[JAWS-Users] Re: jaws stopping using messenger
Hi Texas Could this be the problem. Category: MSN Messenger Question: When using MSN Messenger with JAWS, why does the Emoticon menu appear and then immediately close? Answer: The MSN Messenger emoticon dialog is not accessible to earlier versions of JAWS. The Emoticon menu opens and then immediately closes when using the keyboard or mouse. This is not a problem with Windows Live Messenger, supported by JAWS 7.10 and higher. If you are using MSN Messenger with an older version of JAWS, several improvements were included in JAWS 6.0 to help you work around this situation. * Press CTRL+SHIFT+M to paste text emoticons into messages. * A smart help message is spoken when you activate the Emoticon button. This message informs you that you should use the JAWS Insert Emoticon list. * If you click the Emoticon button, the menu stays open for continued mouse navigation. - Original Message - From: Carla Jo [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: jaws users jaws-users-list@googlegroups.com Sent: Monday, February 05, 2007 6:01 AM Subject: [JAWS-Users] jaws stopping using messenger I have jaws 5.1 and sometimes, while in windows messenger, jaws will just stop.

[JAWS-Users] Re: question about reading attributes
Hi Sharon Here is a learning module on Formatting a Document It explains quite a lot.. Please everyone do not get upset about this post as I am only trying to help. This learning module is entitled, Formatting a Document. This lesson demonstrates several formatting options available in the HJPad program, as well as techniques of locating and identifying text with specific format attributes. Currently, the only two programs that I've got running are JAWS for Windows and HJPad. My application focus is in the HJPad application. Let's open a document to work with. Ctrl+O c:\jaws451\training\enu\format.txt Good, we're in the document with the insertion point at the upper left-hand corner of a document that I have opened called, Format.txt. The Format.txt document is a letter that we wrote to our lead trainer, Dan Clark. The primary focus of this lesson is going to be on formatting a document. The whole idea behind having a prepared document like this one for you to work in is to show you how easy it is for you to go back after you've gotten all of your ideas typed up, and then carry out your formatting to make your document look more professional or academic, whatever applies to your situation. As we format this document, I'll be showing you some techniques to verify that a particular formatting action has been carried out. And finally, we'll be taking a look at several options that JAWS has built into it that will allow us to proof our document for content, format attributes, or both. I'm going to press the say all command and have JAWS read a little bit of the document that we've got up on the screen, and then I'm going to press the CTRL key to silence speech. I'll press INSERT+DOWN ARROW now Rover Red. One hundred eleven any street. My town comma, my state, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero dash zero, zero, zero, zero. Freedom Scientific BLV Group comma LLC period. Eleven thousand eight hundred thirty-one S-T Court end period. S-t period. Petersburg comma, F-L. Thirty-three thousand seven hundred sixteen. Dear Mr period Clark colon. It is not often that I get a chance to write such a letter. In any event, I'd like to take this moment to thank you for your kind, gentle, and professional manner while training our class on JAWS. So as we hear, we've just got a bunch of text up on the screen. Nothing's been formatted and everything is aligned along the left margin of this document. I'm going to go ahead and return my insertion point to the top of this document, CTRL+HOME. Top of file. blank So we hear blank, and we're on a blank line at the top of the document. However, I'd like for the date to appear at the top of my document. Insert time and date can be found within the Insert pull down menu, which is under Insert on the menu bar. So I'm going to press ALT+I to activate the Insert pull down menu. Alt I. Menu active. Insert. Date and time dot dot dot And this is the only item in the Insert menu. I'll press ENTER to open the date and time dialogue. Enter. Leaving menus. Date and time dialogue. Available formats colon list box. Three slash five slash ninety-nine. One of thirteen. Now this Insert format list box contains eleven different ways to let somebody know what day it is, and two different ways to let them know what time it is, should we choose to. We can navigate this list view in the usual way, either by arrowing through it or first-letter navigation. So if I wanted to let the recipient of my letter know that I wrote on a Friday, as opposed to 3/5/99, I could simply press the letter F and my focus will move to the first item in this list beginning with the letter F. I'll go ahead and do this now. F. Friday comma, March zero-five comma, nineteen ninety-nine. And we've got a few other options in this list beginning with Friday, but I'm just going to select this one. I'll press ENTER. Enter. Edit. We hear that my application focus moves back to the main document edit field, and I'm going to do a say current line where I'm at right now. Friday comma, March zero-five comma, nineteen ninety-nine. We hear that this has been inserted into our document on that blank line that we generated. Now let's say that I also want to let my recipient know what time this letter was written. I'm going to go ahead and activate the Insert pull down menu. ALT+I. Menu bar. Menu active. Insert date and time dot dot dot. I'll press ENTER to open the date and time dialogue. Enter. Leaving menus. Date and time dialogue. Available formats colon list box. Three slash five slash ninety-nine. One of thirteen. And I know that I'm in the ten o'clock hour here, so I'm going to press the number 1 to jump to the first item beginning with ten, or the number 1 rather. One nineteen ninety-nine dash zero-three dash zero-five. I'll press it again. One ten fifty-eight colon zero a-m. And I'm going to go ahead and select this and press ENTER on it. Enter. Edit. Now if I do a read
[JAWS-Users] Re: important information regarding email messages and IE 7
Hi Spam and Phishing Remember in the introduction we said that it has been reported that there is about 171 billion e-mails sent per day? A report issued by MessageLabs.com in November 2006 states that 74% of all e-mail is spam, that one in 137.5 e-mails contain a malware of some sort, and that one in 200 e-mails is a phishing attempt. That's right ... the majority of e-mail that is sent per day is useless unwanted trash that constantly fills our inbox. For those who do not understand what this means let me define each of these terms. Definition list of 3 items Spam = A spam e-mail is basically unwanted and unsolicited e-mail. There are companies whose entire business model is to send out unsolicited e-mail and flood your Inbox with trash. Spammers tend to get your email addresses by either stealing or buying contact lists, when you sign up with a service that sells your information, or when someone is infected with malware and has your email address in their address book. The best way to avoid spam is to make sure you read the privacy policy of any site you enter your email address into. Also it is important to never publicly post your email address as there are programs that scan the Internet for email addresses posted publicly. Malware e-mail = If an e-mail contains malware it contains a small program that if you execute it, will infect your computer with a virus, worm, Trojan, backdoor, or spyware. These programs can cause loss of data and loss of personal information such as your online banking information. It goes without saying that you definitely do not want any of these programs running on your computer. Your best way to avoid getting infected from these emails is to not open anything from someone that you do not know or trust. Phishing Attempt = A phishing attempt is when you receive an e-mail that is written and formatted in such a way as to trick you into thinking they are a legitimate company. They typically masquerade as e-mails from legitimate companies such as a financial institutions and contain links back to sites that look real. The reality, though, is these sites and e-mails are all fake and are simply being used to try and steal your information so that they can attempt an Identity Theft with your information. With that said, it is advised that you never provide information such as your date of birth, social security number, or other personal information at site that you arrived at from a link in an e-mail. list end To combat spam, malware, and phishing attempts it is advised that you use have installed and updated on your computer the following: List of 3 items . Anti-Spyware Product such as Spybot - Search Destroy, Lavasoft Ad-Aware, or Webroot Spysweeper . An anti-virus product that you keep updated! .

[JAWS-Users] Re: what is the system tray
HiMaralyn 07 Introduction to Windows This learning module is entitled, An Introduction to Windows. This lesson introduces you to the primary controls of the Windows Desktop and how to navigate between and within these controls. We will also discuss how to modify the Windows Desktop for optimal use with JAWS for Windows. You can think of the Desktop as the parent window to all other windows. Each of the components of the Windows Desktop and the various programs or applications that you want to run on your computer, such as your word processor, e-mail package, or Internet browser can all be considered descendant windows of the Windows Desktop. As we move on through this tutorial, you'll get a good idea of how the hierarchy of Windows works. Currently, my focus is on the Windows Desktop, but there is nothing selected. If your focus is not on the Windows Desktop, please press LEFT WINDOWS+M. Okay, now that we're at a common starting point. I'm going to press the TAB key one time. TAB. Start button. To open, press ENTER. We hear JAWS speak, Start button. The Start button is what's activated when you press the Windows logo key. When you press spacebar on the start button or when you activate the Windows logo key, it opens a menu called the Start menu. The Start menu is where you go to launch all your Windows programs. We'll come back to the start menu later. There are three other parts of the desktop that I'd like to show you. To move to the next item, simply press the TAB key. Most of you will probably land on the Task bar. However, some of you may hear something like the following: TAB. Tool bar. Launch Internet Explorer browser button. A series of graphical buttons. Menus usually contain the same options. This is the Quick Launch Toolbar and it can be turned on or off by the end user. By default in Windows '98, the Tool bar is turned on. By default in Windows XP, it is turned off. If you landed on the Quick Launch Toolbar, press TAB one more time and you will land on the task bar. TAB. Task bar. To move through items, press LEFT or RIGHT ARROW. The task bar is where we can go to find out what programs are currently open on our computer. To navigate the Task bar, simply press the LEFT and RIGHT ARROW keys. I'm going to press the LEFT ARROW now. JAWS TAB. I hear, JAWS tab, and now I'll press the RIGHT ARROW. JAWS TAB. From this, we know JAWS is currently the only program running on my computer. If you heard something else, it means that you currently have more than one program running on your computer. For the moment though, we won't worry about that. I'm going to press the TAB key again. TAB. System tray. JAWS speaks the first icon. Use your left and right arrows to move through all the items in your system tray. Show how you wrap back to the beginning. Mention that you can move to the system tray in this manner, but it is much more efficient to use INSERT+F11. Press TAB again. TAB. Desktop. List view... Now we land with our focus on the Desktop. The Desktop list view contains icons, or shortcuts, that allow you to launch programs or access folders and files. As a Windows user, you can specify what shortcuts you want to be placed on your Desktop. Of course, we can easily remove these shortcuts from the Desktop, as well. When we first tabbed to the Desktop list view, we heard JAWS speak, Desktop. List view. So, moving to our Desktop gave us several important pieces of information. First, it told us that we had just tabbed to the control called the Desktop list view. Next we were told that the item we landed on in this list was selected or not selected, and it's name. We also learned that there were a total of ## items in this list on my computer, and that the focus is on the ## item in the list. Finally, JAWS' Tutor Mode instructed us how we could move in this environment. If the item that we're over isn't currently selected, any action we attempt to take regarding this item wouldn't work. Before we can take an action in a list view such as this, the computer wants to know which item we want to change. We could select the item that we're over by pressing the SPACEBAR, or by moving to another item with our ARROW keys as Tutor Mode instructed us. You can unselect an item on the desktop by pressing CTRL+SPACEBAR. Select the icon if needed. My Computer. Space As you heard, My Computer, the first item in my list, is now selected. I can move around within the Desktop list view by using my UP, DOWN, LEFT, and RIGHT ARROW keys. Throughout these lessons, we're going to encounter some list views that are arranged vertically, in which you only need to use the UP and DOWN ARROW keys to navigate. However, the Desktop list view is arranged in rows and columns, and since the Desktop list view is definable by the user, the number of times that you need to press the LEFT, RIGHT, UP, and DOWN ARROW keys is going to vary from
