[JAWS-Users] List Guidelines Reminder

2018-07-01 Thread Moderator
Hello and welcome to the JAWS Users list.
This list has been created for The purpose of discussing all aspects of the 
JAWS for Windows screen reader Program.

So everything that pertains to JAWS is fair game. Such as asking about what 
software packages work well with JAWS or how to make them work even better
with scripts, keyboard short cuts and so forth. Another example could be 
requesting information on how to do something in Microsoft Word, which as we 
all
know works very well with JAWS, but you need to know how to do a certain 
task or want to learn a way to accomplish it more efficiently.

Now this is a very important point in my opinion, asking the list for exact 
instructions every time is not a good thing to do for a major reason. It 
creates
a dependency situation even if you don't realize it does. The ideal place I 
am hoping the list will arrive at some day is that everybody no matter how
new they might happen to be with JAWS or computers will have the confidence 
to try things on their own, and yet feel if they get stuck the list will be
there to help put them back on track. Trust me when I say that help is 
quicker to arrive for somebody who is well known to ask for it last than 
first.
So try it yourself first whatever it is. If you get stuck then let the list 
know what you've done to try and resolve your current dilemma. Then I'm sure
help will arrive with in short order. Next a post asking if there is a 
software package that does a specific task and works well with JAWS is 
perfectly
fine.

The rules of conduct are quite simple and straightforward. Be polite and 
Patient with others. There will be absolutely no fighting, and no bashing of 
Freedom
Scientific on here at all. If you have a problem with them then take it up 
with Freedom Scientific directly.

Please try to keep subject lines relevant and descriptive as possible.

Signatures and tag lines should not be more than a couple of sentences, 
three or four at the most. If you wish to include a tag line, don't make 
another
message of it. Placing anything else in there simply increases the bandwidth 
required to handle the posted message and make it more work for a person who
wishes to follow the given thread back to review previous messages, as they 
have to plow down past an overly long signature. Also please place your 
message
above your signature line so as not to force people to read it before they 
get to your message.

Also any newsletters except those that directly pertain to JAWS should not 
be posted to the list prior to receiving moderator approval.

Attachments are removed before any message is sent to the list. This is done 
for your protection. The message list might state that there is an 
attachment
but in fact Mailman does remove them.

When contacting any of the list moderators privately please be descriptive 
in the subject line as to the purpose of the message. Many of us simply 
delete
messages from people we don't know. At the present time there are over 700 
subscribers to this list, so we can't possibly know everybody on here.

Also, if you have a question for the list that falls within the guidelines, 
then post it accordingly. Don't contact the management team with questions
that are more appropriate for the list itself. Your question may or may not 
receive an answer for a number of reasons.

Everybody should familiarize themselves with the content contained in the 
footer message that accompanies every message posted to the list.

Occasionally there might be some difficulty with your email address and you 
may receive an email from the server asking you to reactivate your account.
Please do not simply delete this message. Instead open it and follow the 
directions to reactivate your account. If you do not after receiving a 
number
of such messages then the server will remove your email address 
automatically.

The discussion of anything illegal is absolutely forbidden, along with 
flirting or other such inappropriate activities. This is not a high tech 
swap shop
or anything of that nature at all. This means that goods and or services 
will not be bought or sold using this forum. If you know a given subject is 
off
topic then don't post it. Simply placing off topic in the subject line does 
not make it all right.

Posting to a single address IE this list is the preferred acceptable 
practice as we do not allow cross posting. That is simply posting to more 
than one
list or address in the same message. You can post the same message to 
multiple list, but not at the same time.

Now to the matter of replying to a posted message:

The proper practice is to simply hit the reply command in your respective 
email client, IE control + R is used quite often in many programs. Replying 
to
all, for example control + shift + R in Windows Live Mail will only serve to 
get your message flagged by the server for having too many recipients.

Then at that point your message gets held for one of us to accept or

Posting to a single address IE this list is the preferred acceptable

Hello and welcome to the JAWS Users list.
This list has been created for The purpose of discussing all aspects of the 
JAWS for Windows screen reader Program.

So everything that pertains to JAWS is fair game. Such as asking about what 
software packages work well with JAWS or how to make them work even better
with scripts, keyboard short cuts and so forth. Another example could be 
requesting information on how to do something in Microsoft Word, which as we 
all
know works very well with JAWS, but you need to know how to do a certain 
task or want to learn a way to accomplish it more efficiently.

Now this is a very important point in my opinion, asking the list for exact 
instructions every time is not a good thing to do for a major reason. It 
creates
a dependency situation even if you don't realize it does. The ideal place I 
am hoping the list will arrive at some day is that everybody no matter how
new they might happen to be with JAWS or computers will have the confidence 
to try things on their own, and yet feel if they get stuck the list will be
there to help put them back on track. Trust me when I say that help is 
quicker to arrive for somebody who is well known to ask for it last than 
first.
So try it yourself first whatever it is. If you get stuck then let the list 
know what you've done to try and resolve your current dilemma. Then I'm sure
help will arrive with in short order. Next a post asking if there is a 
software package that does a specific task and works well with JAWS is 
perfectly
fine.

The rules of conduct are quite simple and straightforward. Be polite and 
Patient with others. There will be absolutely no fighting, and no bashing of 
Freedom
Scientific on here at all. If you have a problem with them then take it up 
with Freedom Scientific directly.

Please try to keep subject lines relevant and descriptive as possible.

Signatures and tag lines should not be more than a couple of sentences, 
three or four at the most. If you wish to include a tag line, don't make 
another
message of it. Placing anything else in there simply increases the bandwidth 
required to handle the posted message and make it more work for a person who
wishes to follow the given thread back to review previous messages, as they 
have to plow down past an overly long signature. Also please place your 
message
above your signature line so as not to force people to read it before they 
get to your message.

Also any newsletters except those that directly pertain to JAWS should not 
be posted to the list prior to receiving moderator approval.

Attachments are removed before any message is sent to the list. This is done 
for your protection. The message list might state that there is an 
attachment
but in fact Mailman does remove them.

When contacting any of the list moderators privately please be descriptive 
in the subject line as to the purpose of the message. Many of us simply 
delete
messages from people we don't know. At the present time there are over 700 
subscribers to this list, so we can't possibly know everybody on here.

matter how new they might happen to be with JAWS or computers will have the
confidence to try things on their own, and yet feel if they get stuck the
list will be there to help put them back on track. Trust me when I say that
help is quicker to arrive for somebody who is well known to ask for it last
than first. So try it yourself first whatever it is. If you get stuck then
let the list know what you've done to try and resolve your current dilemma.
Then I'm sure help will arrive with in short order. Next a post asking if
there is a software package that does a specific task and works well with
JAWS is perfectly fine.

The rules of conduct are quite simple and straightforward. Be polite and
Patient with others. There will be absolutely no fighting, and no bashing of
Freedom Scientific on here at all. If you have a problem with them then take
it up with Freedom Scientific directly.

Please try to keep subject lines relevant and descriptive as possible.

Signatures and tag lines should not be more than a couple of sentences,
three or four at the most. If you wish to include a tag line, don't make
another message of it. Placing anything else in there simply increases the
bandwidth required to handle the posted message and make it more work for a
person who wishes to follow the given thread back to review previous
messages, as they have to plow down past an overly long signature. Also
please place your message above your signature line so as not to force
people to read it before they get to your message.

Also any newsletters except those that directly pertain to JAWS should not
be posted to the list prior to receiving moderator approval.

Attachments are removed before any message is sent to the list. This is done
for your protection. The message list might state that there is an
attachment but in fact Mailman does remove them.

When contacting any of the list moderators privately please be descriptive
in the subject line as to the purpose of the message. Many of us simply
delete messages from people we don't know. At the present time there are
over 650 subscribers to this list, so we can't possibly know everybody on
here.

Also, if you have a question for the list that falls within the guidelines,
then post it accordingly. Don't contact the management team with questions
that are more appropriate for the list itself. Your question may or may not
receive an answer for a number of reasons.

Everybody should familiarize themselves with the content contained in the
footer message that accompanies every message posted to the list.

Occasionally there might be some difficulty with your email address and you
may receive an email from the server asking you to reactivate your account.
Please do not simply delete this message. Instead open it and follow the
directions to reactivate your account. If you do not after receiving a
number of such messages then the server will remove your email address
automatically.

The discussion of anything illegal is absolutely forbidden, along with
flirting or other such inappropriate activities. This is not a high tech
swap shop or anything of that nature at all. This means that goods and or
services will not be bought or sold using this forum. If you know a given
subject is off topic then don't post it. Simply placing off topic in the
subject line does not make it all right. Cross-posting is not permitted, and
members should only post in the following manner:

Using the TO: field with only one list address. The reason for this is that
in cases where people setup their message rules to go by the to: field often
times such rules get fouled up and in effect do not work properly. Also
cross posting might allow you to reach many lists at the same time but the
fact is such a post might not be on topic for each and every list. This
practice does nothing but clutter up such lists with
unwanted off topic messages along with annoying the list moderators.

The SUBJECT: field should be short and to the point without including any
member names.

Please do not reply to a posted question simply to say you don't know

Hello and welcome to the JAWS Users list. This list has been created for The
purpose of discussing all aspects of the JAWS for Windows screen reader
Program.

So everything that pertains to JAWS is fair game. Such as asking about what
software packages work well with JAWS or how to make them work even better
with scripts, keyboard short cuts and so forth. Another example could be
requesting information on how to do something in Microsoft Word, which as we
all know works very well with JAWS, but you need to know how to do a certain
task or want to learn a way to accomplish it more efficiently.

Now this is a very important point in my opinion, asking the list for exact
instructions every time is not a good thing to do for a major reason. It
creates a dependency situation even if you don't realize it does. The ideal
place I am hoping the list will arrive at some day is that everybody no
matter how new they might happen to be with JAWS or computers will have the
confidence to try things on their own, and yet feel if they get stuck the
list will be there to help put them back on track. Trust me when I say that
help is quicker to arrive for somebody who is well known to ask for it last
than first. So try it yourself first whatever it is. If you get stuck then
let the list know what you've done to try and resolve your current dilemma.
Then I'm sure help will arrive with in short order. Next a post asking if
there is a software package that does a specific task and works well with
JAWS is perfectly fine.

The rules of conduct are quite simple and straightforward. Be polite and
Patient with others. There will be absolutely no fighting, and no bashing of
Freedom Scientific on here at all. If you have a problem with them then take
it up with Freedom Scientific directly.

Please try to keep subject lines relevant and descriptive as possible.

Signatures and tag lines should not be more than a couple of sentences,
three or four at the most. If you wish to include a tag line, don't make
another message of it. Placing anything else in there simply increases the
bandwidth required to handle the posted message and make it more work for a
person who wishes to follow the given thread back to review previous
messages, as they have to plow down past an overly long signature. Also
please place your message above your signature line so as not to force
people to read it before they get to your message.

Also any newsletters except those that directly pertain to JAWS should not
be posted to the list prior to receiving moderator approval.

Attachments are removed before any message is sent to the list. This is done
for your protection. The message list might state that there is an
attachment but in fact Mailman does remove them.

When contacting any of the list moderators privately please be descriptive
in the subject line as to the purpose of the message. Many of us simply
delete messages from people we don't know. At the present time there are
over 650 subscribers to this list, so we can't possibly know everybody on
here.

Also, if you have a question for the list that falls within the guidelines,
then post it accordingly. Don't contact the management team with questions
that are more appropriate for the list itself. Your question may or may not
receive an answer for a number of reasons.

Everybody should familiarize themselves with the content contained in the
footer message that accompanies every message posted to the list.

Hello and welcome to the JAWS Users list. This list has been created for The
purpose of discussing all aspects of the JAWS for Windows screen reader
Program.

So everything that pertains to JAWS is fair game. Such as asking about what
software packages work well with JAWS or how to make them work even better
with scripts, keyboard short cuts and so forth. Another example could be
requesting information on how to do something in Microsoft Word, which as we
all know works very well with JAWS, but you need to know how to do a certain
task or want to learn a way to accomplish it more efficiently.

Now this is a very important point in my opinion, asking the list for exact
instructions every time is not a good thing to do for a major reason. It
creates a dependency situation even if you don't realize it does. The ideal
place I am hoping the list will arrive at some day is that everybody no
matter how new they might happen to be with JAWS or computers will have the
confidence to try things on their own, and yet feel if they get stuck the
list will be there to help put them back on track. Trust me when I say that
help is quicker to arrive for somebody who is well known to ask for it last
than first. So try it yourself first whatever it is. If you get stuck then
let the list know what you've done to try and resolve your current dilemma.
Then I'm sure help will arrive with in short order. Next a post asking if
there is a software package that does a specific task and works well with
JAWS is perfectly fine.

The rules of conduct are quite simple and straightforward. Be polite and
Patient with others. There will be absolutely no fighting, and no bashing of
Freedom Scientific on here at all. If you have a problem with them then take
it up with Freedom Scientific directly.

Please try to keep subject lines relevant and descriptive as possible.

Signatures and tag lines should not be more than a couple of sentences,
three or four at the most. If you wish to include a tag line, don't make
another message of it. Placing anything else in there simply increases the
bandwidth required to handle the posted message and make it more work for a
person who wishes to follow the given thread back to review previous
messages, as they have to plow down past an overly long signature. Also
please place your message above your signature line so as not to force
people to read it before they get to your message.

Also any newsletters except those that directly pertain to JAWS should not
be posted to the list prior to receiving moderator approval.

Attachments are removed before any message is sent to the list. This is done
for your protection. The message list might state that there is an
attachment but in fact Mailman does remove them.

When contacting any of the list moderators privately please be descriptive
in the subject line as to the purpose of the message. Many of us simply
delete messages from people we don't know. At the present time there are
over 650 subscribers to this list, so we can't possibly know everybody on

Hello and welcome to the JAWS Users list. This list has been created for The
purpose of discussing all aspects of the JAWS for Windows screen reader
Program.

So everything that pertains to JAWS is fair game. Such as asking about what
software packages work well with JAWS or how to make them work even better
with scripts, keyboard short cuts and so forth. Another example could be
requesting information on how to do something in Microsoft Word, which as we
all know works very well with JAWS, but you need to know how to do a certain
task or want to learn a way to accomplish it more efficiently.

Now this is a very important point in my opinion, asking the list for exact
instructions every time is not a good thing to do for a major reason. It
creates a dependency situation even if you don't realize it does. The ideal
place I am hoping the list will arrive at some day is that everybody no
matter how new they might happen to be with JAWS or computers will have the
confidence to try things on their own, and yet feel if they get stuck the
list will be there to help put them back on track. Trust me when I say that
help is quicker to arrive for somebody who is well known to ask for it last
than first. So try it yourself first whatever it is. If you get stuck then
let the list know what you've done to try and resolve your current dilemma.
Then I'm sure help will arrive with in short order. Next a post asking if
there is a software package that does a specific task and works well with
JAWS is perfectly fine.

The rules of conduct are quite simple and straightforward. Be polite and
Patient with others. There will be absolutely no fighting, and no bashing of
Freedom Scientific on here at all. If you have a problem with them then take
it up with Freedom Scientific directly.

Please try to keep subject lines relevant and descriptive as possible.

Signatures and tag lines should not be more than a couple of sentences,
three or four at the most. If you wish to include a tag line, don't make
another message of it. Placing anything else in there simply increases the
bandwidth required to handle the posted message and make it more work for a
person who wishes to follow the given thread back to review previous
messages, as they have to plow down past an overly long signature. Also
please place your message above your signature line so as not to force
people to read it before they get to your message.

Also any newsletters except those that directly pertain to JAWS should not
be posted to the list prior to receiving moderator approval.

Attachments are removed before any message is sent to the list. This is done
for your protection. The message list might state that there is an
attachment but in fact Mailman does remove them.

When contacting any of the list moderators privately please be descriptive

am hoping the list will arrive at some day is that everybody no matter how
new they might happen to be with JAWS or computers will have the confidence 
to try things on their own, and yet feel if they get stuck the list will be
there to help put them back on track. Trust me when I say that help is 
quicker to arrive for somebody who is well known to ask for it last than 
first.
So try it yourself first whatever it is. If you get stuck then let the list 
know what you've done to try and resolve your current dilemma. Then I'm sure
help will arrive with in short order. Next a post asking if there is a 
software package that does a specific task and works well with JAWS is 
perfectly
fine.

The rules of conduct are quite simple and straightforward. Be polite and

Please try to keep subject lines relevant and descriptive as possible. Also 
any newsletters except those that directly pertain to JAWS should not be

Attachments are removed before any message is sent to the list. This is done 
for your protection. The message list might state that there is an

When contacting any of the list moderators privately please be descriptive

delete
messages from people we don't know. At the present time there are over 650 
subscribers to this list, so we can't possibly know everybody on here.

Also, if you have a question for the list that falls within the guidelines, 
then post it accordingly. Don't contact the management team with questions
that are more appropriate for the list itself. Your question may or may not 
receive an answer for a number of reasons.

Everybody should familiarize themselves with the content contained in the

Hello and welcome to the JAWS Users list. This list has been created for The
purpose of discussing all aspects of the JAWS for Windows screen reader
Program.

So everything that pertains to JAWS is fair game. Such as asking about what
software packages work well with JAWS or how to make them work even better
with scripts, keyboard short cuts and so forth. Another example could be
requesting information on how to do something in Microsoft Word, which as we
all
know works very well with JAWS, but you need to know how to do a certain
task or want to learn a way to accomplish it more efficiently.

Now this is a very important point in my opinion, asking the list for exact
instructions every time is not a good thing to do for a major reason. It
creates
a dependency situation even if you don't realize it does. The ideal place I
am hoping the list will arrive at some day is that everybody no matter how

Just an amendment that I haven't placed in the official guidelines as of
yet, but given recent events it seems appropriate.

There is no need to reply to a post asking any question with a response of I
don't know, (AKA) IDK.

The fact is such posts simply create more traffic on a very high volume list
that does not need any help in that area.

A complex system that does not work is invariably found to have evolved from
a simpler system that worked perfectly.

Hello and welcome to the JAWS Users list!
This list has been created for The purpose of discussing all aspects of the 
JAWS for Windows screen reader Program.

So everything that pertains to JAWS is fair game. Such as asking about what 
software packages work well with JAWS or how to make them work even better 
with
scripts, keyboard short cuts and so forth. Another example could be 
requesting information on how to do something in Microsoft Word, which as we 
all know works very well with JAWS,
 but you need to know how to do a certain task or want to learn a way to 
accomplish it more efficiently.

Now this is a very important point in my opinion, asking the list for exact 
instructions every time is not a good thing to do for a major reason. It 
creates a dependency situation even if you don't realize it does.
 The ideal place I am hoping the list will arrive at some day is that 
everybody no matter how
new they might happen to be with JAWS or computers will have the confidence 
to try things on their own, and yet feel if they get stuck the list will be
there to help put them back on track. Trust me when I say that help is 
quicker to arrive for somebody who is well known to ask for it last than 
first.
So try it yourself first whatever it is. If you get stuck then let the list 
know what you've done to try and resolve your current dilemma. Then I'm sure
help will arrive with in short order. Next a post asking if there is a 
software package that does a specific task and works well with JAWS is 
perfectly
fine.

The rules of conduct are quite simple and straightforward. Be polite and 
Patient with others. There will be absolutely no fighting, and no bashing of 
Freedom
Scientific on here at all. If you have a problem with them then I suggest 
you take it up with Freedom Scientific directly.

Please try to keep subject lines relevant and descriptive as possible. Also 
any newsletters except those that directly pertain to JAWS should not be 
posted
to the list prior to receiving moderator approval.

Attachments are removed before any message is sent to the list. This is done 
for your protection. The message list might state that there is an 
attachment
but in fact Mailman does remove them.

When contacting any of the list moderators privately please be descriptive 
in the subject line as to the purpose of the message. Many of us simply 
delete
messages from people we don't know. At the present time there are over 650 
subscribers to this list, so we can't possibly know everybody on here.

Also, if you have a question for the list that falls within the guidelines, 
then post it accordingly. Don't contact the management team with questions 
that
are more appropriate for the list itself. Your question may or may not 
receive an answer for a number of reasons.

Everybody should familiarize themselves with the content contained in the 
footer message that accompanies every message posted to the list.

Occasionally there might be some difficulty with your email address and you 
may receive an email from the Mailman program asking you to reactivate your
account. Please do not simply delete this message. Instead open it and 
follow the directions to reactivate your account. If you do not after

unwanted off topic messages along with annoying the list moderators. Lastly 
please no jokes, virus warnings, recipes, safety tips, or pleas to help 
dying
kids, should ever be forwarded to the list.

Forwarded messages and attachments are not permitted. If you have an article 
or message of interest which relates to the

Nature of this list send it to the list owner and if it is appropriate, it 
will be posted to the list. Additionally if you

want to make an announcement about another list send it to the list owner

Hello and welcome to the JAWS Users list!
This list has been created for The purpose of discussing all aspects of the 
JAWS for Windows screen reader Program.

So everything that pertains to JAWS is fair game. Such as asking about what 
software packages work well with JAWS or how to make them work even better 
with scripts, keyboard short cuts and so forth. Another example could be 
requesting information on how to do something in Microsoft Word, which as we 
all know works very well with JAWS,
 but you need to know how to do a certain task or want to learn a way to 
accomplish it more efficiently.

Now this is a very important point in my opinion, asking the list for exact 
instructions every time is not a good thing to do for a major reason. It 
creates a dependency situation even if you don't realize it does.
 The ideal place I am hoping the list will arrive at some day is that 
everybody no matter how
new they might happen to be with JAWS or computers will have the confidence 
to try things on their own, and yet feel if they get stuck the list will be
there to help put them back on track. Trust me when I say that help is 
quicker to arrive for somebody who is well known to ask for it last than 
first.
So try it yourself first whatever it is. If you get stuck then let the list 
know what you've done to try and resolve your current dilemma. Then I'm sure
help will arrive with in short order. Next a post asking if there is a 
software package that does a specific task and works well with JAWS is 
perfectly
fine.

The rules of conduct are quite simple and straightforward. Be polite and 
Patient with others. There will be absolutely no fighting, and no bashing of 
Freedom
Scientific on here at all. If you have a problem with them then I suggest 
you take it up with Freedom Scientific directly.

Please try to keep subject lines relevant and descriptive as possible. Also

2013-09-10 Thread Moderator
Hello and welcome to the JAWS Users list. This list has been created for The 
purpose of discussing all aspects of the JAWS for Windows screen reader 
Program.

So everything that pertains to JAWS is fair game. Such as asking about what 
software packages work well with JAWS or how to make them work even better 
with
scripts, keyboard short cuts and so forth. Another example could be 
requesting information on how to do something in Microsoft Word, which as we 
all know
works very well with JAWS, but you need to know how to do a certain task or 
want to learn a way to accomplish it more efficiently.

Now this is a very important point in my opinion, asking the list for exact 
instructions every time is not a good thing to do for a major reason. It 
creates
a dependency situation even if you don't realize it does. The ideal place I 
am hoping the list will arrive at some day is that everybody no matter how
new they might happen to be with JAWS or computers will have the confidence 
to try things on their own, and yet feel if they get stuck the list will be
there to help put them back on track. Trust me when I say that help is 
quicker to arrive for somebody who is well known to ask for it last than 
first.
So try it yourself first what ever it might happen to be. If you get stuck 
then let the list know what you've done to try and resolve your current 
dilemma.
Then I'm sure help will arrive with in short order. Next a post asking if 
there is a software package that does a specific task and works well with 
JAWS
is perfectly fine.

The rules of conduct are quite simple and straightforward. Be polite and 
Patient with others. There will be absolutely no fighting, and no bashing of 
Freedom
Scientific on here at all. If you have a problem with them then I suggest 
you take it up with Freedom Scientific directly.

Please try to keep subject lines relevant and descriptive as possible. Also 
any news letters except those that directly pertain to JAWS should not be 
posted
to the list prior to receiving moderator approval.

Attachments are removed before any message is sent to the list. This is done 
for your protection. The message list might state that there is an 
attachment
but in fact Mailman does remove them.

When contacting any of the list moderators privately please be descriptive 
in the subject line as to the purpose of the message. Many of us simply 
delete
messages from people we don't know. At the present time there are over 550 
subscribers to this list, so we can't possibly know everybody on here.

Also, if you have a question for the list that falls within the guidelines, 
then post it accordingly. Don't contact the management team with questions 
that
are more appropriate for the list itself. Your question may or may not 
receive an answer for a number of reasons.

Everybody should familiarize themselves with the content contained in the 
footer message that accompanies every message posted to the list. There you 
will
find the group web address along with some other relevant information 
pertaining to contacting the management team ETC.

Occasionally there might be some difficulty with your email address and you 
may receive an email from the Mailman program asking you to reactivate your
account. Please do not simply delete this message. Instead open it and 
follow the directions to reactivate your account. If you do not after 
receiving
a number of such messages then we will figure that you no longer wish to be 
a member of the list and remove your email address.

The discussion of anything illegal is absolutely forbidden, along with 
flirting or other such inappropriate activities. this is not a high tech 
swap shop
or anything of that nature at all. This means that goods and or services 
will not be bought or sold using this forum. If you know a given subject is 
off
topic then don't post it. Simply placing off topic in the subject line does 
not make it all right. Cross-posting is not permitted, and members should 
only
post in the following manner:

Using the TO: field with only one list address. The SUBJECT: field should be 
short and to the point without including any member names.

The reason for this is that in cases where people setup their message rules 
to go by the To: field often times such rules get fowled up and in effect do
not work properly. Also cross posting might allow you to reach many lists at 
the same time but the fact is such a post might not be on topic for each and
every list. This practice does nothing but clutter up such lists with
unwanted off topic messages along with annoying the list moderators. Lastly 
please no jokes, virus warnings, recipes, safety tips, or pleas to help 
dying
kids, should ever be forwarded to the list.

Forwarded messages and attachments are not permitted. If you have an article 
or message of interest which relates to the

nature of this list send it to the list owner and if it is appropriate, it 
will be posted to the list.

Hello and welcome to the JAWS Users list. This list has been created for The 
purpose of discussing all aspects of the JAWS for Windows screen reader 
Program.

So everything that pertains to JAWS is fair game. Such as asking about what 
software packages work well with JAWS or how to make them work even better 
with
scripts, keyboard short cuts and so forth. Another example could be 
requesting information on how to do something in Microsoft Word, which as we 
all know
works very well with JAWS, but you need to know how to do a certain task or 
want to learn a way to accomplish it more efficiently.

Now this is a very important point in my opinion, asking the list for exact 
instructions every time is not a good thing to do for a major reason. It 
creates
a dependency situation even if you don't realize it does. The ideal place I 
am hoping the list will arrive at some day is that everybody no matter how
new they might happen to be with JAWS or computers will have the confidence 
to try things on their own, and yet feel if they get stuck the list will be
there to help put them back on track. Trust me when I say that help is 
quicker to arrive for somebody who is well known to ask for it last than 
first.
So try it yourself first what ever it might happen to be. If you get stuck 
then let the list know what you've done to try and resolve your current 
dilemma.
Then I'm sure help will arrive with in short order. Next a post asking if 
there is a software package that does a specific task and works well with 
JAWS
is perfectly fine.

The rules of conduct are quite simple and straightforward. Be polite and 
Patient with others. There will be absolutely no fighting, and no bashing of 
Freedom
Scientific on here at all. If you have a problem with them then I suggest 
you take it up with Freedom Scientific directly.

Please try to keep subject lines relevant and descriptive as possible. Also 
any news letters except those that directly pertain to JAWS should not be 
posted
to the list prior to receiving moderator approval.

Attachments are removed before any message is sent to the list. This is done 
for your protection. The message list might state that there is an 
attachment
but in fact Mailman does remove them.

When contacting any of the list moderators privately please be descriptive 
in the subject line as to the purpose of the message. Many of us simply 
delete
messages from people we don't know. At the present time there are over 550 
subscribers to this list, so we can't possibly know everybody on here.

Also, if you have a question for the list that falls within the guidelines, 
then post it accordingly. Don't contact the management team with questions 
that

receive an answer for a number of reasons.

instructions every time is not a good thing to do for a major reason. It 
creates
a dependency situation even if you don't realize it does. The ideal place I 
am hoping the list will arrive at some day is that everybody no matter how
new they might happen to be with JAWS or computers will have the confidence 
to try things on their own, and yet feel if they get stuck the list will be
there to help put them back on track. Trust me when I say that help is 
quicker to arrive for somebody who is well known to ask for it last than 
first.
So try it yourself first what ever it might happen to be. If you get stuck 
then let the list know what you've done to try and resolve your current 
dilemma.
Then I'm sure help will arrive with in short order. Next a post asking if 
there is a software package that does a specific task and works well with 
JAWS
is perfectly fine.

The rules of conduct are quite simple and straightforward. Be polite and 
Patient with others. There will be absolutely no fighting, and no bashing of 
Freedom
Scientific on here at all. If you have a problem with them then I suggest 
you take it up with Freedom Scientific directly.

Please try to keep subject lines relevant and descriptive as possible. Also 
any news letters except those that directly pertain to JAWS should not be 
posted
to the list prior to receiving moderator approval.

Attachments are removed before any message is sent to the list. This is done 
for your protection. The message list might state that there is an 
attachment
but in fact Mailman does remove them.

When contacting any of the list moderators privately please be descriptive 
in the subject line as to the purpose of the message. Many of us simply 
delete
messages from people we don't know. At the present time there are over 550 
subscribers to this list, so we can't possibly know everybody on here.

Also, if you have a question for the list that falls within the guidelines, 
then post it accordingly. Don't contact the management team with questions 
that
are more appropriate for the list itself. Your question may or may not 
receive an answer for a number of reasons.

Everybody should familiarize themselves with the content contained in the 
footer message that accompanies every message posted to the list. There you 
will
find the group web address along with some other relevant information 
pertaining to contacting the management team ETC.

Occasionally there might be some difficulty with your email address and you 
may receive an email from the Mailman program asking you to reactivate your
account. Please do not simply delete this message. Instead open it and 
follow the directions to reactivate your account. If you do not after 
receiving
a number of such messages then we will figure that you no longer wish to be 
a member of the list and remove your email address.

The discussion of anything illegal is absolutely forbidden, along with 
flirting or other such inappropriate activities. this is not a high tech 
swap shop
or anything of that nature at all. This means that goods and or services 
will not be bought or sold using this forum. If you know a given subject is 
off
topic then don't post it. Simply placing off topic in the subject line does 
not make it all right. Cross-posting is not permitted, and members should 
only
post in the following manner:

Using the TO: field with only one list address. The SUBJECT: field should be 
short and to the point without including any member names.

The reason for this is that in cases where people setup their message rules 
to go by the To: field often times such rules get fowled up and in effect do
not work properly. Also cross posting might allow you to reach many lists at 
the same time but the fact is such a post might not be on topic for each and
every list. This practice does nothing but clutter up such lists with
unwanted off topic messages along with annoying the list moderators. Lastly 
please no jokes, virus warnings, recipes, safety tips, or pleas to help 
dying
kids, should ever be forwarded to the list.

Forwarded messages and attachments are not permitted. If you have an article 
or message of interest which relates to the

nature of this list send it to the list owner and if it is appropriate, it

Hello and welcome to the JAWS Users list. This list has been created for The 
purpose of discussing all aspects of the JAWS for Windows screen reader 
Program.

So everything that pertains to JAWS is fair game. Such as asking about what 
software packages work well with JAWS or how to make them work even better 
with
scripts, keyboard short cuts and so forth. Another example could be 
requesting information on how to do something in Microsoft Word, which as we 
all know
works very well with JAWS, but you need to know how to do a certain task or 
want to learn a way to accomplish it more efficiently.

[JAWS-Users] List Guidelines Reminder

Hello and welcome to the JAWS Users list. This list has been created for The 
purpose of discussing all aspects of the JAWS for Windows screen reader 
Program.

So everything that pertains to JAWS is fair game. Such as asking about what 
software packages work well with JAWS or how to make them work even better 
with
scripts, keyboard short cuts and so forth. Another example could be 
requesting information on how to do something in Microsoft Word, which as we 
all know
works very well with JAWS, but you need to know how to do a certain task or 
want to learn a way to accomplish it more efficiently.

Now this is a very important point in my opinion, asking the list for exact 
instructions every time is not a good thing to do for a major reason. It 
creates
a dependency situation even if you don't realize it does. The ideal place I 
am hoping the list will arrive at some day is that everybody no matter how
new they might happen to be with JAWS or computers will have the confidence 
to try things on their own, and yet feel if they get stuck the list will be
there to help put them back on track. Trust me when I say that help is 
quicker to arrive for somebody who is well known to ask for it last than 
first.
So try it yourself first what ever it might happen to be. If you get stuck 
then let the list know what you've done to try and resolve your current 
dilemma.
Then I'm sure help will arrive with in short order. Next a post asking if 
there is a software package that does a specific task and works well with 
JAWS
is perfectly fine.

The rules of conduct are quite simple and straightforward. Be polite and 
Patient with others. There will be absolutely no fighting, and no bashing of 
Freedom
Scientific on here at all. If you have a problem with them then I suggest 
you take it up with Freedom Scientific directly.

Please try to keep subject lines relevant and descriptive as possible. Also 
any news letters except those that directly pertain to JAWS should not be 
posted
to the list prior to receiving moderator approval.

Attachments are removed before any message is sent to the list. This is done 
for your protection. The message list might state that there is an 
attachment
but in fact Mailman does remove them.

When contacting any of the list moderators privately please be descriptive 
in the subject line as to the purpose of the message. Many of us simply 
delete
messages from people we don't know. At the present time there are over 450 
subscribers to this list, so we can't possibly know everybody on here.

Also, if you have a question for the list that falls within the guidelines, 
then post it accordingly. Don't contact the management team with questions 
that
are more appropriate for the list itself. Your question may or may not 
receive an answer for a number of reasons.

Everybody should familiarize themselves with the content contained in the 
footer message that accompanies every message posted to the list. There you 
will
find the group web address along with some other relevant information 
pertaining to contacting the management team ETC.

Occasionally there might be some difficulty with your email address and you 
may receive an email from the Mailman program asking you to reactivate your
account. Please do not simply delete this message. Instead open it and 
follow the directions to reactivate your account. If you do not after 
receiving
a number of such messages then we will figure that you no longer wish to be 
a member of the list and remove your email address.

responders for vacations and so forth must make sure that this list is not
included. Any person who sends an auto response message will be removed!

quicker to arrive for somebody who is well known to ask for it last than 
first.
So try it yourself first what ever it might happen to be. If you get stuck 
then let the list know what you've done to try and resolve your current 
dilemma.
Then I'm sure help will arrive with in short order. Next a post asking if 
there is a software package that does a specific task and works well with 
JAWS

is perfectly fine.

The rules of conduct are quite simple and straightforward. Be polite and 
Patient with others. There will be absolutely no fighting, and no bashing of 
Freedom
Scientific on here at all. If you have a problem with them then I suggest 
you take it up with Freedom Scientific directly.


Please try to keep subject lines relevant and descriptive as possible. Also 
any news letters except those that directly pertain to JAWS should not be 
posted

to the list prior to receiving moderator approval.

Attachments are removed before any message is sent to the list. This is done 
for your protection. The message list might state that there is an 
attachment

but in fact Mailman does remove them.

When contacting any of the list moderators privately please be descriptive 
in the subject line as to the purpose of the message. Many of us simply 
delete
messages from people we don't know. At the present time there are over 450 
subscribers to this list, so we can't possibly know everybody on here.


Also, if you have a question for the list that falls within the guidelines, 
then post it accordingly. Don't contact the management team with questions 
that
are more appropriate for the list itself. Your question may or may not 
receive an answer for a number of reasons.


Everybody should familiarize themselves with the content contained in the 
footer message that accompanies every message posted to the list. There you 
will
find the group web address along with some other relevant information 
pertaining to contacting the management team ETC.


Occasionally there might be some difficulty with your email address and you 
may receive an email from the Mailman program asking you to reactivate your
account. Please do not simply delete this message. Instead open it and 
follow the directions to reactivate your account. If you do not after 
receiving
a number of such messages then we will figure that you no longer wish to be 
a member of the list and remove your email address.


The discussion of anything illegal is absolutely forbidden, along with 
flirting or other such inappropriate activities. this is not a high tech 
swap shop
or anything of that nature at all. This means that goods and or services 
will not be bought or sold using this forum. If you know a given subject is 
off
topic then don't post it. Simply placing off topic in the subject line does 
not make it all right. Cross-posting is not permitted, and members should 
only

post in the following manner:

Using the TO: field with only one list address. The SUBJECT: field should be 
short and to the point without including any member names.


The reason for this is that in cases where people setup their message rules 
to go by the To: field often times such rules get fowled up and in effect do
not work properly. Also cross posting might allow you to reach many lists at 
the same time but the fact is such a post might not be on topic for each and

every list. This practice does nothing but clutter up such lists with
unwanted off topic messages along with annoying the list moderators. Lastly 
please no jokes, virus warnings, recipes, safety tips, or pleas to help 
dying

kids, should ever be forwarded to the list.

No auto responders are to be used on this list! Those who use auto
responders for vacations and so forth must make sure that this list is not
included. Any person who sends an auto response message will be removed!

Hello and welcome to the JAWS Users list. This list has been created for The 
purpose of discussing all aspects of the JAWS for Windows screen reader 
Program.


So everything that pertains to JAWS is fair game. Such as asking about what 
software packages work well with JAWS or how to make them work even better 
with
scripts, keyboard short cuts and so forth. Another example could be 
requesting information on how to do something in Microsoft Word, which as we 
all know
works very well with JAWS, but you need to know how to do a certain task or 
want to learn a way to accomplish it more efficiently.


Now this is a very important point in my opinion, asking the list for exact 
instructions every time is not a good thing to do for a major reason. It 
creates
a dependency situation even if you don't realize it does. The ideal place I 
am hoping the list will arrive at some day is that everybody no matter how
new they might happen to be with JAWS or computers will have the confidence 
to try things on their own, and yet feel if they get stuck the list will be
there to help put them back on track. Trust me when I say that help is 
quicker to arrive for somebody who is well known to ask for it last than

post in the following manner:

Using the TO: field with only one list address. The SUBJECT: field should be 
short and to the point without including any member names.


The reason for this is that in cases where people setup their message rules 
to go by the To: field often times such rules get fowled up and in effect do
not work properly. Also cross posting might allow you to reach many lists at 
the same time but the fact is such a post might not be on topic for each and

every list. This practice does nothing but clutter up such lists with
unwanted off topic messages along with annoying the list moderators. Lastly 
please no jokes, virus warnings, recipes, safety tips, or pleas to help 
dying

kids, should ever be forwarded to the list.

No auto responders are to be used on this list! Those who use auto
responders for vacations and so forth must make sure that this list is not
included. Any person who sends an auto response message will be removed!

[JAWS-Users] List Guidelines Reminder

2010-11-01 Thread Moderator
Hello and welcome to the JAWS Users list. This list has been created for The 
purpose of discussing all aspects of the JAWS for Windows screen reader 
Program.


So everything that pertains to JAWS is fair game. Such as asking about what 
software packages work well with JAWS or how to make them work even better 
with
scripts, keyboard short cuts and so forth. Another example could be 
requesting information on how to do something in Microsoft Word, which as we 
all know
works very well with JAWS, but you need to know how to do a certain task or 
want to learn a way to accomplish it more efficiently.


Now this is a very important point in my opinion, asking the list for exact 
instructions every time is not a good thing to do for a major reason. It 
creates
a dependency situation even if you don't realize it does. The ideal place I 
am hoping the list will arrive at some day is that everybody no matter how
new they might happen to be with JAWS or computers will have the confidence 
to try things on their own, and yet feel if they get stuck the list will be
there to help put them back on track. Trust me when I say that help is 
quicker to arrive for somebody who is well known to ask for it last than 
first.
So try it yourself first what ever it might happen to be. If you get stuck 
then let the list know what you've done to try and resolve your current 
dilemma.
Then I'm sure help will arrive with in short order. Next a post asking if 
there is a software package that does a specific task and works well with 
JAWS

is perfectly fine.

The rules of conduct are quite simple and straightforward. Be polite and 
Patient with others. There will be absolutely no fighting, and no bashing of 
Freedom
Scientific on here at all. If you have a problem with them then I suggest 
you take it up with Freedom Scientific directly.


Please try to keep subject lines relevant and descriptive as possible. Also 
any news letters except those that directly pertain to JAWS should not be 
posted

to the list prior to receiving moderator approval.

Attachments are removed before any message is sent to the list. This is done 
for your protection. The message list might state that there is an 
attachment

but in fact Mailman does remove them.

When contacting any of the list moderators privately please be descriptive 
in the subject line as to the purpose of the message. Many of us simply 
delete
messages from people we don't know. At the present time there are over 450 
subscribers to this list, so we can't possibly know everybody on here.


Also, if you have a question for the list that falls within the guidelines, 
then post it accordingly. Don't contact the management team with questions 
that
are more appropriate for the list itself. Your question may or may not 
receive an answer for a number of reasons.


Everybody should familiarize themselves with the content contained in the 
footer message that accompanies every message posted to the list. There you 
will
find the group web address along with some other relevant information 
pertaining to contacting the management team ETC.


Occasionally there might be some difficulty with your email address and you 
may receive an email from the Mailman program asking you to reactivate your
account. Please do not simply delete this message. Instead open it and 
follow the directions to reactivate your account. If you do not after 
receiving
a number of such messages then we will figure that you no longer wish to be 
a member of the list and remove your email address.


The discussion of anything illegal is absolutely forbidden, along with 
flirting or other such inappropriate activities. this is not a high tech 
swap shop
or anything of that nature at all. This means that goods and or services 
will not be bought or sold using this forum. If you know a given subject is 
off
topic then don't post it. Simply placing off topic in the subject line does 
not make it all right. Cross-posting is not permitted, and members should 
only

post in the following manner:

Using the TO: field with only one list address. The SUBJECT: field should be 
short and to the point without including any member names.

even though I just posted them 6 days ago.
So, for your convenience and required reading, here they are again.
Please read them carefully, repeat offenders will be removed from the list
without further notice.

you take it up with Freedom Scientific directly.


Please try to keep subject lines relevant and descriptive as possible. Also 
any news letters except those that directly pertain to JAWS should not be 
posted

to the list prior to receiving moderator approval.

Attachments are removed before any message is sent to the list. This is done 
for your protection. The message list might state that there is an 
attachment

but in fact Mailman does remove them.

When contacting any of the list moderators privately please be descriptive 
in the subject line as to the purpose of the message. Many of us simply 
delete
messages from people we don't know. At the present time there are over 450 
subscribers to this list, so we can't possibly know everybody on here.


Also, if you have a question for the list that falls within the guidelines, 
then post it accordingly. Don't contact the management team with questions 
that
are more appropriate for the list itself. Your question may or may not 
receive an answer for a number of reasons.


Everybody should familiarize themselves with the content contained in the 
footer message that accompanies every message posted to the list. There you 
will
find the group web address along with some other relevant information 
pertaining to contacting the management team ETC.


Occasionally there might be some difficulty with your email address and you 
may receive an email from the Mailman program asking you to reactivate your
account. Please do not simply delete this message. Instead open it and 
follow the directions to reactivate your account. If you do not after 
receiving
a number of such messages then we will figure that you no longer wish to be 
a member of the list and remove your email address.


The discussion of anything illegal is absolutely forbidden, along with 
flirting or other such inappropriate activities. this is not a high tech 
swap shop
or anything of that nature at all. This means that goods and or services 
will not be bought or sold using this forum. If you know a given subject is 
off
topic then don't post it. Simply placing off topic in the subject line does 
not make it all right. Cross-posting is not permitted, and members should 
only

post in the following manner:

Using the TO: field with only one list address. The SUBJECT: field should be 
short and to the point without including any member names.


The reason for this is that in cases where people setup their message rules 
to go by the To: field often times such rules get fowled up and in effect do
not work properly. Also cross posting might allow you to reach many lists at 
the same time but the fact is such a post might not be on topic for each and

every list. This practice does nothing but clutter up such lists with
unwanted off topic messages along with annoying the list moderators. Lastly 
please no jokes, virus warnings, recipes, safety tips, or pleas to help 
dying

kids, should ever be forwarded to the list.

No auto responders are to be used on this list! Those who use auto
responders for vacations and so forth must make sure that this list is not
included. Any person who sends an auto response message will be removed!

My hope
