Re: problem with creating a folder

[Kimber Gardner via Jfw]

You probably didn't create it under documents. Try going back into
word and go through the steps to create a new folder once again. This
time instead of creating another folder, back tab from the new folder
name and see where your folders are being placed when you creat them.
Once you know where the folder was created, cancel out of that
operation and go to wherever your new folder is.

I hope that's clear.

RE: problem with creating a folder

[j Bron via Jfw]

Adrian and Kimmer, This is what I did!  I hit alt F and followed the
prompts.  It worked like a charm and now all my article worksheets are
snuggly in one convenient place!  Thanks to everyone!  Judith

We don't know which operating system you're using. "My documents" suggests
XP. What I'm about to write refers to Windows 7, but if memory serves, it
also works in XP. 

This is a simple operation, but hard to explain. If the other methods people
have suggested don't work for you, try this one:

Go back to your original plan, which was to go to documents and create a new
folder there. 

Instead of pressing the applications key, press alt-f.

Then press w for "new."

When you land on "new," you'll notice it is followed by ellipses. This means
you need to press enter to proceed.

The first item JAWS verbalizes will be "Folder." Press enter to land on an
edit field.

Type in the desired name of the folder. Press enter.

The folder should appear the next time you open documents.

RE: problem with creating a folder

[j Bron via Jfw]

Thanks.  You were right, I was thinking of unselecting in Word and thought
all these years that anything selected elsewhere would become unselected
with the stroke of an arrow.  Thanks for the explanation.  JB

That's totally correct. But I have no idea what that would have to do with
creating folders.

I'm talking about file selection in Windows Explorer list view, or the File
Save dialog list view. This is where you would be creating a folder.

If you're in Windows Explorer list view, or the File Save dialog list view,
hitting up or down arrow changes the selection, but something is still
selected. The only way I know to unselect an item in a list viewis to hit
CONTROL + SPACE, and after that, your context menu will have a New submenu,
so you can create a new folder.

Sorry for any mniscommunication.

RE: problem with creating a folder

[Adrian Spratt via Jfw]

Paul,

In some menus, JAWS verbalizes either "open" or 'closed" against names of 
folders that contain subfolders. If closed, pressing the right arrow will open 
a list of the subfolders. 

I'm guessing this is what Judith is referring to, suggesting how she would 
navigate to the folder she wants.

But this is moot. She's solved her problem.

I think the problem you ran into was that you had something selected in the
list view. When something is selected in the list view, the context menu
does not contain a New submenu. You must unselect your current selection
with CONTROL + SPACE first, and then the New submenu will be available.

Here's some info about how I use the application key to create new folders.

You can always see your current location by hitting ALT + D to go to the
address window. INSERT + UP ARROW to read the contents, if necessary. Do
this to verify you're about to create the folder in the correct / desired
location.

SHIFT + TAB backwards from there to get to the list view (might be something
other than list view, depending on how you've customized it, but I think
list view is pretty common: It's the contents of your current location.

Hit CONTROL + SPACE until you hear it say "not selected". Then hit the
application key to bring up the context menu. Hit W for the New submenu, and
select Folder. You now have a new folder, and you're in edit mode on the
folder name. Type in the desired folder name, then press enter when done.

Good luck.
   -Paul
