[JAWS-Users] Adobe Reader 11 update
Dear Friends, When I turned my computer on this morning, that pesky Adobe update thing came on. I know this has been covered before, but I forgot. JAWS can only read: Button Button I I first clicked on the I and then the Buttons went away. I do not know if the update installed or not. How can I handle this? The icon on my Desk Top still says Adobe X Thanks for your help.

Dear Friends, Looks like all that stuff I did back in the Woodstock Generation is catching up with me! LOL! No, I am not having a Senior Moment, not quite there yet!

[JAWS-Users] Here is the simple Day by Day calendar
Dear Friends, Here is the Day By Day Calendar It is totally JAWS friendly, and Freeware! I had to send it up to sendspace, as my ISP A T and T would not allow executable files as attachments. I even tried to zip it up and attach it, but still it would not go through. So I zipped it up and sent it to Sendspace. Below is the download link. After you download it, you must unzip it, then simply hit Enter on the exe file, it is self extracting. Very simple to use.

Dear David, Yes, it is a freeware program, I took it off Debbie Scales JFWLite web site about 7 or 8 years ago. The program is still there if some one wants to go to her site! JFWLite.com Her husband has left it up since 2006 in Memory of her. She was an incredible lady and I learned most of what I know about JAWS and Windows from her starting in 1999! She passed away September 4, 2006, after a minor accident while riding a tandem bicycle with her husband!

Hello, I also am using AVG, the paid version, which I purchased On Sale at Staples, cheaper than the price on the AVG web site.

Jaws doesn't seem to read the options as well as it did in the last version. When you tab through the options? After pasting in the URL of the youtube video you want to convert. There is a list. In which you can choose the format to which you want to convert the video into. I notice now, you can choose between: OG, Wave, MP4 and MP3.

[JAWS-Users] JAWS not speaking Copy or Paste
Hello Friends, I must assume many know that in JAWS 11, which I am using, and also in JAWS 12, which many friends use and have told me, JAWS very often will not say Copy when control plus the C key have been used to copy a selected item. And the same goes for Control plus V to paste the item you have just copied. Closing JAWS and then reopening JAWS resolves this issue all the time for me, but only for a limited amount of time, so I just got used to ignoring JAWS not speaking Copy and Paste. I know it always does, so then I do not need to hear JAWS tell me. Hope this helps some.

At first I had to down arrow and down arrow through the results until I found a result worth viewing. I then thought to myself there must be a much quicker way with navigating through the results seeing as pressing h doesn't work for obvious reasons. So, I perform the move to the next same element command and I was able to jump from result to result much faster. What I did was just typed in a random search term, like the undertaker, then I arrowed past the search button until I reach the first result and here I performed the previously mentioned command and I was able to fly through the results.

You didn't say, or I don't recall which version of Word you are using. There are I think four types of horizontal lines that you can draw across a page, these are known as horizontal rules. All of them are initiated by typing the appropriate symbol three times and then immediately pressing enter. A regular horizontal line is dash. A bold horizontal line is underscore (shift of the dash). A double-line is equals. A line of asterisks is with the asterisk key. Note: Depending on which version of Word you use, you may need to make sure the borders checkbox is checked in Word Options. In MsWord 2007, you will find the checkbox by going to Word Options, Proofing, Auto-Correct options, and Auto-correct as you Type. Take my advice, I don't use it anyway.

United States Braille Chess Association Home Page: http://AmericanBlindChess.org - Original Message - From: Brian Lee brianl...@charter.net To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Wednesday, June 22, 2011 9:05 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Drawing Lines Across Page Hi Alan, If you use the Adjust JAWS settings dialog by pressing JAWS key with V, you can then press B until you get to the choice under reading options for announcing borders. Use spacebar to turn it on and then press enter key. When you use up or down arrow key after turning on that option, JAWS will let you know that there is a border. However, if you try to find out if the border goes across the screen, JAWS does not give you that information. You can check the cursor position, and if it is at 1 inch, when you use right arrow key you will not find a position on the far right of the screen being given to you. In Word 2010, if you use Alt followed by B followed by Z, a horizontal line will be inserted into the document. You can then list inline objects by using CTRL+shift+O, press enter key on the object in the list, and the focus will go to it. Using the Alt+delete command will give you the one inch from the left position. Using right arrow key and then checking the position will give you a position of something like 7.5 inches from the left. Using one arrow key to move from the one inch position to the position on the far right will let you know that the line is straight across the screen. The use of three dashes followed by the enter key does put the line all the way across the screen but I don't think you can verify it with JAWS other than knowing there is a border. You can make several choices for single lines of different types by using the Borders and Shading dialog box. Using that box, you can change width of lines, and you can pick from several different types of lines. Checking only the bottom border for example, will give a line across the screen using the width for the line and the type you choose in that dialog box. I haven't used Word 2003 for some time but I think the Borders menu choice is in the format menu. In Word 2010, you can also choose many types of lines by going under the insert tab and choosing shapes. However, the only way I have found that will prove the line is all the way across the screen is by inserting the line as an inline object, and then using the cursor position check where the line should start, using right arrow and checking again. Take care.

You didn't say, or I don't recall which version of Word you are using. There are I think four types of horizontal lines that you can draw across a page, these are known as horizontal rules. All of them are initiated by typing the appropriate symbol three times and then immediately pressing enter. A regular horizontal line is dash. A bold horizontal line is underscore (shift of the dash). A double-line is equals. A line of asterisks is with the asterisk key. Note: Depending on which version of Word you use, you may need to make sure the borders checkbox is checked in Word Options. In MsWord 2007, you will find the checkbox by going to Word Options, Proofing, Auto-Correct options, and Auto-correct as you Type. Take my advice, I don't use it anyway.

The new Text Analyzer feature is a tool that notifies you of these errors in your document by using a spoken message or WAV file. You can configure JAWS to announce discrepancies by count, by description, or by sound while proofreading the document by line, sentence, paragraph, or Say All command. Braille users will benefit from this since a sound can be emitted before the user has time to read the entire line looking for errors. Text Analyzer is off by default. To turn it on, do one of the following: Use the new layered keystroke, INSERT+SPACEBAR, T. By pressing and releasing INSERT+SPACEBAR, and then pressing T, the Text Analyzer can be toggled on or off. Use the Adjust JAWS Options dialog box (INSERT+V) to select Text Analyzer, and then select the type of alert notification to use. Use Settings Center. Press INSERT+F2 and select Settings Center. In the Search edit box, type Text Analyzer, press DOWN ARROW to move to Text Analyzer in the filtered results, and press SPACEBAR to select an alert notification. If multiple issues are identified in the document, press ALT+WINDOWS Key+I to move to the next item, or ALT+SHIFT+WINDOWS Key+I to move to the previous item.

[JAWS-Users] Problem with word2003
Hello Friends, I never had a problem with JAWS 11 and Word 2003. All was perfect! But I remember hearing of this problem some time back, even perhaps a year ago, but do not remember the fix for it. Perhaps some one else remembers it?

Since the weekend, the PC cursor is reporting blank on every document even though when he switches to the jaws cursor he can see there is text there. The computer is working fine in all other areas except for word. We've tried maximising parent and child windows, resetting the zoom in view. Deleting and rebuilding the normal document template, and checking everything in the configuration manager's cursor options. We're now to the idea of reinstalling office, but before we did that, I wanted to see if anyone may have any other suggestions. Thanks for any suggestions.

[JAWS-Users] [JAWS used to be flawless, well almost!
Hello David and Friends, I still have my Gateway Windows 98 First Edition set up and loaded with JAWS 5.0 I ran JAWS 3.3, and indeed 3.7 was great, 4 was horrible, but 4.5 and version 5 was great also! Never had a problem with any of the JAWS versions except JAWS 4.0, So even way back then, HJ or Freedom Scientific made mistakes! Yes, the Windows 98 machine is still working like it did the day I took it out of the carton back in February 1999. I just fired it up today, because I am going to put Office 2007 on my Dell XP-Home, and if I get sick of trying to learn those stupid Ribbons, I can kick on my 98 machine and do some work with the Word 2000 that is on the machine!

[JAWS-Users] question: Number Row or Num Pad
Dear Friends, Please help clear up a debate I and some friends had concerning those folks, using JAWS, and who must be very fast on their Keyboards, and will need to use numbers a lot during a telephone conversation, i.e., Customer Services, Reservationists, Telephone Sales. Do those of you who fall into these categories for employment use the Number Row to input numbers while speed typing to keep up with a person on the telephone, Or Do you hit your Num Locks Key, and use you or number pad? I myself would feel worried about using my Num Pad, as I often use the Num Pad for JAWS or Windows commands, even routing PC to JAWS. And I might forget or might get tired of turning it on and off all the time! Although I must say, I input numbers much faster using the Num Pad! Thanks for any comments.

[JAWS-Users] My cheap way of writing checks
Dear Tom, Incredible, I did the same thing! Works just fine! The only inconvenience is that I must attach the check to a standard piece of paper, using Scotch Magic Tape #811, which does not really stick permenatly , to the upper left hand corner of the paper. Perhaps because I have an old HP 950 c Printer? But it does not mess up the paper, and works perfectly!

[JAWS-Users] Desperate for Yahoogroups tutorial
Hello Friends, I have succeeded in setting up a yahoogroups list for our United States Braille Chess Association, because our Topica list no longer responds to any commands, and we have not been able to contact their support department after several months. Yes, it is set up , pesky captures and such, but it was with a great amount of assistance from others, and I need to learn how to manage it myself, and also the people I have assigned as moderators need to learn all about the different functions. Yahoogroups is not what I would call a JAWS friendly program. And I would compare it to learning Microsoft Word or Excel! Word and Excel are easier in my opinion! At least they have command keys, and menu bars! Can anyone please help me find a Tutorial for learning how to manage a yahoogroups list? We would even be willing to pay for it. Can anyone also give me Kathy, oh I forgot her last name, the lady that does the Special Access training, and produces tutorials email address so I can find out if she can assist us? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

When you turn on the backup feature, Word saves backup files by appending or prepending some special text to your file name. In some versions of Word, the WBK filename extension is used instead of the familiar DOC. In other versions of Word, the DOC extension is used by Word adds the phrase Backup of to the beginning of the document name. Let's say that you have two directories, and in each one you have different documents but each has the same name, as in MyLetter.doc. If you have backups turned on, and Word allows you to specify where the backups are placed, then the names for the backups of the two different files would be the same (either MyLetter.wbk or Backup of MyLetter.doc), and two files with the same name cannot be saved in the same folder. The solution is for Word to simply keep the backup copy of a document in the same folder as the original copy. That way, you don't run into naming conflicts at all.

Re: [JAWS-Users] outlook express Imp
Hello Friends, I have not allowed my Automatic Updates to continue for a few months, since I read about the I. E. 7 situation, as I only have JAWS 9.0156 on my XP-Home machine! I am not worried so much about Security,as I am about downloading something in the Windows Updates that will mess up a perfectly working system, my thinking, is of course: If it ain't broke, don't fix it And as I said things are just working so perfectly, two (2) T-Drives, fantastic sound system, no problems with JAWS or anything! Can anyone tell me why I should allow the updates, and if so, what should I be weary of? I do not want to update to JAWS 10 nor 11 at this time, and JAWS 9 is working fine, but will any of the current updates mess up JAWS 9.0156? Thanks for any assistance you can provide me in the way of information!

Since I could not find any pattern or software that was causing the outlook express settings from being automagically changed, I suspect something is messed up in one of the system files. I did some internet searching and found a few year old post about similar problems and that there was a security update. Even though I have auto updates checked I went to look for updates to Microsoft software. There were quite a few that I installed. about 25 including some driver updates. Only time will tell if this corrected the problem. There is one thing that I installed that I will remove something about a windows search procedure. On the task bar it states indexing complete. The one big problem that I had with the driver updates was one was for my video. When the computer restarted it was checked to install the video intercept for Jaws. I could only read that line. It took my wife, sighted, to click on the install button. Not sure why I could not read anything else on the screen with either cursor.

With the launch of Windows 7 Release Candidate (RC) Tuesday, anyone can get their hands on a copy of the final public preview and, according to Microsoft, use it until Aug. 1, 2010, when the RC expires. But, most users won't want to use it for the entire 13 months Microsoft has allotted. For the RC, bi-hourly shutdowns will begin March 1, 2010, said spokesman Brandon LeBlanc in just one of several warnings Tuesday that Microsoft gave RC users of an earlier deadline. http://windowsteamblog.com/blogs/windows7/archive/2009/05/05/the-windows-7-release-candidate-rc-is-here.aspx *As it did with *Windows Vista's previews*, Microsoft will start *_pushing users to upgrade_* to the real thing by automatically shutting down, then restarting, PCs equipped with Windows 7 RC three months before the build officially expires. http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasicarticleId=9017728 You will be alerted to install a released version of Windows and your PC will shut down automatically every 2 hours [starting March 1, 2010], said LeBlanc. On June 1, 2010, if you are still on the Windows 7 RC, your license for the Windows 7 RC will expire and the non-genuine experience is triggered. At that point, LeBlanc continued, the copy will be marked as bogus, with on-screen nags and a black background. *Unless users are prepared to put up with the automatic reboots -- which come without warning and so may cause data loss -- they'll have to give up Windows 7 RC on the last day of February 2010, about 10 months after it went public.* Windows 7 Beta, which Microsoft launched last January, will start rebooting even earlier -- July 1, said LeBlanc -- a month before it expires. Earlier, Computerworld reported that users could run Windows 7 RC for 13 months, and compared that favorably to Vista RC's shorter free periods. Actually, with the Windows 7 RC shutdown looming three months before expiration, the new operating system's free run is similar to Vista RC's. http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasicarticleId=9132397 In 2007, Vista RC1 and RC2 started rebooting on June 1, nine-and-a-half and nine months, respectively, after they were released. Those previews actually expired Aug. 28, 2007, nearly three months after the reboots began. *Window 7 RC, at 10 months between release and auto-reboot, gives users _only several weeks, not several months, more free time than they got with Vista_*. I suggest making plans to move to a released version of Windows well before the automatic shutdowns start to occur to prevent data loss, LeBlanc urged. Microsoft posted Windows 7 RC to its site yesterday, and although there were reports of slow download speeds, the company's servers withstood the load, unlike in January, when they folded under the crush of users rushing to get the beta. http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasicarticleId=9132543 http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasicarticleId=9125586 Windows 7 RC will be available for downloading through at least the end of July, Microsoft has promised.

[JAWS-Users] I'm having a problem when using Capital letters whencreating the message rule!
Hello Friend, I use message rules quite often, and yes you are correct! when you use capital letters when where the to line contains people or the subject line contains specific words, that I've noticed that I have an apostrophe before the capital letter. I have always just ignored this, and the Rules work fine. I would suggest you just ignore it also. Just one of those things, one never understands about Windows! But if it is working, no reason to try to fix it, my Father always said!

Hi list members, has anyone noticed that when they create message rules that when you use capital letters when where the to line contains people or the subject line contains specific words, that i've noticed that i have an apostrophy before the capital letter. I'm not sure why this happens. P.S. I've also noticed that when words are connected as an example, BlindGeeks i've needed to make sure that in the dictionary, that i have to separate the words in order to make sure that i hear the words properly. If anyone has noticed this please let me know how to fix this problem. Thank you.

[JAWS-Users] Windows Media Player verses winamp535
Hello Folks, I did not mean to start a thread on Winamp verses Window Media Player, but since it is started I will tell you my experiences on why I did not install Winamp! A good friend, a person in the know, sent me winamp5541_full with instructions on how to install it. However, so many folks on one of the list groups I am on, which includes this gentleman who first responded to my message, I think it is Chris Hallsworth, kept writing messages to the list, a lot and lot of messages, stating this version was not very JAWS friendly, in fact it was full of problems for a JAWS user, and one should use an older version winamp535 or something like that. Well, they just scared me off, and I just decided to not install either, the new version, or the old version, but stick with Microsoft's product, the program they support and which came with my computer, Windows Media Player. That's it! End of Story, and I hope end of this thread. Thanks for all who contributed to sending me training texts and sites where I can learn more about this Windows Media Player program. David I think sent me one such tutorial, and I thank him, it looks very in-depth, but it is something like 55 pages, and I intend to study it, but in the meanwhile, I just thought some one could give me a simple 1 2 3 on how to create a playlist. Thanks to all.

[JAWS-Users] Getting rid of greater signs in a message
Hello Friends, You can always paste a messy message you might have received into a Word .doc file, then just hit Control H, which is Find and Replace use the greater sign to find, and leave the Replace blank. It will leave the message clean of those messy greater signs, and your recipients will appreciate it! I do it with about half the forwarded messages I in turn wish to forward. It only takes a couple of seconds!

[JAWS-Users] Hello Holger , Answering your Question on the Seagate manager
Hello Holger , I just purchased a Seagate Terabyte external Hard Drive, and it did also come with the Seagate Manager. I opened it once saw it was not JAWS Friendly and have ignored it for the two months I have had the hard drive now. I suggest you keep it however, it does not take up much space, and perhaps one of these Days some one will write scripts for it. And then we will see if it is helpful to us!

[JAWS-Users] Hello David, Seagate External Hard drives
Hello David, Well, No, I purchased the Seagate Terabyte External Hard Drive at Staples, which is like Office Max, or Office Depot. It was on SALE, cost $139, and the regular price in that store was $200. I just had DSL installed for my new Dell, running XP, and since I was downloading so fast, I started collecting stuff!! In fact, I collected as much in two (2) months as I had collected in 10 years with my Dial-out modem, and my old Gateway running Windows 98 (First Edition) (Smmile) ! Hey, I still have it set up next to my new Dell, it is still working, and since it has two (2) hard drives, I use it for stuff! I am going back this weekend to get another one, and hope it is still on Sale. Not because I believe I will fill up the Terabyte, but I want to back up everything I have on one to the other. What I am downloading is very precious to me, and do not want to even take a one in a million chance of losing it! Not that I do not trust Seagate, I have a 30 GB Seagate for almost 7 years it is in my old Gateway, and it is smooth as a whisper! I also purchased a Seagate external Hard Drive 30 MB for $900 back in 1985!! Yes, $900, not a typo! (Smile) It was still running when I dumped the IBM PC I used it with!! Darn, I should have kept that thing, it might be an antique now!! Oh yes, the applications that came with the Seagate Terabyte were just too graphical, I could not use JAWS with them. My wife was explaining the graphics to me, and it seem they were just simple directory type Applications. So, I just ignored them!
