Ms Word and comments/track changes

2021-12-09 Thread jean parker
I am also interested in this thread. I find 2 problems:
1. Although I can make the comments appear I can not reliably move back and 
forth between the comment and the exact place in the text to which the comment 
applies with voiceover. 
2. My understanding is that voiceover is supposed to indicate places in a 
document where there is a track change by saying anotation. I can not get mine 
to do that.

Any help with these two questions would be appreciated.
Jean

MS Word and track changes

2021-11-18 Thread jean parker
Hello All:

I just started using ms word for mac and I need to be able to read and interact 
with comments and track changes. The problem is that voiceover is not reading 
the annotations in the text that indicate where a revision has taken place. Any 
ideas?

Hi Jonathan:

This sounds like something I would like to explore with my particular use case

Re: system voice irritation

2020-12-05 Thread jean parker
Jonathan:
Would that turn on quicktime from anywhere? The problems isn’t really starting 
play but navigating from zoom to the video player. If quick time or whatever 
could be started from zoom that would make it possible to turn off voice over 
thereby eliminating the possibility of the system voice interfering with 
things. 
VLC is a bit easier to manage. For whatever reason, the hot keys in Quicktime 
have never worked correctly for me.

Sometimes the screen share doesn’t go directly to vlc or quicktime though so it 
would be difficult to know where you are when command shifting around. I will 
do further experiments however.

How do you keep track of where are? For example, when you share a video and you 
need to switch apps to get to the video player how do you know where you are if 
vo is off?
Once you are in the app you can use hot keys or whatever.

BTW, are you using Big Sur? I am having some issues, not really access-related 
but still.

Anyway thanks for getting back to me on this.

muting system voice

2020-08-17 Thread jean parker
Hello All:

Is there a hot key to temperarily mute the system voice? I am finding that when 
using zoom the system voice is very intrusive and annoying. If there isn’t a 
hot key, is there a way to do it some other way? I have tried to do this 
through key commander with no luck.
Thanks in advance,
Jean

using powerpoint with voiceover on Mac

2020-07-27 Thread jean parker
Hello All:

I want to show slides using the slide show function in Microsoft Powerpoint. 
When I am in slide show mode however, the slides do not advance properly when 
voiceover is on. When voiceover is turned off the slides advance correctly. I 
have also tried using the space bar for this and also p for previous and n for 
next with the same result. Sorry but using Windows is not an option. 

The same slide show works fine with Keynote leading me to conclude that it is a 
powerpoint/voiceover issue.

Is this a bug? Any suggestions
Many thanks in advance for any help,

Jean

backblaze

2020-03-19 Thread jean parker
Hello All:

Thank you for the responses to my question but I am still having trouble with 
choosing the disk drive to back up. In the settings of Backblaze you can choose 
which disk drives to back up. When I interact with the table where they are 
listed, I get an error message saying that I can’t exclude my computer hard 
drive. No other parts of this table appear to be accessible. When I look at the 
number of files that have already been backed up it doesn’t seem to match the 
number of files on my drives. 

I have given it full disk access through the security settings on my Mac but 
nothing has changed. If someone could walk me through this process either on or 
off list I would be most appreciative.

Jean

backblaze and voiceover

2020-03-10 Thread jean parker
Hello All:

I am considering purchasing Backblaze and have some questions. I am a bit 
hesitant because they do not publish a customer support phone number and they 
don't say anything about accessibility on their web site. Thus, I would like to 
hear from the group about your experiences as follows:

1. I did the preliminary backup as part of the 15 day free trial. I found the 
interface to select drives tricky to use so I am not sure exactly what is 
selected for backup and what is excluded.

2. Naturally, the ultimate objective of having such a service is to be able to 
restore files in case of a problem. I went to the view and restore files 
interface but was also not able to find things like documents, desktop, 
downloads etc. How does this work and is the restore process accessible? If so, 
how is it done with voiceover?

3. What is people's experience with their customer support? Are they 
responsive? Do they have enough knowledge to be conversant about how to perform 
functions using voiceover?

Replying off list is fine in order to reduce clutter on the list. My email is:
radioforever @gmail.com

Many thanks in advance for your help.

Jean

braille notetakers

Hello All:

I am in need of an immediate replacement for my Vario Ultra which has just quit 
working. I know that there are many people on this list who were Vario users so 
I am hoping someone can help with recommendations. I am looking for something 
as close to the Vario as possible in function, size and price. I know that Mark 
Taylor who is the moderator of this list has recently viewed a number of 
devices at a tech conference so perhaps he can weigh in on this issue as well. 
I am also happy to correspond off list so as not to create clutter.

I would be most greatful for input as soon as possible.
Many thanks,
Jean

back blaze

Hello All:
Those who are using Back Blaze, how is the tech support? Do they know how to 
work with screen readers? I have used Carbonite for over ten years but have 
found their tech support has deteriorated significantly of late. This is most 
unfortunate as they have been unusually responsive in the past. As a result, I 
have canceled my account with them.

skype nonsense

2019-01-12 Thread jean parker
Hello All

The window chooser did it! Yay! Now, there are two pending problems. First, I 
find that the typical shortcuts do not work. For example, in the past I have 
been to us command 3 to go straight to the contacts with another shortcut to 
quickly make a call. These shortcuts don’t seem to work any longer. 

Second, when I open skype it goes to a preview window in which I have already 
set my preferences. I find no quick way to get rid of this.

Thanks so much for everyone’s input as it is now working more or less. If I can 
get these two questions solved I will be a happy kid.

skype nonsense

2019-01-10 Thread jean parker
Hello All:
Thanks everyone for your many suggestions. Perhaps I wasn’t clear, when I open 
skype all it says is that skype has no windows. Voiceover says absolutely 
nothing else. Everything in the menus is dimmed out so I can’t get to settings 
of any kind. 
Also, I am located in US, but I work for the folks in Geneva, so there should 
be no issue with location-related settings.
Any other ideas?
Jean

skype nonsense

2019-01-09 Thread jean parker
Mark and All:

I believe what you say is true but it isn’t my experience. I tried turning vo 
off and on while skype was opened and no change. Then I tried uninstalling 
skype and restarting my computer, then installing it again, still no change. 
Then I went to the web site and downloaded a fresh copy of the app and 
installed that, same thing. I can’t even go to skype preferences or settings to 
check the microphone and camera because absolutely every menu item in skype is 
dimmed out. When it opens it says skype has no windows and no matter what keys 
I press, nothing happens.

Happy for any further suggestions,

Jean

skype nonsense

2019-01-08 Thread jean parker
Hello All:
I made the mistake of updating skype trying to resolve yet another problem it 
was causing. Now it is totally nonfunctional. When I open it, it says that 
skype has no windows. None of the shortcut keys work except for command 1 which 
opens a totally inaccessible web site. Everything in the menus is dimmed out. I 
can’t even make the thing quit correctly and have to do a forced quit to close 
it. I am using the latest version of Mac OS. 
I haven’t heard any complaints about skype for a while so I assumed that it was 
behaving itself. Or, maybe everyone has just given up on it, a perfectly 
understandable response to be sure.
Any and all ideas welcome including how to get a previous version that will at 
least do something productive.

Jean

Hello All:

Ever since updating to Mojave, Itex Express will not let me save files in Word. 
How can I set it to save in Word, preferably by default? I have looked in the 
documentation for this but have found the manual less than helpful.
All ideas welcome.

Re: Clarification about alius folders

2018-11-17 Thread jean parker
Interesting, I have now tried it as you have explained it and everything works 
as expected. I think something must have happened with the first alius folder I 
tried to create because now I can’t delete it from the desktop. I was able to 
move it someplace else to get it out of the way but even then it can’t be 
deleted.

Thanks so much for all of your help.

Re: Clarification about alius folders

2018-11-17 Thread jean parker
Hi John:
Ok, I got it to work. What I was missing is that apparently the shortcut has to 
also remain in the original folder. Seems very strange.
Anyway, now the problem is that I can’t delete the first alius folder I made 
from the desktop. I clicked on remove from sidebar but that didn’t accomplish 
anythin. I have deleted the folder in question from where it was made.
I hope this makes sense, the only problem now is deleting the first alius from 
my desktop.

Re: Clarification about alius folders

2018-11-17 Thread jean parker
Hi John:
I created the alius folder by making the original folder in its original 
location as an alius folder. Then I moved it to my desktop and made a change in 
the alius folder. But it was still not reflected in the original folder.
It seems that I am doing something incorrectly in the creation of the alius 
folder. Any other ideas?

Clarification about alius folders

2018-11-17 Thread jean parker
Hello All:
I need some clarification about how alius folders work. I had been under the 
imppression that if a change is made in an alius folder that it would also be 
made in the actual folder. So, I put a folder that I use often on my desktop 
thinking that keeping an alius version of folders I use frequently would save 
me time. However, I added something to the alius version of that folder but the 
change has not been reflected in the actual folder located in my documents 
folder structure.
Can someone explain how this works?

Many thanks,
Jean

mail problem

2018-11-16 Thread jean parker
Hi All:

Thanks Tim for your tips on handling outgoing mail. I have reported this to 
Apple as I still find it clunky to use. I encourage others to do the same so it 
gets the needed attention. Aside from brief messages that require little or no 
correction, I have taken to composing in a word processor then pasting it into 
the message. Apple wants to hear from others experiencing this problem.

mohavi and voices question

Hello All:

I have recently upgraded to Mohavi. So I know there is the voice for the main 
functions of Voiceover, and I know about the system voice. But now there is a 
third voice that says things like heading or identifies an edit box for 
example. I think it was there prior to this update but I am not sure. Anyway, I 
don’t know what this is called and I want to make some adjustments to it. Any 
info on this would be most helpful. I have looked in voiceover utility but 
since I don’t know what the thing is called I can’t figure out how to adjust it.

My question is about the keyboard commands for siri and spotlight. I know that 
command plus the spacebar is supposed to activate siri but when I use this 
command spotlight comes up instead. What am I missing?

Google Suite

2018-06-27 Thread jean parker
Hello All:

Hoping someone can help.

Just now, I wrote to Google on their published accessibility team email address 
and my message was returned as undeliverable. Great!

The problem is that I am receiving an increasing number of documents that are 
either on Google Drive or some other location in Google Suite. My intent in 
writing to them was to get help accessing these documents. In the past, I have 
been able to access the ocasional document in Google Drive mostly by accident. 
I have screen reader optimization turned on but still can’t make any sense of 
it.

So, there are two questions. First, does anyone have a valid email or phone 
number for the accessibility people at Google and second, can someone provide 
good info about how to manage these documents?

All help greatly appreciated.

Perfect, just the answer I was seeking. I assume then that the calendar would 
also adjust for time changes in the spring and fall eliminating the need to

calendars, time zones time changes etc

2018-02-14 Thread jean parker
Hello All:

Let me try to explain this question properly.

I travel a lot for work and frequently change time zones. Simultaneously, I 
have to schedule appointments with people who are in various time zones. If I 
am in one certain time zone and I want to set a time with someone who is 
located in a different time zone I can figure out the time difference with no 
problem provided that I am staying on the time zone I am on when I set the 
appointment. However, if I set the appointment then change time zones myself 
the time I have set doesn’t come out right. To my way of thinking, a smart 
calendar should be able to adjust these timings correctly but that doesn’t seem 
to happen. Does anyone have suggestions for solving this problem? Is there a 
setting on the native calendar app that will accomodate this or is there an 
additional app I can use?

I hope I have explained this in a way that is understandable but if not, do ask 
for clarification.

Many thanks in advance for your help,

Jean

p cloud problems

2017-08-21 Thread jean parker
Hi Simon:

I have been using dropbox for many years. I have it linked to an external drive 
because I have a large number of files on their and I don’t want it taking up 
space on my hard drive. Currently, I have between 5 and 6 hundred gigs in my 
dropbox.

Recently, I went to make some adjustments to my dropbox and found that I 
couldn’t open it. So I tried to uninstall it and I keep getting error messages 
implying that it can’t deleted because it is in use, which it isn’t, or that 
some extentions are in use, or some other cryptic nonsense.

To try and remedy the problem I thought to try p cloud thinking that I could 
store all of my files in it and it wouldn’t take up space on my drive thereby 
eliminating the external drive issue.  I installed that and basically the same 
thing happened. It won’t open and it also won’t uninstall.

Honestly, I get so tired of this sort of thing!

p cloud problems

2017-08-20 Thread jean parker
Hello All:

Hoping someone can help. In an attempt to find a backup service that doesn’t 
take up space on my hard drive, I downloaded and installed p cloud. I put some 
files into the p cloud drive but according to the web interface it is not 
uploading those files. Now, whenever I land on p cloud in the finder it says p 
cloud drive can’t be opened because the original item can’t be found. So then I 
tried to uninstall p cloud and when I try to do this from the applications 
folder I get an error message saying that the item p cloud drive can’t be moved 
to the trash because it is opened. 

I can’t find anything useful in the context menu or anywhere else for that 
matter. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

Jean

duplicate emails

2017-06-23 Thread jean parker
Tim:

Yes you are correct, I have copies in both my sent folder and duplicated in all 
mail  In other words, there seem to be two copies of each sent message.  

I went to the composing tab in system preferences as you suggested. There is a 
button indicating how messages are to be sent to me either by CC or BCC. There 
is no option to uncheck this box. How do I get this to be unchecked?

skype and ios weirdness

2016-12-28 Thread jean parker
Hello All:

I have several skype accounts and today when I signed out of one and attempted 
to sign into another of my accounts the app wouldn't let me sign in. I enter 
the password and hit the sign in button but instead of opening the account it 
goes to a page where it is asking for date of birth, location etc, as if it 
thinks I want to open a new account. I have tried to sign in on two different 
accounts and get the same behavior each time. So I tried reinstalling skype to 
see if that helped but there was no change. The accounts are intact as I can 
sign in and out of them with no trouble on my computer.

Has anyone else had this happen and if so, how did you fix it?

As always, thank you in advance for any ideas or suggestions,

reading epub books in ibooks

2016-12-04 Thread jean parker
Hello Michael and All:

I have had similar experiences to Michael with Ibooks. Reading a book is fine 
and there is a way to navigate to the various pages in the document. I found 
however, that Ibooks doesn’t keep my place in the book. So I exported the files 
to text and have been reading them in Itext Express, I suppose Text Edit would 
also work for this purpose. Of course you lose the exact page numbering this 
way so if you needed a citation you would have to open the original in Ibooks 
to find it. 

If others have helpful experiences to share about this I would like to hear 
them.

editing a video

2016-11-21 Thread jean parker
Hello All:

I have two mp4 videos that I want to edit. I want to extract a clip from the 
videos and save them as  separate files. I opened imovie 9 but it is unclear to 
me as to how to proceed. Could someone walk me through the process, off-list is 
also fine so as not to clutter the list.

As always, many thanks in advance,

Hello Jonathan:

Thanks very much, that did the trick.
Now another question. Ever since this mail episode I get a message that says 
connection logging enabled. What is this and how can I get rid of it?

junk folder disappeared

2016-11-05 Thread jean parker
Helo All:

Yesterday I had to delete my gmail account from mail and reconnect it again. 
This was due to some gmail misbehavior. Everything was corrected when I 
reconnected the account except that my junk folder has disappeared. I wouldn’t 
care about this only I do often find valid messages that have landed in there.

How can I get this folder restored?

stability of the mac

2014-04-02 Thread Jean Parker
Hello to the person who is thinking of making the switch to mac:
I did this about a year ago and here are my thoughts.
First of all, the reason I switched was similar to that of other people, my PC 
became inoperable one to many times and it was at a time when I was to have 
begun an online  teaching assignment.  I came very close to losing my job 
because getting the PC laptop repaired/replaced and then everything restored 
took so long.  It was a total disaster!  

The learning curve was steep for me and it took about two months to return to 
any semblance of efficiency.  I am sure it is shorter for many people and 
longer for others.  So, during the transition, it would be helpful to allow for 
the time and energy it will take to learn the new system and screen reader.  

There are fantastic resources on this list for getting help.  These include 
several people who are authorised by Apple to teach the Mac using Voiceover.  
Keep in mind however, that Apple does not pay for this training and although it 
is reasonably priced, this is one area where Apple could do better.  I live 
close to an Apple store and although I had the One to One training the first 
year I had my Mac, I did not renew it.  I found that the trainers were very 
knowledgeable about the Mac but not about Voiceover.  I receive far superior 
information from this list without leaving home.  

If you live near an Apple store you also have access to something called a 
Genious Bar.  If you are having some difficulty with your computer, after an 
upgrade for example, you can take it to them and get it sorted out for free.  
Apple has phone support which others on this list have much more experience 
with than I do.  

In general, working with and maintaining the Mac is a much more streamlined 
process than a PC.  For example, my disk drive bit the dust the last time I was 
working in India.  Because I have Apple Care, it was replaced with no charge 
but I found that the restoration process was a thousand times easier and less 
time-consuming than it ever was on the PC.  Apple has Time Machine which makes 
a backup of your disk including data which you use to restore the system.  If 
you haven't backed up in a while, it even reminds you to do it.  

So, if you do switch to the Mac, be sure and allow yourself time to integrate 
the new knowledge systematically.  I for one, would never even consider 
returning to using a PC.  But if for some reason I had to, I would either use 
bootcamp or VM Fusion instead of going back to a computer environment which is 
so unstable and unpredictable.  To me, using a PC became unviable in my work 
environment so it had to go.  

The only thing I find more difficult with Mac is using Skype.  On the PC you 
can use GW Connect which manages voice and text chatting tasks very well.  When 
I called GW Micro to ask them if they would make a Mac version, I thought they 
were going to hang up on me.  So, that is the only compromise I feel I have 
made.  

Good luck with your decision and keep asking us questions.
Jean

urgent team viewer question

2014-03-24 Thread Jean Parker
Hello All:
I am having some difficulty with team viewer when connecting to a partner.  It 
keeps saying busy and I can't find the button for trustworthy.  Voiceover keeps 
saying decline which I don't want to hit.  Can someone please clarify if I need 
to do anything after I click on connect to partner?  Is it necessary to also 
click trustworthy?  If so, how can that be done if voiceover keeps saying busy? 
 Is there a setting that will fix this?
Thanks for all help,
Jean
