[JAWS-Users] updating thunderbird

I'm currently running an earlier version of Thunderbird (V31.2.0) email. I had it set not to update automatically. I Have since checked the box to update automatically in the options menu. But when I close the program and reopen it the program does not check for updates. Is there a shortcut

Hi David and all Thanks for all of your work. Now is a question for the new feature. Do you thing a message box which report all user options, such as the selected Jaws version, overwrite script, recompile etc needed when finish installing? Thought of it, and tried adding to the program but it

Re: [JAWS-Users] Internet security

Come to think of it, I moved on from Mod32 to Vipre and now to Microsoft Security Essentials, which started out poorly in performance ratings but has since gained a good affectedness score. It's been a long time since I looked at a table comparing the effectiveness of different security

Re: [JAWS-Users] Internet security

Kevin, your general comment might have some validity, but ESET Nod32 is valid, reputable security software. However, I'll add that the security expert I rely on switched me from Nod32 to Vipre. Effectiveness ratings in this area seem to go up and down like yoyos. I wouldn't be surprised if

I use as most of us here on the jaws list Vipre! it's very accessibility once you get the hang of using it. I've had no problems since I installed Vipre, you can use other programs too but I have not needed to. most likely the guy was just trying to sell you something. I encountered that

Goldwave is accessible and nicely supported for accessibility and in every other way by its creator, who regularly monitors his email. As I recall, the first many uses are free, after which you pay a nominal charge. It must be a one-time fee because I haven't made a payment in years.

Hi all, I just saw this thread. Has anyone mentioned that you can keep appending text to the clip board with JAWS with command windows+JAWS Key+C? You can just select the text and keep pressing that command after you have copied the first text to the clip board. Then, you can read and edit the

Re: [JAWS-Users] How to select non-contiguous text

Re: [JAWS-Users] How to select non-contiguous text

It might be easier to use the Find and Replace capabilities of Word to replace the formatting. However, Word 2013 (and I think Word 2010 as well) has a selection tool that can be used to select noncontiguous blocks of text with similar formatting. You start by finding the first occurrence of the

Re: [JAWS-Users] How to select non-contiguous text

Annette, I can add one more useful function for the f8 command, although it doesn't help with the noncontiguous text subject of this thread. As the instructions you quote indicate, press F8 and listen for what it says. With the first press, JAWS doesn't verbalize anything. I'll come back to

Re: [JAWS-Users] How to select non-contiguous text

Hi, Your idea is a great one. It is so frustrating when you are trying to format a document and somehow you fail to apply the same attributes to each desired set of text. I did a little bit of research and have not found a solution to accomplish the selection of non-continuous text in a Word

Re: [JAWS-Users] How to select non-contiguous text

To create an accessible document, it is important to use styles throughout, and in a consistent manner. The styles are then preserved if you create a tagged PDF file, or an HTML file, allowing the recipient to use structural navigation with a screen reader. The other benefit of using styles well

Re: [JAWS-Users] How to select non-contiguous text

Thanks. Have just realized that perhaps the exact thing can't happen as of now. Maybe in the future. When selecting non-contiguous text, or even items from a list view, user needs to hold down the control while navigating to the next text or item to be selected. There's no problem when selecting

Re: [JAWS-Users] How to select non-contiguous text

The best way to accomplish this is through the use of styles. Create styles that match the formatting attributes for the particular items you want to format and then select each piece and apply the style. On Apr 24, 2016, at 9:55 AM, Adrian Spratt wrote: My sense is

My sense is that JAWS operates too linearly for this to work as you describe. However, this idea occurs to me as a workaround. With your main document open, start a new one in which you pre-set the font attributes you want to apply to the passages in question. Then use MS's paste special
