To search through the messages in a folder, place focus at one of the folder's messages and press shift-control-f. this is a Microsoft command.

For me this is not a big deal as again, I have the same practice as Adrian. I usually have the current version, and the 2 previous versions installed on my machine. So I go in and first change the oldest version to Control+Alt+L, the version prior to the current version to Control+Alt+Control+Alt+k, and set the current version to Control+Alt+j.

Someone posted a while ago that creating a shortcut for a new version of JAWS makes the shortcut go away in the earlier one, but that was never my experience. Sometimes I'll assign a hotkey to each version of JAWS on my system, such as control-alt-j for the current version, control-alt-k for the preceding one, etc. But you can see the problem. The logical shortcut would be control-alt-I, since I precedes j in the alphabet, but I've already assigned control-alt-I to Internet Explorer. In any event, be sure to remove an the shortcut from an old version of JAWS before assigning that shortcut to the new version. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Mr. Ed Sent: Friday, August 04, 2017 8:01 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Re-starting Jaws 18 Hi Miriam, When you install a new version of Jaws you will have to put the hotkey back in again. So for example when Jaws 19 comes out you will have to put the hotkey back in again. Just remember that. Also if you go to the Jaws website and get a complete version of Jaws with an update and install it you will have to reinstall the hotkey for Jaws.

Hello group, I am out of town and have a student teaching in my place. He said that the JAW/V key is not working on one of the computers. He did a JAWS repair and still no luck. Has anyone had to trouble shoot this behavior in the past? I am not there to really mess with it, nor do I have the time until I get back. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Re: [JAWS-Users] URGENT! Authorization number?
Hi Andy, I can't say this will work everytime, but if it works for you then, that's all it takes. It has worked for me in the past. This will only work on an already activated copy of JAWS. Steps: 1. Press the JAWS key + the J key, for me it is Insert+J 2. Go to the help sub menu. 3. Go to the Update authorization option 4. You'll get a dialog with several buttons, click the Start Authorization button. 5. In this dialog, choose manual activation, then click next. 6. In this next dialog there is a read only field with your locking code, and two input fields, one has your entire authorization code, the other is for your license code or serial number. 7. Copy the authorization code, then cancel out of the dialog. hth Cheers! Gen Take care. Mike. Go Dodgers! Sent from my iBarstool. Arguing with a woman is like reading a software license agreement.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Inquiry
Yes ... after doing some exploring, I found out what I needed to know. Your information was a great help. Thanks for the tips and info. -Original Message- From: Adrian Spratt Sent: Tuesday, August 8, 2017 9:46 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Inquiry I think the best way to answer your query is to explain how the JAWS menu is laid out. But don't begin by pressing alt after you've pressed JAWS key+j. so: JAWS key+j opens the JAWS menu Right away, JAWS verbalizes "Options submenu." You can use your up and down arrow keys for other choices or press enter to open the options submenu. If you open the options submenu, you'll find other choices that you can locate by pressing the up and down arrow keys. For example, there's so-called "Basics" and two "voice" dialogs. Press enter on the one you want and proceed through the dialog by tabbing. If, instead of pressing enter on "options" you arrow up, you'll notice such choices as "About," "Help," "Utilities," and so on. Most of these choices are submenus. You press enter to locate the choices within the submenu. To my mind, a shortcoming in the JAWS menu is that once you click on something and then escape out of it, you simultaneously escape out of the JAWS menu system. If you're exploring the menu, it means being bounced out of it and pressing JAWS key+j several times. But the effort is worth it. I hope this is clear. -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of jyandt.mar...@comcast.net Sent: Tuesday, August 08, 2017 10:19 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Inquiry Adrian: Thanks to you and all of the others who have put their expertise out there for me.
