Re: [JAWS-Users] 2013/365.

2015-06-18 Thread Michael Boyd
They are both the same. Office 365 is Office 2013 bundled with special 
pricing and sold as a subscription service. The cost is less. I pay $10.39 
per month for the Home version which includes Word, Excel, Power Point, One 
Drive, Outlook, Publisher, and Access. With this you also get 1 TB of One 
Drive and 60 minutes of Skype per month to use. With this subscription, you 
can install the suite on up to 5 computers or tablets, and you always keep 
the latest updates and upgrades for the Office Suite, so when the next 
version comes out, you will automatically update to that. When I had Office 
2013 Home and Student installed on my computer, it seemed as if something 
about Office never work right, but with the 365, it has run flawlessly. 
There is also the Personal version available for $6.95 per month plus taxes, 
and with this version I believe you get Word, Excel, Power Point, and 
Outlook only.

Hey Dacia,

First of all you must have either Office 2013 or Office 365 installed on 
your computer. It could be the Home edition, the Home and Business 
Edition, or whatever. Then hopefully, you will already have the icons for 
Word, excel, etc on your desktop. If you don't, then we can go through the 
steps of putting them there, if you have one of these versions of Office. 
Then, you could just go to your desktop and press enter on the icon for 
Word and it, of course, would open. Let me know what version of Office you 
are running , and we can take it from there.

2015-06-18 Thread Michael Boyd


OK, here we go. To start with, if you happen to be running Windows 7, just 
open the Start menu and select All Programs, and arrow down to Microsoft 
Office. Open this and scroll through the programs within Office finding the 
ones that you want on your desktop. For each one that you do, right click on 
that program and then select the Send To option and then select Desktop 
(create shortcut).


If you are running Windows 8 or 8.1, then it is a little more complicated, 
but not too bad. Start by opening File Explorer, and then your C: crive. Now 
open Program files, and scroll down to Microsoft Office 15. Open Office 15 
and scroll down to find the Root folder, and from here find the folder nmed 
Office 15. OK, this is the folder that contains all of the esecutable files 
for your Office programs. Unfortunately, they are not all called by the name 
that you and I know the programs by, but that’s OK. Start by pressing the 
letter E until you come to Excel, you can press EX to find it quicker, and 
once you do, right click on it and select either Create Shortcut, or Send 
To, and then Desktop (Create Shortcut). Now, you just repeat this for the 
remainder of the applications that you want on your desktop. The file names 
that you will be looking for are as follows:

Word - Winword
Excel - EXCEL
Outlook - Outlook
One Note - Onenote
Power Point - POWERPNT
Access - MSACCESS
Publisher - MSPUB

OK, that’s it. Hope it helps.

Hi,

I have office 365 so any help with getting it to my desktop would be great.

thanks,

Also,

Is outlook friendly with JAWS or is there a setting I can activate to
use a less complicated interphase so it's friendly with JAWS 16?

Which is newer, Office 2013 or Office 365?

Thanks.

Hey Dacia,

First of all you must have either Office 2013 or Office 365 installed on
your computer. It could be the Home edition, the Home and Business
Edition, or whatever. Then hopefully, you will already have the icons for

Word, excel, etc on your desktop. If you don't, then we can go through
the



steps of putting them there, if you have one of these versions of Office.

Then, you could just go to your desktop and press enter on the icon for
Word and it, of course, would open. Let me know what version of Office
you



are running , and we can take it from there.

Hi,
How do you start the desktop version of Word?

Hi,

In the File tab, arrow down to options, and select General. Tab on down
until you find Show the start screen when this program opens, and
uncheck



this box. Now select OK and now the back stage view will not come up
when



you open Word, just a blank document.

As for more blind friendly versions of Word, I know that the web app is
not very accessible, but the desktop versions should be equally
accessible.

On saving, I, again, open the file tab, and arrow to Save to save
changes



to a previously saved document. Or, to save a new document and assign it

a name, press enter on the Save As option, and it will say saving
features, go down to computer, and you will get an edit field to type in

the name that you want to give to the document. Then, simply tab down to

the Save button and press enter. If you do not want to save the document

to the default folder, usually the Documents folder, then in the edit
field, type in the path to where you want the document saved, such as:
c:\archives\document name.
