[JAWS-Users] saving and reading txt files
Hi I am a fairly new jaws 14 user and have found something strange from privious versions. When I save files (webpages as text for example), when I open them to read them a bunch of really strange characters is displayed along with the text, do I need to change a jaws setting by chance or is this something in notepad. If I select and copy info from a webpage and physically create a new txt document and copy said text into it it reads properly. As stated I never noticed this before so may be missing something. Thanks. Liz For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
Re: [JAWS-Users] saving and reading txt files
yes, I also have noticed some unwanted changes in JAWS 14. Whenever I try to copy selected text that doesn't copied instead unwanted text is copied. It doesn't happens with all websites.

Hello Trish, I have had that happen to me before also. I think it happens if you let the laptops battery go completely dead. Once you update your authorization all will be well! For some reason when the laptop battery goes dead or is removed this happens, not sure why.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Collapsed messages in WLM
When you use the Insert V to go to the Quick settings you land in a search box. Type Gr for instance and then arrow down. The first choice says something like tagged, all, or none. Pressing spacebar on this rotates through those three choices. Tagged is the default I think. So just press spacebar to all. Then tab three times to OK and press enter.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws Authorization
My only suggestion would be to run it in 40 minute mode and see if it runs out. I remember on another laptop I had previously it used to tell me the same thing when I plugged it in and then when I unplugged it. It never actually ran out, it would just warn me about that every so often. Anoying but never actually real so didn't pay attention to it much. Anyway, just test the 40 minute mode to make sure it in fact runs out. If that's the case then just call FS.

[JAWS-Users] Text analizer in Jaws and status cells in Focus Braille displlay
Hello all, Using Jaws 15 Windows 8 and 40 cell Focus Braille Displlay. My first question has to do with the text analizer in Jaws. When I using this feature, Especially when I am doing my translation jobs, Jaws would say things such as ‘font change at 12’, or ‘colsing quites and 16’. What does this mean? What do these numbers mean? I suppose it indicates changes in sertain places, but I don’t understand what the numbers are about. Is it the cell number? My second question has to do with status cells in the Focus Braille display. In these cells appear three numbers and a letter, usually a ‘v’ or a ‘p’. What does these characters indicate? Does this have to do with the poosition of the cursor? I have read the Focus Ufser’s Guide, but it doen’nt explain this. It talks about the status cells, but without detail. Thank you in advance.

It was stating it will run in 40 minute demo mode if I didn't activate, what's up with that? So, I followed the prompts and my serial number was showing, is this a new feature FSis doing to make sure we all are authorized or something? Strange very strange..

My first question has to do with the text analizer in Jaws. When I using this feature, Especially when I am doing my translation jobs, Jaws would say things such as ‘font change at 12’, or ‘colsing quites and 16’. What does this mean? What do these numbers mean? I suppose it indicates changes in sertain places, but I don’t understand what the numbers are about. Is it the cell number? My second question has to do with status cells in the Focus Braille display. In these cells appear three numbers and a letter, usually a ‘v’ or a ‘p’. What does these characters indicate? Does this have to do with the poosition of the cursor? I have read the Focus Ufser’s Guide, but it doen’nt explain this. It talks about the status cells, but without detail. Thank you in advance.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Where does it show the number of activations I haveleft using jaws 15?
Hi Jim, From: I posted a question to FS about how to determine the number of activation keys remaining. In case any of you wanted to find out, here are their instructions, verbatim: Thank you for contacting Freedom Scientific Support. We suggest going to FSACTIVATE.com http://www.fsactivate.com 2. Click on the continue product activation button. 3. Down arrow to: Verify the number of activation keys available for your Freedom Scientific product and press enter. 4. Down arrow to serial number and again down arrow to edit. Type in your JAWS serial number and press enter on the submit button. 5. Underneath the first seven digits of the authorization number, you will find the number of keys remaining. If you have any additional questions, please don't hesitate to contact us. Dave Original Message - From: Farfar Carlson Installing JAWS and Not Burn a Key This is relevant to Windows XP, so your folder names may be different. Also this is only a suggested process and the author will not assume any liability if it does not work as advertised on your system. But others have used it with success. PREPARATION Before you make any changes to your system you must preserve two folders on another drive or partition so you can copy them later. Do this now while you're thinking about it. Doing this after you've made changes is useless. 1. Open C:\Program Files\Freedom Scientific 2. Copy the folder called 'activator' 3. Paste this folder to some other drive on your computer or an external backup drive to keep it safe. 4. Do the same for the folder 'authorization'. 5. Now you will have these two folders preserved for when you need them later. Don't lose them or forget where you put them. 6. If you have some sort of archiving software or a synchronization software, set it up so that these two folders are automatically backed up. Then you don't even need to think about them. UPDATING JAWS If you update your version of JAWS it is recommended you recopy these two folders after the install is complete. Again if you use an automatic backup process you don't need to worry about this step. USING THESE FOLDERS Follow these steps if you are ever confronted with the message to re-authorize your installation of JAWS. This can occur if you change some hardware, or add a drive or RAM. 1. Be sure to be running the newest version of JAWS when you restart your computer. If you don't, the activation may not cover all versions you have installed. So if you have version 9, 11, and 12 installed, be sure to boot using JAWS 12. 2. If or when the activation dialog comes up, cancel out of the dialog. 3. Copy the two folders 'activator' and 'authorization' from your backup drive. 4. Paste both to the C:\Program Files\Freedom Scientific folder. 5. Allow all files to be overwritten. 6. Reboot your computer. CAVEATS This should work as long as you do so on the same machine (computer). It is not known to work if you try to paste these two folders onto the C: drive of a different computer. That would obviously violate the whole purpose of the keys -- to prevent JAWS from being installed on too many computers. Take care.

Re: [JAWS-Users] in setting up adobe reader, what things should I do to make it work best with Jaws 15?
Hi Jim, The steps below are for Adobe XI / 11: Note that there are links with the Security Enhanced section to explain the consequences of unchecking items there, and you may want to find out what they have to say. Open Adobe from your desktop shortcut or start menu then, proceed with the steps below. 1. Go into preferences with control-k. JAWS lands on an item in a tree view. If you have been here before, it will be the item you last opened. Arrow down to Security Enhanced. Note that this is the item below Security. Then uncheck these 2 options, the 2nd option is not necessary to uncheck but, optional: Enable Protected Mode at startup, needs to be unchecked.

Hi Jim, The steps below are for Adobe XI / 11: Note that there are links with the Security Enhanced section to explain the consequences of unchecking items there, and you may want to find out what they have to say. Open Adobe from your desktop shortcut or start menu then, proceed with the steps below. 1. Go into preferences with control-k. JAWS lands on an item in a tree view. If you have been here before, it will be the item you last opened. Arrow down to Security Enhanced. Note that this is the item below Security. Then uncheck these 2 options, the 2nd option is not necessary to uncheck but, optional: Enable Protected Mode at startup, needs to be unchecked. Enable Enhanced Security, does not need to be unchecked. Note.

Re: [JAWS-Users] in setting up adobe reader, what things should I do to make it work best with Jaws 15?
I have 11. But I have another question. I have a pdf file here, and when I open it to read it, jaws says nothing at all. I don't get the message about empty document or image file or anything. Jaws says nothing. I know the pdf file is a good one, because I sent it to my sighted wife and it reads on her computer just fine. So what does that mean? Before I had adobe on this computer I had Q reed on here, and it wouldn't read it either.

Re: [JAWS-Users] in setting up adobe reader, what things should I do to make it work best with Jaws 15?
Hi Jim, I found a note from when I asked how to assign files to programs. The notes are below: Hi All, How do you assign / associate file types to be opened with specific programs in Windows7? I went to Tools / Options didn't find the File Types tab / page! Where is it?! LOL LOL Do you use the context menu exclusively to assign / associate file types with specific programs in Widows7? If the File Types Tab / Page exists, would someone please tell me where it is? All help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks much, take care. Mike From: Ann Byrne Type file association in the search window, and you'll be deposited there. Ann From: Joni Colver In Windows 7 I typed file extension into the search box. I arrowed down to make a file type always open in a specific program. I entered on that. I chose dot doc files. Word 2010 was the default. I chose WordPad. When I opened a doc file there was gibberish. I then went back and chose Jarte. Now when I enter on a doc file it opens and is readable in Jarte. Thanks for asking the question Mike because now it is easier to open my multitude of doc files! Rather than opening Jarte and using the open dialog I can just enter on a doc file and it opens in Jarte. Joni From Rick Justice You can type, control, in the Run Dialogue box press enter, this will take you to the Control panel, press the letter D, to find Default Programs. You should be able to assign / associate file types here as well. Rick Take care.

Hi Jim, From: I posted a question to FS about how to determine the number of activation keys remaining. In case any of you wanted to find out, here are their instructions, verbatim: Thank you for contacting Freedom Scientific Support. We suggest going to FSACTIVATE.com http://www.fsactivate.com 2. Click on the continue product activation button. 3. Down arrow to: Verify the number of activation keys available for your Freedom Scientific product and press enter. 4. Down arrow to serial number and again down arrow to edit. Type in your JAWS serial number and press enter on the submit button. 5. Underneath the first seven digits of the authorization number, you will find the number of keys remaining. If you have any additional questions, please don't hesitate to contact us. Dave Original Message - From: Farfar Carlson Installing JAWS and Not Burn a Key This is relevant to Windows XP, so your folder names may be different. Also this is only a suggested process and the author will not assume any liability if it does not work as advertised on your system. But others have used it with success. PREPARATION Before you make any changes to your system you must preserve two folders on another drive or partition so you can copy them later. Do this now while you're thinking about it. Doing this after you've made changes is useless. 1. Open C:\Program Files\Freedom Scientific 2. Copy the folder called 'activator' 3. Paste this folder to some other drive on your computer or an external backup drive to keep it safe. 4. Do the same for the folder 'authorization'. 5. Now you will have these two folders preserved for when you need them later. Don't lose them or forget where you put them. 6. If you have some sort of archiving software or a synchronization software, set it up so that these two folders are automatically backed up. Then you don't even need to think about them. UPDATING JAWS If you update your version of JAWS it is recommended you recopy these two folders after the install is complete. Again if you use an automatic backup process you don't need to worry about this step. USING THESE FOLDERS Follow these steps if you are ever confronted with the message to re-authorize your installation of JAWS. This can occur if you change some hardware, or add a drive or RAM. 1. Be sure to be running the newest version of JAWS when you restart your computer. If you don't, the activation may not cover all versions you have installed. So if you have version 9, 11, and 12 installed, be sure to boot using JAWS 12. 2. If or when the activation dialog comes up, cancel out of the dialog. 3. Copy the two folders 'activator' and 'authorization' from your backup drive. 4. Paste both to the C:\Program Files\Freedom Scientific folder. 5. Allow all files to be overwritten. 6. Reboot your computer. CAVEATS This should work as long as you do so on the same machine (computer). It is not known to work if you try to paste these two folders onto the C: drive of a different computer. That would obviously violate the whole purpose of the keys -- to prevent JAWS from being installed on too many computers. Take care.
