Re: accessible adobe on the mac
Hi there y'all As I have said before, I like PDF pen pro for completing forms, and lately I've used it for reading PDF files. Even though I have to go page by page, it does a very good job of reading them. I will probably uninstall Adobe acrobat reader from my computer because I too was disappointed in how it worked. I wanted to try it and see if it works better, but no.

documentary tv show producer needs a blind marketer
hello group; i am very active on linked in and a friend referred a gentleman to me this week. he currently works for cisco and is starting his own company to produce documentary television projects. their first four episodes will concentrate on marketing. he is seeking a visually impaired or blind person who is primarily a marketer whether that be as an employee of a company or as a business owner. the key is your main focus and most of your duties need to be in the area of marketing. he determined that with all i have going on i am really more of an entrepreneur. he said we would do a different project down the road. I'm not counting on that even though he is a nice guy and comes highly recommended. but when i realized i wasn't a good fit for it, i told him i would do my best to find someone who is. if you think you fit this description and are interested in being featured in a tv show that will be more about what you do than the fact you are a blind person doing it; then please email me off list and I'll get you together with him. thanks for reading this, Maxwell Ivey Jr. phone 979-215-1770 Skype Maxwell Ivey twitter @maxwellivey as mr. midway www.midwaymarketplace.com email maxw...@midwaymarketplace.com as the blind blogger www.theblindblogger.net email just...@theblindblogger.net -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

I’m not sure whether everyone experiences this issue, but I know that it is not isolated to my device. Specifically, this is on an iPhone 5S with iOS 8.3.

Re: Cant' access help menu in Microsoft Word for mac
Hi Barry, I’d say auto-update is a critical part of the Office Preview, since builds quickly expire once updates are released. If auto update isn’t being installed for some of you, I’d consider that to be a bug and it may be worth trying a reinstall. There are multiple instances when the installer asks for your administrator password. I’m wondering if maybe one of these is being accidentally closed by some users, or isn’t gaining focus for whatever reason. Meanwhile, you should be able to download the updates directly from Microsoft at the following link: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3048768 Best, Grant On Apr 17, 2015, at 12:08 PM, Barry Hadder bhad...@gmail.com wrote: Are you using a Mac or Windows?

Don’t know which one is better. To be sincere, I yesterday pushed a button for the space grey 42mm with space grey link bracelet, the most expensive one. This is not because I like fashion, it’s because the sleekest most discrete and functionally solid one seems to be the most expensive. And since I wish or wanted to or was going to use it everyday by trying lots of tests coding apps for it, I thought it might be better to do it right while I’m there. So I pressed the button, but now I’m hard pressed to press yet another button, the cancel order one. More and more of my sighted friends, a few of my VIP friends and article after article of the trends going on, from apple going to bed with wall street as opposed to when jobs was there, apple becoming less focused on real experiences but increasing a bucket load of bullshit experiences, sending luxury brand fahsionistas, famous singers etc on a long list to wear a custom watch no one will be able to get anyway, as marketing tools instead of those really imaginative and creawtive ways jobs and his team used to have to make it dreamy, fun and edgy, from all this pep talk about the best this and that, I find the apple experience to be fading into a set of what used to be great advances to rushing to get something out. Read the article below, it really drives it thoroughly. http://www.fastcodesign.com/3042987/you-guys-realize-the-apple-watch-is-going-to-flop-right And now, going through my assignments in higher maths and artificial intelligence, I kind of see the watch as something I’ll probably leave on a desk to gather dust after a month or so of charging it all the time just to get text notifications, a few haptic pokes from fb or plain getting self conscious of lifting my arm to ask siri something, of which half the stuff will be erroneous anyway. There’s far more interesting stuff to do, such as use that 1600 AUD dollars to buy an extra 64 raspberry 2 mini computers with which I can apply my knowledge in A.I and do way more cool shit than talk to my watch for the weather and be its energetic slave, just because people said its gorgeous looking. Function over form. I think I’m off to find a different, less expensive (like a tenth), more simple and battery efficient health band, the jawbone up 4. Really, I wanted to jump on this but in the end my intuition says “fuck it, not worth the bucks”.

Voiceover and tables in Microsoft Word
Hi, I've just tried inserting and navigating a table into a microsoft word document on my mac. The inserting of the table was easy and accessible. Navigating the table also seems to work without having to interact with it. I tried using both tab key and voiceover keys with arrow keys, both seem to let me navigate the table and Voiceover gives the cell coordinates very well. The only thing that seems the problem at present is that when I have actually written some text into a cell and then tried to modify it by deleting some characters, VoiceOver doesn't give feedback on what letters are deleted. Could someone confirm this? This is really promising and provided Microsoft can fix some problems like the one above, we might actually get another word processing app on the mac that handles tables well. Also page transitions in a document longer than one page seems fine. I have set my preferences for Word to wrap text to window in preferences. How do I report any problems with Word and voiceOver to Microsoft? Andrew -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: Converting from pages to office for submission in college classroom
Hi, Just to add to this, if your daughter does decide to run Windows it will have to be Windows 8/8.1 as support for Windows 7 under Boot camp is being fazed out by Apple. That's if she has any of the Macs that were released at Apple's Spring Forward event. Kind regards, Sadam Mohammed Ahmed B.A. Business Information Systems RMIT University On 4/17/2015 9:47 AM, Grant Hardy wrote: Lately, Microsoft has been giving Office 365 subscriptions away to students for free, provided you attend an eligible school. You generally need to enter your school’s Email address to confirm eligibility. My understanding is that this is supposed to be a worldwide offer. Details may be found here: http://products.office.com/en-us/student?tab=students The current shipping version of Office for Mac is not accessible with VoiceOver but it appears that the next version of Office will be more accessible. Microsoft is offering a public preview of the next version of Office for Mac right now, and the latest preview build offers pretty good, basic VoiceOver accessibility in Word. If your daughter wants to switch to Office, give the Preview a go and see if it meets her needs. You can find more information about the preview here: https://products.office.com/en-us/mac/mac-preview That said, as Tim stated, you don’t have to switch away from Pages for the sole reason of wanting to save in Word format. You can export to Microsoft Word format from within any Pages document. The option is under the export submenu, found in the file menu. Lastly, if for whatever reason you need to fall back to Windows in the future, you don’t need to purchase a separate computer. You can install Windows on the same Mac machine you already use. You might have to buy Windows from the Microsoft Store if you don’t already have a license, but this should be cheaper and more convenient than buying a whole new PC. Here’s an article from Microsoft explaining Boot Camp. The article references Windows 7, but it includes a link to the Microsoft Store where you can buy Windows 8. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2647609 Best, Grant On Apr 16, 2015, at 7:21 AM, Pamela Francis gypsykitt...@gmail.com wrote: Hi folks, I'm asking this question in my daughters behalf.

If not, does anyone know of extensions that will allow her to convert her work from pages to word? I may be a bit late with these questions as she went out to purchase an HP computer for the sole purpose of gaining access to Microsoft office. Hopefully I can find the answers for her in order that she can ultimately take it back, allowing her to use the copy of pages she has to continue her schoolwork.

Re: saving messages before sending
Instead of saving to a file, I'd recommend saving it as a draft, or making a copy from your Sent folder once the message is sent. This way, you retain the meta data--addressees, time, subject, and so on. If all you need is the text, I can't say I've ever had to do this, so there's probably a better way… But I'd just select all, copy it, paste it into a new Text Edit document, then save that.

Re: Cant' access help menu in Microsoft Word for mac
The MS autoupdate will not install unless you have apps allowed from anywhere checked in your security settings and that is not advisable. Microsoft odviously does not code sign their autoupdate installer. I don’t consider this a bug. Apple has there own ecosystem for such things and I’m sure that once the MS office apps are released, they will be in the app store. Meanwhile, they are still in very early beta stage. I don’t think that having to check manually for updates periodically is a critical issue.

Nothing reads in Word
I installed the preview yesterday and also installed the update. However, when I create a new document and begin to type in the text pane, it seems as if I am not typing anything. But, I did activate the word count button and I received the message that there were fifteen words. I have also tried to open an existing Word document, which was available from my One Drive and all I heard was either beginning of text, or end of text. I tried interacting, but, that didn't change anything. Have any of you been able to either read what you typed, or, hav been able to read an existing document? Or, am I doing or not doing something to have this happen? I have not tried the other office apps, but, I will probably try either Excel or Outlook to see what happens.

Re: Well, I did it, Pre-ordered the Apple watch!
I guess this is a very wise way to look at things with regard to the 14 days. I just can't see myself getting too much use from it as others have said. I keep my phone in my shirt pocket within easy reach and earpods around my neck.

Re: Eloquence for the Mac.
Hmm. When you tried it, it worked but you are no longer using it yet you wish it was supported. This is confusing. I don't want to waste the time with it if it really isn't useable.

Re: Well, I did it, Pre-ordered the Apple watch!
It is a good thing. My order is due to ship around july and I am going for an advanced mobility course with some other uni mates so I will have the perfect occasion to really test it out against my initial opinion. If it really doesn’t fit my needs, I can always send it back via the local apple store. it really bogs down to battery life for me. But I’m sure next generations will get much better, especially with the upcoming leaps in battery life.

Re: Well, I did it, Pre-ordered the Apple watch!
Wow, I would hate not having actual Apple stores! I am sure i wouldn't have bought the watch without being able to see it first. I got the smaller size, 38mm I think. the larger one wasn't over the top huge, but it was bigger than I would have wanted. And since I don't need to see the screen, I figured I might as well stick with the smaller one. As far as describing the size, it's bigger than my current braille watch, but not by too horribly much. I actually got to put one on my wrist, and it felt very comfortable to wear. However, the stainless steel watch is noticeably heavier, the lighter weight was another thing I liked about the sports model.

Re: Nothing reads in Word
Hi Myrna, Have you checked Word 2016 preview to make sure that the updates went in? It should read 15.9. I had a heck of a time upgrading. Like George, I'm able to word process with it. However, I have started a laundry list to submit to Microsoft sometime soon. I believe those who have been using a Mac for a while may not have the problems I'm having or they have more tricks up their sleeves to try or push Word 2016. It would be terrific if the Mac version worked like the PC, but no such luck. Everything is scattered all over the place. I'll keep testing it, but if I have some serious word processing to do, I'll use word 2010. JMO. Oh, I was receiving a nagging error message from Apple that my system ran out of application memory. what did the trick was to do a disk cleanup if the update didn't go in. Take care.

question about audio hijack 3
Hello all, I can’t remember how to make a new sesion for audio hijack pro so I can have certain things as they once were on the previous version of audio hijack. So, I need VLC to work with soundflower to make it work with skype and I also want the system audio to be transmited so that I can play stuff say from safari to someone over skype and stuff. I dont want to make tons of blocks to help me with a huge chain of a project. If someone could please tell me how to do this again, as I’ve had this work only once with a friend of mine guiding me through the whole process, I’d greatly appreciate it. from Denise Barajas's Macintosh computer dbaraja...@gmail.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

While some enthusiasts like us would not be inconvenienced too much by this, I think Microsoft’s intent was to provide notifications of updates automatically so end users don’t have to worry about keeping up with Blogs, forums and support articles to find them. Since the auto update tool is working fine on my end, I’m not having any issues to report to MS. But if you or others don’t have it working, I’d urge you to send in some feedback. Just my two cents.

Re: Well, I did it, Pre-ordered the Apple watch!
Actually, I felt pretty much the same way until I got a FitBit Flex a couple of months ago, and started tracking sleep, steps, calories, etc. I like the Flex a lot, but there are some things the Apple watch does that the Flex doesn't, and they're things I'd like to have. I see myself mostly using the watch for the health applications, and anything I can do with Siri. As far as messaging and all that, it seems like it'll be much easier just to do that from the phone.

Re: Cant' access help menu in Microsoft Word for mac
Hi Barry, the auto update tool installed just fine on my system, and I’m set to allow apps only from the App Store or from identified developers. While I agree it’s not critical to be missing the auto update, I would consider it a bug because unless a user follows Blogs and support articles and downloads the update packages manually, they will not only be missing critical security updates, but since this is a Preview they will find that their builds expire after some time. While some enthusiasts like us would not be inconvenienced too much by this, I think Microsoft’s intent was to provide notifications of updates automatically so end users don’t have to worry about keeping up with Blogs, forums and support articles to find them. Since the auto update tool is working fine on my end, I’m not having any issues to report to MS. But if you or others don’t have it working, I’d urge you to send in some feedback. Just my two cents.

Re: Well, I did it, Pre-ordered the Apple watch!
I'm not sure whether to buy it either. It looks like one of the only ways to try it out though because I'm not anywhere near the two Apple Stores the state of Wisconsin has.

Re: Eloquence for the Mac.
When I tried it was quite early. At that stage I believe the software was designated Alpha. My friend who runs it says it works well except for the odd freezing and stability issues.

Re: new iPhone user
Congratulations! I'm glad to hear you're already enjoying the iPhone; some people who get it with the expectation of loving it straight away end up struggling for a while before they get the hang of things. For Facebook, your best bet is the official Facebook app. It's not perfect, but it works. Their other apps--Messenger, Rooms, and Stories--are also accessible. Twitter has an accessible, official app too, but I prefer third-party ones. Twitterrific is really nice, and is currently my primary app. Tweetings has some cool features and is worth a look, and I've heard that TweetLogix (possibly not spelled correctly) is another good option. As for other apps, that all depends on what you're looking for: games, word processors, book readers, social networking, navigation, money identifying, bar code readers, object identifiers, light detectors, and plenty more. As always, I highly recommend www.applevis.com http://www.applevis.com/, specifically the page for new iOS users, as a great place to start. Personally, the apps that pop into my head right off the bat are: * Voice Dream Reader, for reading just about any text/audio book or file that isn't encrypted. This includes Bookshare, Instapaper, Dropbox, and plenty more, all built into the app, and you can use third-party voices from the likes of Ivona Neospeech, and others to read. * Dice World is a collection of six dice games, and is beyond accessible. * Lire is an RSS reader with tons of great features, and is so accessible the developer has a section in the app's settings for VO users to decide what information to hear when reviewing article lists. * Red Laser is a free bar code reader that works really well, once you get the hang of it. * Downcast or Overcast are two nice apps for handling podcasts. I use Downcast, but I've heard great things about Overcast as well. * Carrit Fit, Carrot Hunger, and Carrot Weather are all fun apps. Fit and Hunger are for exercise and calorie tracking, respectively, and Weather is (not surprisingly) a weather app. All three are fully accessible. Anyway, AppleVis has a lot more information, including an entire page of apps we recommend for new iOS users.
