Hi Jerry,
I would say the best way to learn the invoice is to sit down with your wife
and have her explain it to you.  You are able to get from cell to cell by
arrowing and groups of cells by adding a control to the arrow.

Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Starting Jaws and switching Jaws versions on your
W-10computer

Kimsan, I want to back up what Jim and Mike are saying. it's hard to see how
useful pinning applications can be until you work with them. Mike posted a
useful list of his pinned apps, and except for JAWS, mine is similar, if in
a different order. Here's an example of how useful pinned applications can
be. 

Suppose I start the day by opening my email. In my case, I press Windows
key+4. Then I want to copy the text of a long, complex email into a Word
document. However, I find that first copying complex texts into Notepad
clears up a lot of mess. So I press windows key+3 to bring up Notepad, copy
the text, then copy the result, close Notepad with alt-F4, then open Word
with windows key+2. 
I paste the text into a document. 

Then suppose I'm ready to return to  my email. All I need do is press
windows key+4, and my focus is immediately back there. No need to rotate
around with alt-tab, etc. 

Then something in an email makes me want to find out more online, so now I
press Windows key+1 to bring up IE. There, I find information that I want to
add to a document I've been working on. So I press windows-key+2 to return
to word. That done, I'm ready to resume email, so I press windows key-4 and
I'm back where I started. 

I hope this message is more useful than just convoluted. When I first
started using windows 7, I was following directions from a textbook and
tried this pinning method as an exercise. But once I worked with it, I
realized just how easy it made moving from application to application. The
numbers you assign to your applications soon become second-nature. In my
case, I pretty much set them up as they occurred to me. There's no logical
sequence.

For the record, I don't pin JAWS to the taskbar. I rarely move from version
to version. I have JAWS 18 on all the time, unless I mute it, and in that
case, pinning can't help.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Another Excel question

2016-12-16 Thread Annette Carr

Hi Adam,

You can copy the formula and paste it in as many of the cells in that
column.  As long as the relationship between the cell with the formula and
the cells the formula is using to perform the calculation stay the same you
will be fine.  

So if you have a formula in f2 that adds the values of cells a2, b2, c2, d2
and e2, no matter where you move the cell with the formula, it will always
add up the values from the 5 cells to the left of it.

If you use the $ sign before any column or row reference in your formula,
then they will not change when you paste the formula into another cell.

Thank you to everyone who has shared information relating to my question
about copying columns in Excel.  I now have a different question which I
can't find an answer for online.

Is it possible to copy a formula so that its references are relative to
where it is placed?  A simple example would be if I had a formula in C1 so I
could add together A1 and B1 but then wanted to repeat this for all rows to
20.  I don't really want to keep typing out the same formula 20 tyimes.

Many thanks,

Windows key + 5, that will load whatever version of Jaws Windows key + 5, is

2. Notepad.

3. Email Client.

4. Word.

5. J15.

6. J16.

7. J17.

8. Firefox.

9. Openbook 9.

So pressing the Windows key + a number from above will open the program

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Starting Jaws and switching Jaws versions on your
W-10computer

Hi Jaws users list.

A tip for starting, and switching versions of Jaws on your W-10 computer.

In my experience with W-10.

I like to pin my Jaws icon to the taskbar. For example, my Jaws 18 is the
second item on my taskbar, so pressing Windows key+2, will start Jaws 18 on
my computer. In my opinion, this is a better way to start Jaws. I think it
works more consistently than a standard Jaws keystroke like control+ALT+j.

How to pin Jaws to the taskbar.

Press the windows key, or press enter on the start button.

Tab two times, to the apps view list box.

Now just press the letter J, until you get to the Jaws version you wish to
pin to the taskbar.

For example Jaws 18.

You will here, Jaws 18 collapsed, press enter to expand.

You should hear, Jaws 18.

Make sure that Jaws 18 is highlighted.

Press the applications key, go down to, more submenu, right arrow one time,
press enter on pin to taskbar.

You are now done.

Now press windows key+m, go to desktop.

Tab twice to the taskbar, or just press windows key+t, this lands you on the
first item pinned to the taskbar.

Press the right arrow key, and count the number of icons on your taskbar,
until you come to Jaws 18.

Again, Jaws 18 is the second item on my taskbar, to start Jaws 18 on my
computer, just press windows key+2.

This is a much smoother way, of starting Jaws on your W-10 computer.

Now Jaws 16 is the eighth item on my taskbar, so I press windows key+8, to
start Jaws 16.

So this is a great and easy way of switching from one version of Jaws to
another.

I hope you all of enjoyed this tip about starting Jaws on your W-10
computer.

I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas, and a happy new Year!

P.S. My three month cancer check-up was free of any new bladder tumors.
Praise the LORD! Thanks for praying!

Yes it does if you press the Windows key + T to put you on the taskbar.  you
will be on the 1st item.  Right arrow & count.  You start on, 1, so right
arrow , that'll be 2, right arrow that'll be 3Once when you get to Jaws,
& let's number 5, press escape to get off the taskbar, now if you invoke,
Windows key + 5, that will load whatever version of Jaws Windows key + 5, is

2. Notepad.

3. Email Client.

4. Word.

5. J15.

6. J16.

7. J17.

8. Firefox.

9. Openbook 9.

So pressing the Windows key + a number from above will open the program
assigned to the number.
Take care.

W-10computer

Hi Jaws users list.

A tip for starting, and switching versions of Jaws on your W-10 computer.

In my experience with W-10.

I like to pin my Jaws icon to the taskbar. For example, my Jaws 18 is the
second item on my taskbar, so pressing Windows key+2, will start Jaws 18 on
my computer. In my opinion, this is a better way to start Jaws. I think it
works more consistently than a standard Jaws keystroke like control+ALT+j.

How to pin Jaws to the taskbar.

Press the windows key, or press enter on the start button.

Tab two times, to the apps view list box.

Now just press the letter J, until you get to the Jaws version you wish to
pin to the taskbar.

For example Jaws 18.

You will here, Jaws 18 collapsed, press enter to expand.

You should hear, Jaws 18.

Make sure that Jaws 18 is highlighted.

Press the applications key, go down to, more submenu, right arrow one time,
press enter on pin to taskbar.

You are now done.

Now press windows key+m, go to desktop.

Tab twice to the taskbar, or just press windows key+t, this lands you on the
first item pinned to the taskbar.

Press the right arrow key, and count the number of icons on your taskbar,
until you come to Jaws 18.

Again, Jaws 18 is the second item on my taskbar, to start Jaws 18 on my
computer, just press windows key+2.

This is a much smoother way, of starting Jaws on your W-10 computer.

Now Jaws 16 is the eighth item on my taskbar, so I press windows key+8, to
start Jaws 16.

So this is a great and easy way of switching from one version of Jaws to
another.

I hope you all of enjoyed this tip about starting Jaws on your W-10
computer.

I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas, and a happy new Year!

P.S. My three month cancer check-up was free of any new bladder tumors.
Praise the LORD! Thanks for praying!

Time for more coffee! Smiles.

2016-12-16 Thread Jim

Hi Reed, for example after shutting down say Jaws 17. Some times I would
have to press the Jaws short cut keystroke control+ALT+j a few times to get
Jaws 18 to come on. But when I do windows key +2, jaws 18 comes right on. I
also pin all my most used program icons to the taskbar as well. I also make
many short cuts on my desktop to many programs and internet short cuts and
so on.

Hey Jim, 

Why does your method work more consistently?  This isn't a criticism but a
curiosity.
Where would your method work when the shortcut key method wouldn't and vice
versa?  Have you noticed any patterns?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Starting Jaws and switching Jaws versions on your W-10computer

2016-12-16 Thread Kimsan

I completely understand how useful the taskbar and pinning items are.
I've been pinning and removing items from there since its birth.  I have 10
items on my taskbar which I do not remember all the items, except for the
internet and my email program which are windows 1 and 0 for ie and outlook
respectively..
I only have one jaws version loaded as well. I have 18 but didn't find it
well worth installing, so I just run with 17.
For now, I still use the windows key r jaws then version number and press
enter to launch jaws when necessary.
I'm going to go eat my left over spaghetti now. Mommas hungry.

Kimsan, I want to back up what Jim and Mike are saying. it's hard to see how
useful pinning applications can be until you work with them. Mike posted a
useful list of his pinned apps, and except for JAWS, mine is similar, if in
a different order. Here's an example of how useful pinned applications can
be. 

Suppose I start the day by opening my email. In my case, I press Windows
key+4. Then I want to copy the text of a long, complex email into a Word
document. However, I find that first copying complex texts into Notepad
clears up a lot of mess. So I press windows key+3 to bring up Notepad, copy
the text, then copy the result, close Notepad with alt-F4, then open Word
with windows key+2. 
I paste the text into a document. 

Then suppose I'm ready to return to  my email. All I need do is press
windows key+4, and my focus is immediately back there. No need to rotate
around with alt-tab, etc. 

Then something in an email makes me want to find out more online, so now I
press Windows key+1 to bring up IE. There, I find information that I want to
add to a document I've been working on. So I press windows-key+2 to return
to word. That done, I'm ready to resume email, so I press windows key-4 and
I'm back where I started. 

I hope this message is more useful than just convoluted. When I first
started using windows 7, I was following directions from a textbook and
tried this pinning method as an exercise. But once I worked with it, I
realized just how easy it made moving from application to application. The
numbers you assign to your applications soon become second-nature. In my
case, I pretty much set them up as they occurred to me. There's no logical
sequence.

For the record, I don't pin JAWS to the taskbar. I rarely move from version
to version. I have JAWS 18 on all the time, unless I mute it, and in that
case, pinning can't help.

2016-12-16 Thread Mike B.

Hi Jyandt,

I'm not sure of what you're asking.  Do you want to remove File Manager? 
Or, if you right arrow after pressing, Windows key + T, do you have other 
items pinned to the Taskbar to the right of File Manager?  If you want to 
remove File Manager from the taskbar, with File Manager highlighted, press 
your applications key or shift + F10 to open the context menu, arrow down 
to, unpin this program from Taskbar, & press enter.  Press escape to get off 
the Taskbar, & the next time you go to the Taskbar File Manager will be 
gone.  If you had anything else pinned to the right of File Manager they 
will move to the left 1 spot.  Let's say that you have File Manager pinned 
to the 1st spot, Notepad pinned to the 2nd spot, Word pinned to the 3rd 
spot, & Firefox pinned to the 4th spot, after unpinning File Manager the 
other programs will all move to the left 1 spot.  So, after unpinning File 
Manager you would have Notepad at #1, Word at #2, & Firefox at #3.

I hope I haven't confused you as much as I did myself trying to explain 
that!  LOL

Yes it does if you press the Windows key + T to put you on the taskbar.  you
will be on the 1st item.  Right arrow & count.  You start on, 1, so right
arrow , that'll be 2, right arrow that'll be 3Once when you get to Jaws,
& let's number 5, press escape to get off the taskbar, now if you invoke,
Windows key + 5, that will load whatever version of Jaws Windows key + 5, is

1. IE11.

2. Notepad.

3. Email Client.

4. Word.

5. J15.

6. J16.

7. J17.

8. Firefox.

9. Openbook 9.

So pressing the Windows key + a number from above will open the program

Hi Jaws users list.

A tip for starting, and switching versions of Jaws on your W-10 computer.

In my experience with W-10.

I like to pin my Jaws icon to the taskbar. For example, my Jaws 18 is the
second item on my taskbar, so pressing Windows key+2, will start Jaws 18 on
my computer. In my opinion, this is a better way to start Jaws. I think it
works more consistently than a standard Jaws keystroke like control+ALT+j.

How to pin Jaws to the taskbar.

Press the windows key, or press enter on the start button.

Tab two times, to the apps view list box.

Now just press the letter J, until you get to the Jaws version you wish to
pin to the taskbar.

For example Jaws 18.

You will here, Jaws 18 collapsed, press enter to expand.

You should hear, Jaws 18.

Make sure that Jaws 18 is highlighted.

Again, Jaws 18 is the second item on my taskbar, to start Jaws 18 on my
computer, just press windows key+2.

This is a much smoother way, of starting Jaws on your W-10 computer.

Now Jaws 16 is the eighth item on my taskbar, so I press windows key+8, to
start Jaws 16.

So this is a great and easy way of switching from one version of Jaws to
another.

I hope you all of enjoyed this tip about starting Jaws on your W-10
computer.

I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas, and a happy new Year!

P.S. My three month cancer check-up was free of any new bladder tumors.
Praise the LORD! Thanks for praying!

Re: [JAWS-Users] Starting Jaws and switching Jaws versions onyour W-10computer

2016-12-16 Thread Mike B.

Hi Reed,

I'm not jim, but I'll throw in my 2 cents worth.  With all the keystroke 
combinations that are available with JAWS & various programs like Word, 
Excel, Outlook, & whatever other programs assigning shortcut keystrokes can 
run into problems wile using other programs.  For instance, I usually run at 
least 3 different versions of JAWS, so if using up other keystrokes like, 
Control, Alt, + J, for 1 version Control, Alt + other letters or numbers for 
the other versions of JAWS, these other keystrokes might be used in other 
programs, so let's say I wanted to unload J17, & load J16 with the 
keystroke, control, alt, + 6, while in Word, & this is also a shortcut 
keystroke in Word, well I'm losing the function of that keystroke for either 
Word or J16 while in that program.  Also, I just find using the taskbar 
keystrokes more consistent & reliable.
Take care.

Why does your method work more consistently?  This isn't a criticism but a

Where would your method work when the shortcut key method wouldn't and vice

Wonderful tip Jim.
There are times I forget which item is on the taskbar, so to launch jaws, I
simply bring up the run dialog and type jaws followed by the version number.

Hi Jaws users list.

A tip for starting, and switching versions of Jaws on your W-10 computer.

In my experience with W-10.

I like to pin my Jaws icon to the taskbar. For example, my Jaws 18 is the
second item on my taskbar, so pressing Windows key+2, will start Jaws 18 on
my computer. In my opinion, this is a better way to start Jaws. I think it
works more consistently than a standard Jaws keystroke like control+ALT+j.

How to pin Jaws to the taskbar.

Press the windows key, or press enter on the start button.

Tab two times, to the apps view list box.

Now just press the letter J, until you get to the Jaws version you wish to
pin to the taskbar.

For example Jaws 18.

You will here, Jaws 18 collapsed, press enter to expand.

You should hear, Jaws 18.

Make sure that Jaws 18 is highlighted.

Press the applications key, go down to, more submenu, right arrow one time,
press enter on pin to taskbar.

You are now done.

Now press windows key+m, go to desktop.

Tab twice to the taskbar, or just press windows key+t, this lands you on the
first item pinned to the taskbar.

Press the right arrow key, and count the number of icons on your taskbar,
until you come to Jaws 18.

Again, Jaws 18 is the second item on my taskbar, to start Jaws 18 on my

Hey Jim, 

Why does your method work more consistently?  This isn't a criticism but a
curiosity.
Where would your method work when the shortcut key method wouldn't and vice
versa?  Have you noticed any patterns?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws 18 shortcut on desktop

2016-12-16 Thread Adrian Spratt

Louise, first decide whether you want to keep both versions of JAWS. If you do, 
and if you decide to use the control-alt-j shortcut for 18, you will first need 
to remove it from 17. Or else keep the j shortcut with 17 and create a new one 
for 18. To remove a shortcut, follow the same steps, except when you get to 
"j," just press the delete key. Escape to get out of the dialog and you should 
be fine.

Hi Fred,

Here's another approach.
1. Go to the Desktop with, Windows key + M.
2. Highlight the JAWS icon.
3. Press, Alt + Enter, to open the JAWS Properties.
4. Tab to the Shortcut key field, and type in the shortcut key combination of 
your choice, like Alt-Control-J or whatever other combination you prefer.
5. Tab to Apply button, hit Space, then tab around again to the Okay button and 
press Enter.
I have always had the best luck by 1st, Applying then Okaying in making

Fred,

This JAWS shortcut is notoriously fickle. Try this, which works on my system. 
Follow Ed's steps exactly up to and including where you confirm that your 
choice of shortcut has been accepted. Then, instead of going to the okay button 
and pressing enter, press escape to get out of the dialog. Ed is correct, but 
I've found that taking that extra step to the Okay button often undoes the 
shortcut. I have no idea why this is, but I recall others reporting a similar 
experience.

A couple of points just to be sure. Note that Ed said just to type "j." 
Control and alt are assumed unless you type some other key. So adding the 
control and alt keys would risk sending the shortcut dialog into a tantrum.

Also, Ed suggested using insert-tab to confirm the shortcut has been entered. 
I'm sure he's right, but that isn't the key combination I use. In my case, it's 
JAWS key+8 on the numpad.

I automatically reboot after pressing escape.

Hi Fred,
I assumed you went to the Jaws 18 icon on the desktop and pressed the 
application key and went to properties.
Then you tab to short cut and press the letter J. Then do the insert + tab key 
to hear that the shortcut key is ctrl + alt+ J. Then tab to ok. Then I am not 
sure on this but you might have to reboot your pc for this change to take 
place. I guess you can try it first then if it does not work reboot your pc.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws 18 shortcut on desktop

2016-12-16 Thread Gene Warner

You might have to first go into the properties of the JAWS 117 icon and 
delete the existing shortcut key there, then add the shortcut key to the 
JAWS 18 icon.


I don't know if Windows is smart enough to remove it for you when you 
add it to the JAWS 18 icon.


Cheers!

Hi Fred,

Here's another approach.
1. Go to the Desktop with, Windows key + M.
2. Highlight the JAWS icon.
3. Press, Alt + Enter, to open the JAWS Properties.
4. Tab to the Shortcut key field, and type in the shortcut key combination
of your choice, like Alt-Control-J or whatever other combination you prefer.
5. Tab to Apply button, hit Space, then tab around again to the Okay button
and press Enter.
I have always had the best luck by 1st, Applying then Okaying in making

Fred,

This JAWS shortcut is notoriously fickle. Try this, which works on my
system. Follow Ed's steps exactly up to and including where you confirm that
your choice of shortcut has been accepted. Then, instead of going to the
okay button and pressing enter, press escape to get out of the dialog. Ed is
correct, but I've found that taking that extra step to the Okay button often
undoes the shortcut. I have no idea why this is, but I recall others
reporting a similar experience.

A couple of points just to be sure. Note that Ed said just to type "j."
Control and alt are assumed unless you type some other key. So adding the
control and alt keys would risk sending the shortcut dialog into a tantrum.

Also, Ed suggested using insert-tab to confirm the shortcut has been
entered. I'm sure he's right, but that isn't the key combination I use. In
my case, it's JAWS key+8 on the numpad.

I automatically reboot after pressing escape.

If I understand your question correctly, put your focus at the beginning of 
the sentence and press either of two key combinations. Alt-delete will give 
you the position in terms of inches. JAWS key+3 on the numpad will give you 
the position number in relation to the margin.

Another way is to press the key combo control-e. This is the toggle for 
centering and un-centering text. Press Listen to what JAWS reports. If the 
first press of this combo has JAWS verbalize "align left," you'll know the 
text wasn't left-aligned. You'll simultaneously fix the problem. But if JAWS 
says "centered," press the key combo again to left-align the text.

Hi Fred,
I assumed you went to the Jaws 18 icon on the desktop and pressed the
application key and went to properties.
Then you tab to short cut and press the letter J. Then do the insert + tab
key to hear that the shortcut key is ctrl + alt+ J. Then tab to ok. Then I
am not sure on this but you might have to reboot your pc for this change to
take place. I guess you can try it first then if it does not work reboot

This must be a problem unique to Windows 10 because I've never had a problem
setting a shortcut key for an application, including setting alt

Hi Adam,
If I understand what you are saying, what you want to do is use Absolute 
references in your formula.
For instance c1 *  G10 will become c1 * $g$1.  This means that it will 
always use g1 no matter where you copy the formula.  You can use the $ for 
only the row or only the column or both.

Hello.

Thank you to everyone who has shared information relating to my
question about copying columns in Excel.  I now have a different
question which I can't find an answer for online.

Is it possible to copy a formula so that its references are relative
to where it is placed?  A simple example would be if I had a formula
in C1 so I could add together A1 and B1 but then wanted to repeat this
for all rows to 20.  I don't really want to keep typing out the same
formula 20 times.

Many thanks,

Adam.

Adrian, thanks to you guys for the help and I will look into this again this
afternoon.  Over the years I have set up the control, Alt plus "j" keystroke
many times and I have run into this problem before and lived without it but
it is nice to have it when using narrator.  I am just starting to look at
narrator a little now.  Right now when I unload jaws 18 and want to reload
jaws I use the run dialogue.  Thanks again to all of you guys.

Fred,

This JAWS shortcut is notoriously fickle. Try this, which works on my
system. Follow Ed's steps exactly up to and including where you confirm that
your choice of shortcut has been accepted. Then, instead of going to the
okay button and pressing enter, press escape to get out of the dialog. Ed is
correct, but I've found that taking that extra step to the Okay button often
undoes the shortcut. I have no idea why this is, but I recall others
reporting a similar experience. 

A couple of points just to be sure. Note that Ed said just to type "j."
Control and alt are assumed unless you type some other key. So adding the
control and alt keys would risk sending the shortcut dialog into a tantrum.

Also, Ed suggested using insert-tab to confirm the shortcut has been
entered. I'm sure he's right, but that isn't the key combination I use. In
my case, it's JAWS key+8 on the numpad. 

I automatically reboot after pressing escape.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws 18 shortcut on desktop

2016-12-16 Thread Adrian Spratt

Escape doesn't function as cancel, not in this case. If it did, this method 
wouldn't work for me. It simply takes you out of the dialog.
Mike's direction get to the same place in a different way, except for adding 
the "apply" button. Usually, with other dialogs, I press spacebar on the apply 
button, but experience on two systems with this particular dialog has made it 
unnecessary. In fact, the fewer tabs and other keystrokes, the more likely I 
find the shortcut will stick. Still, if "apply" works, great.

Hi Fred!

Before going back to check if the short cut key setting held, I usually click 
Apply. Pressing Escape is the same as pressing Cancel.

Cheers!

2016-12-16 Thread Michael Hunt

Hi Fred,
To put short cuts on desktop do the following.
Hit windows key and go to apps.  Find Jaws and open it.  You will arrow down
one to jaws it's self, hit the application key.  You will down arrow to more
submenu then down arrow to open file location enter on it.  Then hit
applications key, go to send to.  Open that submenu up and down arrow to
send to desktop.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Another Excel question

2016-12-16 Thread Gene Warner


Hi Adam!

How exactly are you copying the cell with the formula?

If you put your cursor on C1, then press control + C to copy it, then 
move your cursor to C2, then press control + V to paste it, when you 
look at the formula, you'll see that the cell references have been 
changed to A2 and B2.


If you want to copy the cell to a range of contiguous cells, you can 
highlight all the cells you want to duplicate the formula into, then 
press control +V, the cell you copied will be replicated into all the 
highlighted cells with appropriate cell reference changes.


If you are creating a table where each line or column has the same 
formulas with appropriate cell reference adjustments you can skip 
copying and pasting with this alternate method.


Put your cursor on the cell you want to duplicate, then while holding 
down the shift key, select all the cells down or to the right that you 
want the formula copied to, then press control +D to copy down, or 
control + R to copy to the right. Using your example: put your cursor on 
C1, hold down the shift and arrow down to C10 or C20, then press control 
+ D. You'll now find that cells C1 to C10 or C20 all have your formula 
in it with cell references adjusted.

Cheers!

I don't want to write out the formula each time down the C column.

If I understand what you are saying, what you want to do is use Absolute

For instance c1 *  G10 will become c1 * $g$1.  This means that it will

only the row or only the column or both.

Hello.

Thank you to everyone who has shared information relating to my
question about copying columns in Excel.  I now have a different
question which I can't find an answer for online.

Is it possible to copy a formula so that its references are relative
to where it is placed?  A simple example would be if I had a formula
in C1 so I could add together A1 and B1 but then wanted to repeat this
for all rows to 20.  I don't really want to keep typing out the same
formula 20 times.

Many thanks,

Adam.


On 15/12/2016, Reed  wrote:

Hi Adam,

Another way to select your data is to use the Go To command.
Hit control-G.  In the edit box that appears, type the first cell and
last
cell you want to select with a : between.
For example, If you want to select from cell A3 to A99, you would type
A3:A99. If you want to select A3 to U3 you would type A3:U3.
So, in your case, I suspect you have column headings that go over more
than
1 column.  So, you have merged, for example A1 through C1.  If you only
want
to copy the data in column B, you could select B2:b99.  You could then
copy
to the clipboard and paste into your second spreadsheet.  Before you do
your
paste, you should select the area into which you want to paste the data.
The receiving area has to be the same size as the data you are pasting.
In
this case, you could select A2:A99 in your second sheet and do your
paste.

When you are googling, try to think of the most basic things you want to
do.
Here, you have to start by selecting your data to copy.  So, search for
example "excel 2016 selecting data".

 Hope this makes sense,

Reed

By default, Excel treats all cell references as relative, automatically 
adjusting them as you copy and paste cells with formulas in them. No 
need to do anything special at all. just copy the cell with the formula, 
then paste it where ever you want it.

Hi Adam,

An other way to select your data is to use the Go To command.
Hit control-G.  In the edit box that appears, type the first cell and last
cell you want to select with a : between.
For example, If you want to select from cell A3 to A99, you would type
A3:A99. If you want to select A3 to U3 you would type A3:U3.
So, in your case, I suspect you have column headings that go over more than
1 column.  So, you have merged, for example A1 through C1.  If you only
want
to copy the data in column B, you could select B2:b99.  You could then copy
to the clipboard and paste into your second spreadsheet.  Before you do
your
paste, you should select the area into which you want to paste the data.
The receiving area has to be the same size as the data you are pasting.  In
this case, you could select A2:A99 in your second sheet and do your paste.

When you are googling, try to think of the most basic things you want to
do.
Here, you have to start by selecting your data to copy.  So, search for
example "excel 2016 selecting data".

 Hope this makes sense,

Reed

pressing shift+down arrow until I have what I need and then doing the
usual copy and paste process.

Thanks again for all of your help.

Hi Adam!

The brute force method would be to make a copy of the entire sheet,
then
delete the columns you don't want.

A more elegant approach, would be to select each column you want to
copy,
then use copy and paste to copy it to the new sheet. Unfortunately I
don't
think there's a keyboard equivalent to clicking the column header
buttons
to
select the entire column, so you'll have to locate the end of each
column
and select all the cells from there to the beginning of the column,
then,
use copy and paste to copy the column to the new sheet.

I'd love to be proven wrong by someone who knows how to select
entire
columns or rows.

Before going back to check if the short cut key setting held, I usually 
click Apply. Pressing Escape is the same as pressing Cancel.

This JAWS shortcut is notoriously fickle. Try this, which works on my system. 
Follow Ed's steps exactly up to and including where you confirm that your

I've found that taking that extra step to the Okay button often undoes the 
shortcut. I have no idea why this is, but I recall others reporting a similar 
experience.

A couple of points just to be sure. Note that Ed said just to type "j." Control 
and alt are assumed unless you type some other key. So adding the control and alt keys 
would risk sending the shortcut dialog into a tantrum.

Also, Ed suggested using insert-tab to confirm the shortcut has been entered. 
I'm sure he's right, but that isn't the key combination I use. In my case, it's 
JAWS key+8 on the numpad.

I automatically reboot after pressing escape.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Another Excel question

2016-12-16 Thread George Martinez

Hi Adam,
If I understand what you are saying, what you want to do is use Absolute 
references in your formula.
For instance c1 *  G10 will become c1 * $g$1.  This means that it will always 
use g1 no matter where you copy the formula.  You can use the $ for only the 
row or only the column or both.

2016-12-16 Thread Mike B.

Hi Fred,

Here's another approach.
1. Go to the Desktop with, Windows key + M.
2. Highlight the JAWS icon.
3. Press, Alt + Enter, to open the JAWS Properties.
4. Tab to the Shortcut key field, and type in the shortcut key combination 
of your choice, like Alt-Control-J or whatever other combination you prefer.
5. Tab to Apply button, hit Space, then tab around again to the Okay button
and press Enter.
I have always had the best luck by 1st, Applying then Okaying in making 
shortcut keys stick.
Take care.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws friendly video editor

I have to chime in on this.


Sadly, the newest version of Moviemaker lacks the Video Capture feature, 
which allows one to use one's webcam etc. to capture video, and also to 
capture streaming video from other sources.  No more.



I too, am seeking a video editor which is completely usable without 
eyesight...as paradoxical as that sounds.  I do videos on youtube and am 
limited to one-take, no edit video production using a camcorder.

prior version of Windows such as 8.1: the link to it is

recall that Windows Movie Maker on older versions of Windows had been

Others might suggest another video editor but Movie Maker as I recall

Re: [JAWS-Users] Navigating a created Invoice in Excel

Dale: Thanks. If I am correct, there should be some keyboard commands for 
Excel using the JAWS key and the F1 key combination, correct?

Hi Jerry,
I would say the best way to learn the invoice is to sit down with your wife
and have her explain it to you.  You are able to get from cell to cell by
arrowing and groups of cells by adding a control to the arrow.

To All:

I have a home based business, and my wife created our own invoices in Excel
2013. Can anyone give me advice on how to navigate it? Thanks.

Jerry

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws 18 shortcut on desktop

2016-12-16 Thread Adrian Spratt

Fred,

This JAWS shortcut is notoriously fickle. Try this, which works on my system. 
Follow Ed's steps exactly up to and including where you confirm that your 
choice of shortcut has been accepted. Then, instead of going to the okay button 
and pressing enter, press escape to get out of the dialog. Ed is correct, but 
I've found that taking that extra step to the Okay button often undoes the 
shortcut. I have no idea why this is, but I recall others reporting a similar 
experience. 

A couple of points just to be sure. Note that Ed said just to type "j." Control 
and alt are assumed unless you type some other key. So adding the control and 
alt keys would risk sending the shortcut dialog into a tantrum.

Also, Ed suggested using insert-tab to confirm the shortcut has been entered. 
I'm sure he's right, but that isn't the key combination I use. In my case, it's 
JAWS key+8 on the numpad. 

I automatically reboot after pressing escape.

Mr Ed, I have done all that you mentioned several times but to no avail.  I 
might just have to call freedomscientific.  Thanks for the info and hope you 
are doing well.

Hi Fred,
I assumed you went to the Jaws 18 icon on the desktop and pressed the 
application key and went to properties.
Then you tab to short cut and press the letter J. Then do the insert + tab key 
to hear that the shortcut key is ctrl + alt+ J. Then tab to ok. Then I am not 
sure on this but you might have to reboot your pc for this change to take 
place. I guess you can try it first then if it does not work reboot your pc.

I am using W10, outlook 2010 and jaws 18 and I cannot get jaws to work using 
the control alt "J" keystroke.  I have changed to different letters and numbers 
but no luck.  I even went as far as to unstall and reinstall jaws 18.  I will 
appreciate any suggestions.  Thanks much,
