RE: How to Get an Applications Key on a Lenovo Laptop?

This depends on which Lenovo model you are using. You can sometimes swap the insert key and the applications key. Since insert is the typical insert key, that may not be entirely desirable; however, with the laptop keyboard, the capslock key becomes the JAWS key. Depending upon personal preference, this may be a good way to get both a JAWS key, which you absolutely need, and an applications key, which is pretty handy. The insert key, when it is not the JAWS key, is pretty useless. Though, I would love to replace the print screen key with something useful. I don't think I've ever found a use for the print screen key. -Original Message- From: Jfw [mailto:jfw-boun...@lists.the-jdh.com] On Behalf Of Soronel Haetir via Jfw Sent: Thursday, August 20, 2015 9:32 AM To: The Jaws for Windows support list.

RE: disabling forms mode
Hello Sandra, Forms Mode is an absolutely necessary JAWS feature because without it, there would be no way to distinguish between typing on a web page and using navigation quick keys. For instance, if there were no forms mode, JAWS wouldn't know how to respond when you press the letter h because it wouldn't know whether you want to type an h or if you wish to move to the next heading on the page. This obviously is not an issue for sighted people because they navigate the web visually. I hope this clarifies why Forms Mode is an essential component of JAWS and other screen readers.

Is there a way I could disable Forms Mode so that I could just type in the needed info? I am a fast typist and find that I go faster than the field can appear or disappear! It would be nice if, upon reaching a form field, JAWS could just say, “to field,” then you immediately type a person’s name, for instance...

I found this out the hard way when I purchased my laptop running Windows 8 and had to temporarily use the JAWS demo before activating the software.

Regarding having Fast Startup on or off: it depends on your needs. You should not use Fast Startup if: * You are using multi-boot setup - other operating systems besides Windows 8.x/10 installed. This is more so on MACBooks and other computers. * You are doing frequent hardware upgrades. If you do enable Fast Startup, it'll not recognize new hardware, as Windows will think it is running on the old hardware. * Your disk space is precious. Hybrid Boot (Fast Startup) will use some disk space (just enough for Windows system components to hibernate). You might try using Fast Startup if: * You need your computer to boot in seconds. Reports claim Windows 8 boots in as little as seven seconds with Fast Startup turned on. * Your computer uses UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface; to find out, from Windows 8.x and later, from Start, type System Information).

RE: Correction: How To Configure Either The Windows 10 or Windows 8 Shutdown Menu To Truly Turn Off Your Computer
Fast Startup should also be disabled if you are running JAWS (or any FS products) in 40 minute demo mode because the system must shut down completely in order for the clock in the demo software to reset. I found this out the hard way when I purchased my laptop running Windows 8 and had to temporarily use the JAWS demo before activating the software. Now that I am using the paid release, though, I personally would never disable fast startup because, as the name implies, my computer boots up much faster than it would after a full shut down. -Original Message- From: Jfw [mailto:jfw-boun...@lists.the-jdh.com] On Behalf Of Joseph Lee via Jfw Sent: Wednesday, August 12, 2015 12:48 PM To: 'The Jaws for Windows support list.' jfw@lists.the-jdh.com Cc: Joseph Lee joseph.lee22...@gmail.com Subject: RE: Correction: How To Configure Either The Windows 10 or Windows 8 Shutdown Menu To Truly Turn Off Your Computer Hi Daniel, Unfortunately, this isn't available on Windows 7, as Hybrid Boot was introduced with Windows 8.x. Regarding having Fast Startup on or off: it depends on your needs. You should not use Fast Startup if: * You are using multi-boot setup - other operating systems besides Windows 8.x/10 installed. This is more so on MACBooks and other computers. * You are doing frequent hardware upgrades. If you do enable Fast Startup, it'll not recognize new hardware, as Windows will think it is running on the old hardware. * Your disk space is precious. Hybrid Boot (Fast Startup) will use some disk space (just enough for Windows system components to hibernate). You might try using Fast Startup if: * You need your computer to boot in seconds. Reports claim Windows 8 boots in as little as seven seconds with Fast Startup turned on. * Your computer uses UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface; to find out, from Windows 8.x and later, from Start, type System Information).

RE: What do I gain with Windows 10 as a blind person?
If you don't uninstall previous versions of JAWS, you won't even be able to upgrade to Windows 10.

Hi, Correct (Gabriel Aul from Microsoft tweeted that there will be a service release this month). As for bad side of continuous refinements and updates, that's one thing I'm slightly worried about: accessibility issues. For this reason, I advised some knowledgeable blind people (including some JAWS users here) to stay as Windows Insiders to help Microsoft iron out accessibility problems before the general public receives updates. But as with any software releases, Windows 10 will have flaws (a trending topic on various social networking sites and newspaper articles is privacy concerns, and for screen reading, Microsoft did something with UIA where performance degradation was observed for some screen reader users). As for upgrade period: yes, Windows 10 will be free for properly licensed users until July 2016. Many would say, take advantage of Windows 10 now. However, I and others would like to advise you to hold off for a while (especially for screen reader users; for JAWS users, please don't upgrade until JAWS 17 comes out; there are certain things JAWS 16.0.4350 doesn't support, including not reading Start search results automatically (to fix this, JAWS may need to listen to a specific UIA event), no forms mode nor virtual cursor in Edge (Microsoft Edge is filled with UIA) and not announcing Action Center notifications for some users (to fix this, FS may need to refine which controls are toasts, and toasts in Windows 10 are not tool tips anymore, rather they are actual windows)).

Joseph, I understand your point about continuous refinements, but the first refinements will amount to a service pack even if not given that name. I'll be content to wait. I assume the bad part you refer to is that from time to time, a refinement may disrupt accessibility because screenreader developers may find it hard to keep up. I agree. -Original Message- From: Jfw [mailto:jfw-boun...@lists.the-jdh.com] On Behalf Of Joseph Lee via Jfw Sent: Sunday, August 09, 2015 12:14 AM To: 'The Jaws for Windows support list.'

Continuous refinements will be the norm from now on, which are good thing and a bad thing. Virtual desktops (called Task View) are a way to group running apps together into workspaces. In other words, you can open multiple desktops with apps for different purposes opened in each desktop. By default, when you install Windows 10 and with multiple desktops opened, pressing Alt+TAB will cycle among apps on the current desktop (go to Settings/System/Multitasking to change this behavior). This isn't the same as having two or more user accounts (I for one use two user accounts and switch between them for various purposes).

Brad, One other feature Windows 10 introduces is virtual desktops.

Hi, I've been following all this Windows 10 stuff with great interest, and I just have a question (with a lot of background first): So FS says you shouldn't use Edge, you should use Firefox or IE. (I'm doing that now in Windows 7.) You can't use the built in mail program; you should use something like Thunderbird or Outlook. (I'm doing that now in Windows 7.) And you should use Adobe Reader for PDF documents. (I'm doing that now in Windows 7.) Reviews I've read all seem to indicate that Cortana is iffy at best. So why should I upgrade again? I'm not being smart; I'd really like to know if I'm going to gain anything other than having a new operating system that I have to use in the same old ways. The only benefit I can see is that Windows 10 will be supported beyond January of 2020, where Windows 7 will not. Am I overlooking some wonderful new feature that should cause me to want to hurry and upgrade? Or does the old saying, If it ain't broke, don't fix it, apply here? I'd really honestly like to know if JAWS users in particular are finding anything beneficial in the upgrade, or if it's just something fun to do to your functioning computer to see if it will still function.

RE: Installation of Windows 10
Prior to Windows 8, a clean install of Windows was always better, but that no longer seems to be the case. It seems as though Microsoft now deliberately designs new versions of Windows to facilitate installation over existing copies of Windows so that users don't have to reinstall their files and apps. At least for me, both upgrading from Windows 8 to 8.1 and now from 8.1 to 10 both went smoothly. That said, I would personally recommend a clean install of Windows only if you have a lot of junk on your computer that you wish to get rid of, or if you have corrupt files or apps that negatively impact overall system performance. -Original Message- From: Jfw [mailto:jfw-boun...@lists.the-jdh.com] On Behalf Of Aidan via Jfw Sent: Friday, August 7, 2015 2:42 AM To: The Jaws for Windows support list. jfw@lists.the-jdh.com Cc: Aidan aidan.smartt...@gmail.com Subject: Re: Installation of Windows 10 Well, it works but its not really a good idea to upgrade over an existing windows.

I gave them the meeting ID over the phone. They entered it and hit ENTER. At that point, my Tandem dialog closed, but our computers never did connect. Over the phone, I could hear his JAWS reading some error code out of a dialog box, and prompting him to hit the OK button. On my end, INSERT + ALT + TAB caused JAWS to tell me that I needed to be in an active tandem session, so, my JAWS did not think we were connected. Very strange.

I'm guessing that possibility is unlikely, so the following come to mind, all assuming JAWS is focused on the message but in the message list: 1. Control-d for delete. 2. Control-shift-v for move. Select another folder as the target, such as the delete folder, and see if it can be deleted from the new location. Or, 3. Press the applications key, then arrow down to delete and press enter.

RE: bounces
When I studied at the Illinois School for the Visually Impaired, a residential school specializing in teaching adaptive skills, I was in one of the most restrictive computer environments imaginable. Students were prohibited from visiting any site that requires them to enter their personal information (e.g. online stores and all sites requiring users to log in), and many web pages, including Google, were completely blocked. As for e-mail, all attachments with nontextual extensions (photos, music, videos, etc.) were filtered out to prevent school computers from catching a virus. Moreover, all traffic from outside the state network was marked as spam, unless the address was in the user's contacts. That being said, I strongly suspect your e-mail administrator's settings interfere with your communication on this list. While there may be a setting you can change yourself, I'm afraid the matter lies in the hands of the state, which may have to work with the list administrator.

RE: Spelling on word 2013
Microsoft unfortunately introduced some accessibility issues in Word 2013, and navigating the spell checker is probably the biggest of these problems. For instance, JAWS no longer announces spelling errors automatically every time; sometimes you must press Tab and Shift Tab to accomplish this task. Additionally, the spellcheck hotkeys (ignore, change, ignore all, etc.) no longer work, though pressing them without the Alt key (I = ignore, c = change, etc.) does the trick sometimes. I hope Microsoft addresses these accessibility barriers in Office 2016. Meanwhile, I hope the above observations help. -Original Message- From: Jfw [mailto:jfw-boun...@lists.the-jdh.com] On Behalf Of Pablo Morales via Jfw Sent: Friday, July 24, 2015 11:18 AM To: 'The Jaws for Windows support list.' jfw@lists.the-jdh.com Cc: Pablo Morales pablocmd2...@gmail.com Subject: Spelling on word 2013 Hi all, Probably this question is a little bit stupid, but I don't see the way to get what I need.

For example, on the Facebook Web site you can press P to post a status, L to like a story, C to comment on a story, or J and K to scroll between News Feed stories.

Facebook is an excellent way to keep in touch with friends and family. For users of computer and mobile access technologies, however, at times, there can be challenges. The company continuously evolves its products, which can introduce changes to screen-reader flow. So, in order to help readers more fully enjoy their Facebook experience, we are excited to offer the following information. Thanks to consumer feedback, and working with several organizations, including the American Foundation for the Blind (AFB), Facebook has taken accessibility to a whole new level. In July of 2011, the company formed the Facebook Accessibility Team to improve its support of accessibility across products. Recently, AccessWorld spoke with team founder Jeff Wieland and accessibility engineer Ramya Sethuraman, who offered us a top-10 list of things they'd like readers to know about Facebook's accessibility program and products. Facebook Offers Extensive Keyboard Navigation For computer users who do not use a mouse, including most screen-reader users, the main Facebook web site makes extensive use of headings, landmarks, and lists, which can be easily navigated with your screen-reader navigation keys. Additionally, the main Facebook web site also offers an extensive roster of Access and Shortcut keys to help you navigate the site and quickly perform actions, such as liking, searching, and sharing. Access Keys Access keys let you jump quickly from page to page [within Facebook] with a single key combination and without having to tab down to or search for the appropriate control, says Wieland.

RE: What is the JAWS way to jump over the junk at the top of a websites pages?
I'm afraid there is no single method that works for all websites, but consider trying one or more of the following: 1. When you locate the main content, create a JAWS placemarker to mark the spot. Be sure to apply it to the entire domain and to uncheck the anchor to text checkbox if it is checked. 2. Use Flexible Web to create a rule telling JAWS where to start reading. Make sure it applies to the entire website. 3. See if you can quickly skip past all the navigation links by repeatedly pressing the letter n, which takes you to the next block of non-link text. 4. If none of these options prove practical for you, perhaps you can use other HTML elements to find the main content, such as ARIA regions, lists, form controls, frames, or buttons. I hope this helps.

RE: Scanners.
Carolyn, I am by no means an expert on scanners, but whatever you get, you need to understand that scanning requires both hardware (the scanner) and software (a computer program that makes use of the scanner). OpenBook is not a scanner. Instead, it is scanning and OCR software that works with many scanners. If I understand your post correctly, you are considering purchasing an all-in-one printer, fax, and scanner. While such products work great for sighted individuals, I'm not sure how many of them, if any, can be operated nonvisually. For example, I know that some all-in-one devices have an inaccessible touch screen, and it is not possible to control them from a computer. That said, it may be better for you to buy two or three pieces of equipment if, of course, you can afford it. I also recommend scanners with an automatic feeder. I hope this helps, and I'm sorry I cannot provide specific advice (e.g. with regards to device models).

RE: Jaws 16 issue with touch screen at login
Did you try enabling the touch cursor? When enabled, the touch cursor allows you to simulate touch gestures using keyboard commands. For instance, pressing the left and right arrow keys is equivalent to swiping left and right, respectively. While the touch cursor was developed primarily to facilitate navigation in modern apps, it may help you get into Windows. Let us know if it does. -Original Message- From: Jfw [mailto:jfw-boun...@lists.the-jdh.com] On Behalf Of Russell Solowoniuk via Jfw Sent: Thursday, June 25, 2015 11:25 AM To: The Jaws for Windows support list.

I am running into an issue when my laptop goes to sleep. It goes to the Windows lockscreen. In the past all I had to do was press the power button on my laptop and I would be taken to the Windows lock screen where I could simply tab to the password field, enter my password, and I’d be right where I left off when my laptop went to sleep. Now, however, every time my laptop goes to sleep, when I press the power button nothing seems to happen. If I touch the screen though, Jaws is running and I can swipe to the various choices, i.e. password, shutdown, etc. but I cannot do anything. Double-tapping on the password field does nothing. Double-tapping on the shutdown button does nothing. And, nothing happens when I try to use the keyboard. It’s as if Jaws is in touch screen mode and the keyboard is not at all active. I called FS, and the guy there didn’t have a clue as to what to do. He suggested that I turn off the lock screen. I may do this, but at the moment I cannot get in to Windows at all. I press and hold the power button to turn off my laptop, but, when I turn it on, nothing happens… not evenwhen I touch the screen. So, my question… is there a keystroke I may have accidentally pressed to put Jaws in some sort of touch screen mode? Thanks for any and all ideas!

RE: 3 email address's
Hi Joe, I've never worked with Windows Live Mail because I have always used either Outlook or webmail services, but you may still find the below tip helpful. In Outlook, when you start typing in the to field, JAWS will announce the selected contact as it pops up. Based on your post, this is also the case in Windows Live Mail. When this happens, try pressing down arrow to navigate to the e-mail address you wish to insert into your message. For instance, referring to your example, when you type Joe and Joe's first e-mail address is selected, see if down arrowing will get you to the other ones. Let us know if this works for you.

Given how simply turning off a booting system is one of the few remaining ways to mess up an operating system install I would suggest waiting much longer than five minutes before assuming that the reboot is hung. My jaws upgrade took close to that today and I've had a few MS updates take more than 20 minutes after reboot, but the point is that the system did eventually come around.

RE: Keeping Up With Technology
Skipping five or so versions is not cheaper if, all of a sudden, a new version comes out containing something you really want or need. It would be cheaper if FS charged a flat upgrade fee, but that's not the case; the older the version, the greater the cost of upgrading to the newest release. That is why I always keep my license up-to-date, even if a particular release does not contain any new features I feel I'll need. -Original Message- From: Jfw [mailto:jfw-boun...@lists.the-jdh.com] On Behalf Of Brad Martin via Jfw Sent: Monday, June 22, 2015 8:34 PM To: The Jaws for Windows support list. Cc: Brad Martin Subject: Re: Keeping Up With Technology I can't really fault Freedom Scientific for this. Designers do crazier and crazier things with software and websites every day, and the people at FS aren't psychic. It's been this way since before I got into computers I'm sure, and that was 1992. You can't redesign software to fix a problem until the problem exists. So what happens. A new version of Windows comes out, and then JAWS has to be rewritten to handle the new stuff. A new version of Office comes out replacing menus with ribbons, and again, the software has to be rewritten to deal with the new layout. Netflix changes their website, and again something has to be tweaked to handle the new wrinkle. If the site designer would use Alt tags on their graphics, graphical links wouldn't be an issue. The other side of that coin is that you have to do your part, and that means updating to the latest version of JAWS if you want the latest fixes to the latest problems. I don't generally update to every new release, because for what I do, I can usually skip five or so versions. It's cheaper that way, and I don't feel like I'm missing out. If you're more on the cutting edge of technology, you may have to update more frequently. Which brings me to my final point of the night. People gripe about the cost of assistive technology, but as rapidly as things change, programmers are always having to work writing code to accommodate those new features and problems. And unlike, say, Microsoft Office, which people use by the millions and millions of copies, assistive technology has an extremely small market share. People want the very latest and greatest, and they want the software authors to work for free. Is what we have perfect? No. But if you were using JAWS back in the days of Internet Explorer 3.0, you remember when the only way to read a news article was with the JAWS cursor (there was no virtual cursor), and you had to read three or four columns of articles at one time with all the stories mixed together. We've come soo far since 1997 when I started teaching people how to use the Internet. When you step back eighteen years, it's really quite amazing how rapidly our technology catches up with the rest of the world compared to how long it used to take.

If screenreaders were able to recognize changing graphics, I think things would be a lot more accessible. No one saw this Netflix change coming; I mean, the site is definitely changed completely to the point where I cannot find my DVD queue; if they were phasing out the DVD queue, news of this should have been announced to subscribers long ago, but if this is merely a configuration issue where more is made of graphics, well, then I guess that, right now, they'll lose a lot of subscribers who can't figure out the situation, but my hope is that screenreading software is keeping up with the times, because they're certainly *NOT* slowing down for us.

RE: getting Skype off of task bar
As I noted previously, Skype can also be closed from the Task Bar (without worrying about System Tray icons at all). On a Windows 8 machine, the task bar can be accessed by pressing Windows T. You can then navigate to the Skype icon using the left or right arrow keys. When you land on Skype, press the application key or right mouse button, and choose quit Skype from the context menu. You will be presented with a dialogue box asking you if you are sure you wish to close the program. Activate the quit button, and Skype should be properly closed.

RE: You need to update Skype. NOT!
I close Skype from the Task Bar because Alt F4 doesn't work for me either. Other then that, however, the program works well for me; I use JAWS 16 and Windows 8.1. One setting I recommend changing, though, is unchecking the Skype Home option in the view menu. If checked, this setting makes screen reader navigation more difficult because parts of the Skype website appear in the program. -Original Message- From: Jfw [mailto:jfw-boun...@lists.the-jdh.com] On Behalf Of Marsha via Jfw Sent: Saturday, June 20, 2015 11:48 AM To: The Jaws for Windows support list.

I have never been a big fan of Skype, but the new features in Skype, as advertised in an email message I received having a subject line similar to the above, made it tempting. So, I read further. Apparently, the old Skype will no longer be supported. Being one always willing to jump for the bleeding edge, I gave it a try. In fairness, I didn't try to work with it for very long, but this has to rank right up there with the most inaccessible products I've seen on the market in the last decade. The thing brings up a list of options that one can read, but none of them works. Even worse, Skype hangs around and cannot be removed even with Alt-F4. I almost entitled this message, Is Skype really a virus? Fortunately, after going to the Control Panel, it was fairly easy to get rid of the thing. Now, my computer is working normally, but I really thought I had inadvertently introduced a virus to my computer (Windows 8.1). I'm using JAWS 16. So, except for those with some sight (probably quite a bit) and those with psychological needs to inflict punishment upon themselves, I would recommend to people that they bypass the tempting advertisements in the Skype email message that is likely to appear in your Inbox soon - if it has not appeared already.

Cc: Michal Nowicki Subject: RE: PlaceMarkers and JAWS Ted, You do not need to change any Word settings. Instead, just follow the below instructions very carefully, as the process of returning to where you left off is a bit tricky. There are two ways to access the feature to which I'm referring, and I strongly recommend the second method. Method 1. When you open a Word document you previously accessed, JAWS will announce the resume reading pane with focus on the resume reading button. Unfortunately, the resume reading pane does not linger, so if you don't press the spacebar quickly, this method won't work. Method 2. When you reopen a Word document, wait for the resume reading pane to appear and disappear. Then press F6 until you land on the resume reading pane, and activate the resume reading button by pressing spacebar. This should place you where you were when you last closed the document. Unfortunately, the resume reading feature has three key limitations: 1. It works only in Word 2013, not in earlier versions. 2. It works only in files that have been created in Word 2013. Therefore, if you want to use it in a file that was created in Word 2010 or earlier, you are out of luck, unless, perhaps, you select the entire document, copy and paste it into a blank Word 2013 file, and save it under a different name. 3. If you open a document and press any navigation keystroke (e.g. attempt to move by character, word, or line), the feature will no longer work because the second the cursor moves, Word forgets your previous location. I hope this helps.

I use placemarkers within Internet Explorer, primarily on web pages I visit frequently, where it is difficult to find the main content. For example, some news sites don't have skip to content links, mark the start of articles with a heading or ARIA region, or offer the ability to press the letter n to skip to the next non-link block of texts efficiently due to multiple lists of links at the top of the page. Therefore, it can be useful to create a main content placemarker on these sites to facilitate navigation. In this situation, it is necessary to assign the placemarker to the entire domain, but anchoring it to specific text defeats the purpose of the placemarker, since the start of the main content likely contains different text on each page within the website (e.g. article title). I hope this helps.

RE: When on the net.
Carolyn, There is no skip to content JAWS command that works universally across web pages. Fortunately, more and more web developers mark the start of the main content with either heading level 1 or ARIA regions. If that doesn't work on pages you need to access, try pressing the letter n, which skips past blocks of links. This method, however, won't always work either. In short, quick navigation to the main content is very much page-specific. -Original Message- From: Jfw [mailto:jfw-boun...@lists.the-jdh.com] On Behalf Of Carolyn Arnold via Jfw Sent: Wednesday, June 10, 2015 12:17 PM To: The Jaws for Windows support list.

The strange thing is that this happens when I'm not even in Internet Explorer.

One example that I can remember is called miniclip, which I believe is a games web site. My gut instinct suggests that this is a virus of some sort, but both I, and the techs at our local computer shop, haven't been able to find it.

This is David, and I will help you. First of all, when you are on the link of the zipped file, press the num pad *, the command for a right click, also, you can press caps lock + the number 9 on the numbers row if you have a laptop, or you can just right click the mouse itself. After you do this right click, arrow down to save target to and enter on that. Next, click on save as. When you enter on save as, and press enter, select the folder you want to save the zipped file to. Next, enter on the save button in the dialog and it will be saved on your computer. Important: When you find the file on your computer, because it is zipped, when you press enter on this file, it will show the file in mp3. I think you have to alt tab to see the actual mp3 file. Now, press enter on that mp3 file, and the song will start playing. Because the file is zipped, you are just doing this extra step. So, again, press enter on the file on your computer, alt tab to the mp3 file that is unzipped, press enter a second time on that, and your song or whatever it is will start playing in Windows media player or whatever default player you have on your computer. I hope this helps, and if you run into anything, please do not hesitate to e-mail me off list at the e-mail at the bottom of this message.

JAWS contains a help topic for Outlook, which can be accessed by holding the JAWS key and pressing F1 twice quickly from within Outlook. JAWS help for Outlook contains a section on getting started with the program. One change I would recommend is turning off the reading pane for all mail folders, or at least for your inbox. While some users find this feature useful (because it allows them to preview messages without opening them), I don't like it because it marks my messages as read before I have a chance to read them, and the only way I've been able to resolve this issue is by setting the reading pane to off. -Original Message- From: Jfw [mailto:jfw-boun...@lists.the-jdh.com] On Behalf Of Jean Menzies via Jfw Sent: Sunday, May 24, 2015 11:53 AM To: JawsList 1 Cc: Jean Menzies Subject: Setting up Outlook I’m starting a new job tomorrow, and will be using Outlook.

Previously, JAWS used to say “star, star” when I typed passwords in Internet Explorer. But now JAWS stays silent. I know that the password is getting typed because the star symbols appear on the screen pressing Enter after typing the password performs as expected. I am using JAWS 16 on a computer running Windows 7 OS. Kindly inform me how I can get JAWS to speak again when typing passwords. Thanking you all in advance for any all assistance.

RE: font and format configuration
Not a bad thought, but why bother when Ctrl Alt V is an option. -Original Message- From: Jfw [mailto:jfw-boun...@lists.the-jdh.com] On Behalf Of Onwardbob via Jfw Sent: Thursday, May 21, 2015 11:18 AM To: 'The Jaws for Windows support list.'

Cc: Drew Hunthausen Subject: RE: font and format configuration I just tried this and it does do what you are describing. What I remember doing and what I want to do is to paste text from a web site or another document into the one I am working on and have it format the text the same as the rest of my document. I have an article I am writing where I am pulling quotes from other places. Many of these quotes are formatted differently and are hyper links in their origin. I need to be able to copy and paste them into my document and have them be formatted like the rest of the text. I remember doing this when I first started using word 2010 and it was a life changer.

Cc: Ed Marquette Subject: RE: font and format configuration Here is one where it would potentially be helpful if we knew more about your objective. Instead of using control plus v, if you use control plus alt plus v, you get an option every time as to the format you want. This works in both Word 2010 and Outlook 2010. If you paste as text or Unicode text, everything takes on the font in effect at the point where the paste takes place. There is also an option to paste as formatted text -- as well as several other options pasting format . In fact, I almost never use control plus v anymore. -Original Message- From: Jfw [mailto:jfw-boun...@lists.the-jdh.com] On Behalf Of Kimsan via Jfw Sent: Thursday, May 21, 2015 1:57 AM To: 'The Jaws for Windows support list.'

I know that there is a way to have word ask you what format you want to paste the text as, but I don't have that set up and really need to get that option. Any help is greatly appreciated. -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
