaws 9 disk yesterday. However, when trying to install it, the program wont boot up when I put it in my D drive. I tried it several times. I made sure it was the right way up. I restarted my computer with the disk in the drive, as this sometimes gets the disks to start loading. I have gone into My computer and clicked on drive D, but it reports no items available. Does anyone know what I can do to get it to load? Other disks boot up fine. I only received one Jaws 9 disk, and it does have replacement written on it.

Hi list, having some trouble in doing attachments in MS word 2003. I have done some test ones, as haven't done them for a while. I have tried two methods, but no luck. For example, while in a new message, I select insert and then email attachment. I can find the look in box. I have that set to look in my documents. I get the file name dialogue box. I also get the list of my files. However, if I enter on the file I want nothing happens. Similarly, if I tab to the attach button and hit it nothing happens. My second method, was to open the word file, go to the file menu, down to send to and choose attachment or mail recipient whatever it says. I then enter the email address, the subject and a message. I then do alt S to send it. However, i only end up with the email, but no attachment. What am I doing wrong?

He gave me the link from which to download the Java program. However, I remember that Jaws has trouble with Java. He said that the uni site, makes a lot of use of Java. I didn't want to install Java and stuff up Jaws. I do have the Java access bridge installed on my system I think, and have done for a few years. Is there a new access bridge I need to install?

[JAWS-Users] how do you add to address book
Hi list, how do you add someone's email address to the address book/contacts in outlook express? My spam filter in Norton internet security has been regarding someone's emails as spam and putting them in the spam folder. I only just found out about this problem. I couldn't understand why I was not getting some of their emails. In addition, this person says they always write to me from the same email address. I always use their email address which I already have in my address book. I always get these messages back ok. However, their emails which are being seen as spam, have a different email address, to those emails I do get okay. I checked this by doing a control F3 to read the return path for the email. Is it possible for my system to somehow change their address? The person says they always use the address I have in my address book. However, this is not what I find by doing control F3. I think though, the spam address, is another address they do have. The person is one of my uni lecturers and was beginning to question my study ability, because I wasn't getting some of his emails and so not receiving some important study information. thanks a lot Jason P.S, I am using Jaws 8 and XP Visit the JAWS Users List home page at: http://www.jaws-users.com Address for the list archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com To post to this group, send email to jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help from Mailman with your account Put the word help in the subject or body of a blank message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Use the following form in order to contact the management team http://www.jaws-users.com/managers.php If you wish to join the Blind Computing list send a blank email to the following address: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[JAWS-Users] Jaws and new version of MSN
Hi list, when logging into MSN messenger, I got a prompt that a new version of MSN was available. When I chose to download it, I got the usual prompt of do I want to run the file or not. The file is titled Windows Live Messenger. From what I have heard, this program allows you to communicate with friends even if they are not using MSN. Is anyone else using windows live? If so, how accessible with Jaws is it, or am I better off staying with the current version of MSN? I am using XP home, with Jaws 8.0. thanks Jason Visit the JAWS Users List home page at: http://www.jaws-users.com Address for the list archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com To post to this group, send email to jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help from Mailman with your account Put the word help in the subject or body of a blank message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Use the following form in order to contact the management team http://www.jaws-users.com/managers.php If you wish to join the Blind Computing list send a blank email to the following address: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[JAWS-Users] using Jaws with blackboard system
Hi list, especially those uni students on the list. I have been having a lot of problems accessing my uni website for my Psychology studies. The uni has began using a thing called blackboard learning system. it uses some Java and so obviously gives Jaws problems. Have any of the students on list been able to master this system. I am able(with a lot of use of the Jaws cursor), able to get into things I need to, but it is very time consuming. Have spoken to the I.T guys at the uni. They help as much as they can, but they even say it is a problem even for students in general, not just with Jaws. Any tips will be helpful. thanks Jason P.S I have XP home and Jaws 8 and I.E 6.

[JAWS-Users] how do you fast forward and rewind in windows media player
Hi list, I am having a problem with windows media player. I am trying to work out how to pause, fast forward and rewind when listening to something with windows media player on my desktop. For example, I like to listen to podcasts such as that on Blind Cool tech etc. I sometimes listen to these several times, especially those which give instructional information I want to follow. I did an incert H to look at the hot keys for the program. Using alt S will stop the podcast. Alt P will start playing it again. However, it starts from the start of the podcast. If I have already listened to the podcast before, I may want to skip forward to the secttion I want. Using the hotkey of alt F doesn't seem to do anything. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? Being able to pause, fast forward and rewind, will be very handy when trying to follow David's very helpfull tutorials. At moment, I often use a hand recorder to do the job. I am using windows XP home, Jaws 8 Pro and windows media 10 I think it is, but not sure. thanks a lot Jason Visit the JAWS Users List home page at: http://www.jaws-users.com Address for the list archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com To post to this group, send email to jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help from Mailman with your account Put the word help in the subject or body of a blank message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Use the following form in order to contact the management team http://www.jaws-users.com/managers.php If you wish to join the Blind Computing list send a blank email to the following address: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[JAWS-Users] setting up AVG
Hi David and list, my Norton 2006 subscription ran out about a month ago. I am aware that Norton 2007 is not accessible with Jaws. I have also heard that Norton might be causing some issues that I have with using MS word 2003. This and that Norton is quite a memory hog, has made me think of trying AVG. I have downloaded AVG 7.5 free from David's site. Before I install it, I have some questions. Is this the most resent version of AVG? Does AVG free come with a firewall? Will it also automatically scan in coming and out going email? In coming is obviously the most important. I haven't uninstalled Norton yet. I know that I can use the uninstall program from the Symantec site. If I turn off all of the running Norton programs, will it be okay for me to go ahead and install AVG? If Norton is turned off, I assume that there shouldn't be any conflict, am I right? Lastly, is there anything I need to be aware of when installing AVG to run with Jaws. There was no mention of scripts being needed on David's site. thanks for your help Jason Visit the JAWS Users List home page at: http://www.jaws-users.com Address for the list archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com To post to this group, send email to jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help from Mailman with your account Put the word help in the subject or body of a blank message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Use the following form in order to contact the management team http://www.jaws-users.com/managers.php If you wish to join the Blind Computing list send a blank email to the following address: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[JAWS-Users] Jaws cutting off lines
Hi list, I have noticed an issue with Jaws over the last month. When reading word documents, web pages and emails etc Jaws leaves off words at the end of lines. This is only when doing a read all command. When reading paragraph by paragraph, or line by line, it reads everything. I have checked the margins. I have maximized the screen. I have view set to normal or page layout I think it is. I have just downloaded the Jaws update, using the automatic Jaws update feature. I heard someone on list say that the update helped fix their reading issue. Is there anything else i can do? Sure I can get by going paragraph by paragraph, however, I have a lot of reading to do for my course. I am using Jaws Pro 8.0 and Windows XP, word 2003 and I.E 6. thanks Jason Visit the JAWS Users List home page at: http://www.jaws-users.com Address for the list archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com To post to this group, send email to jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help from Mailman with your account Put the word help in the subject or body of a blank message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Use the following form in order to contact the management team http://www.jaws-users.com/managers.php If you wish to join the Blind Computing list send a blank email to the following address: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [JAWS-Users] MS-Excel documents looking like crap.
Hi Bill, I have been told that I need to turn on macros in order to use some files for my studies. Do you know how to do this using Jaws? I have also heard that macros can be dangerous for computers etc. Do you know if this is true and if there are any precautions I should take? thanks a lot Jason - Original Message - From: William Stephan [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Wednesday, June 27, 2007 5:15 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] MS-Excel documents looking like crap. Larry, I have to prepare spreadsheets for Greensuiters who like everything color-coded, I.e. Green for success, red for failed, yellow for expected to succeeed. If that's what you're doing, it is possible to write macros to change color on a given selected cell. I'm not a hundred percent sure of this but I believe you can select all in your spreadsheet, then pick a font, or color if you want, and in theory, it should all be sized propperly. Hope this helps.

[JAWS-Users] error with Skype set up
Hi David, I downloaded the Skype software from your webpage using the latest version of skype link. When trying to run the program, I got an error message that the program is not a valid Win.ex program or something like that. I have never installed Skype before, so not sure if I have done anything wrong. The download only says skype setup so I don't know what the version number is. Can you suggest anything? thanks Jason . , Visit the JAWS Users List home page at: http://www.jaws-users.com Address for the list archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com To post to this group, send email to jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help from Mailman with your account Put the word help in the subject or body of a blank message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Use the following form in order to contact the management team http://www.jaws-users.com/managers.php If you wish to join the Blind Computing list send a blank email to the following address: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[JAWS-Users] Jaws not reading all of text on a line
Hi list, over the past few days, Jaws has begun not reading properly. When doing a read all, Jaws reads through the text, but leaves off some words at the end of each line. I have not changed margins, or changed any Jaws verbosity or any other settings. This is happening everywhere i.e emails, WebPages etc. I also notice that sometimes when in an email, Jaws will begin reading and then stop. However, when I check the cursor position, it has jumped to the bottom of the email. If I go line by line everything is fine. Same too, if I read paragraph by paragraph. Interestingly though, if I use the sappy voices read-all it reads properly, but not when using eloquence. Does anyone have any ideas what I have done, if anything? thanks Jason Visit the JAWS Users List home page at: http://www.jaws-users.com Address for the list archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/jaws-users-list(not known now) To post to this group, send email to jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Use the following form in order to contact the management team http://www.jaws-users.com/managers.php
