[JAWS-Users] Step to have Jaws announce spelling errors.

Hi Gang, If you want Jaws to announce that you have a spelling error I will post below how to turn it on. How it works is if you miss spell a word and you either arrow on to the miss spelled word Jaws will announce "spelling error." It does not announce any spelling errors when you just have

Re: [JAWS-Users] Formatting columns in word then getting jaws to readthe columns

The 1x1, 1x2 etc. was part of what I was having trouble with. I wasn't sure which number was the rows and which the columns. It took some trial and error to get it sorted. Thanks for the help. On 3/1/16, Teresa Arroyo wrote: > Hello Kimber, > > To do a table in Word

Re: [JAWS-Users] Formatting columns in word then getting jaws to read the columns

Kimber, It looks as though Theresa and George have answered your question, but meanwhile I located the specific page on that website for the Word 2013 textbook. It costs $90, $10 more than I paid a few years ago for her Word 2010 text. Here goes:

Re: [JAWS-Users] Turn off hidden characters

Yes, I know-I learned the hard way. I have an old Asus and I bought one for my wife. In my book they are great. Just do FN key+f9 and it toggles the pad off and on. I think that somebody on the list said that something has to be changed in the bios and it requires sight. Wayne -Original

Re: [JAWS-Users] Formatting columns in word then getting jaws to read the columns

Kimber, Adding a little to what Teresa said see below. There are many variations of this but here is one way. 1. Press ALT and then arrow to the right to Insert and press space bar. 2. Now TAB over until you hear Tables, it will be 3 or 4 TABS. 3. Press Space Bar and it brings you into a

Re: [JAWS-Users] Turn off hidden characters

Wayne, I have an HP laptop for work and have not been able to find any way to turn off the touchpad. I actually taped a piece of cardboard over the touchpad so I wouldn't keep touching it accidentally. Not exactly an elegant solution, but it works. This is a huge drawback of HP laptops, imo, and

Re: [JAWS-Users] Formatting columns in word then getting jaws to read the columns

Adrian, Thanks for the link. I did some poking around but couldn't find any reference to purchasing individual textbooks. And a subscription for $500 is way more than I want or need. I do a lot of work with Word and would definitely be interested in that book in particular. Thanks again. Kimber

Re: [JAWS-Users] Formatting columns in word then getting jaws to readthe columns

Hello Kimber, To do a table in Word 2013, do the following, Press alt to go to the ribbons. Arrow right or left til you get to insert. Go down arrow and you will find insert table. Press enter and it wil say dropdown list or something like that. Press enter or space bar. Then you wil find a

Re: [JAWS-Users] Formatting columns in word then getting jaws to read the columns

Kimber, In case no one has any better ideas, I've just looked over CathyAnne Murtha's MS word 2010 textbook and notice that she explains how to create columns using tables. Your guess was a good one. I realize you're using Word 2013, and I wouldn't feel comfortable posting a copy of her text.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Turn off hidden characters

The pad is the cause but I have an HP laptop and it does not have a simple toggle for turning on and off the mouse pad. My Asus was very simple and this may be my first and last HP computer. Wayne -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com]

Re: [JAWS-Users] Formatting columns in word then getting jaws to read the columns

Using a 3 column table is best. Column A is the description of the item, Column B is the A column of related info for the Item, and Column C is the B info for the item. Each row would contain the associated information for a single item. Depending on how wordy your information is, you might

Hi All I have Adobe Reader XI and when I try to read documents from the internet, I'm told something is wrong with Adobe Reader. I know that the latest version of Adobe Reader is Adobe CD, but I thought I read on this list that it isn't compatible with JAWS. Is there a later version of Adobe

Hi All, Hoping someone can help me out. I need to format a document with two columns. For the sake of example let's call them cause and effect. Obviously, or maybe not so obvious, each effect in column B is associated with the cause listed on that same line in column A. What would be the most

Re: [JAWS-Users] Turn off hidden characters

that's good that you resolved the issue you were having. I would think there would be a way to easily disable/enable the mouse pad. this way you can enable it just when it is needed, unless you also use screen magnification. BTW, it is really referred to as a track pad, the mouse pad refers to
