This is helpful. Can you explain what you mean by open up the tabs?
What are the key strokes for this?
Are there any key strokes other than control-tab?

I am also using Windows 7 with both JAWS 14 and JAWS 2018. I found the trick to 
getting access is to make sure your sign in page is maximized. Once you have 
done that, then sign in and just open up the tabs you need. I use it for credit 
card only, though, so other areas may be different.

I'm not sure that Win7 explains it. I did find that Chrome worked much better 
with the website than did either IE or Firefox. Also, some link descriptions 
are counterintuitive. Unfortunately, all I have at BofA are credit cards, so I

Re: [JAWS-Users] Downloading Audio Files with Chrome

2018-07-01 Thread Adrian Spratt
This is worth clearing up. The following three keystrokes are often 
interchangeable, but not always: the applications key (located between the 
right-hand Windows and control keys), shift-F10 and the right mouse click key 
(numpad star key). Like several other keystrokes, they all open menus specific 
to where you are in an application. For whatever reason, it's called the 
"context men" when you press the applications key. I don't recall coming across 
that term for shift-F10 or the right mouse click. 

Again, all three keystrokes typically open the same menu choices, but not 
always. If you think an option ought to be available with the applications key 
but it doesn't show up, it's worth trying the other  two.

Well, that's because it's called the Applications Key. Haha it, or shift-f10 if 
you want the extended versions, opens up the context menu, which is called that 
because it's contextual/dependent on what sort of item you are focused on.

Hi Holger,
I tried this on the Apple Vis , Sendspace and Hadley Institute for the Blind

When you find the link for the mp3 you want, do this:
1. Open the context menu, and press enter on, "save link as".
2. When the dialogue opens,tab to the file type combo box, and down arrow to

all files, then tab to the save button, and press the spacebar.
The file should download to your default location.
Note:
This seems to be a standard "Save As", dialogue box.

Re: [JAWS-Users] changing how a word is red

2018-06-26 Thread Adrian Spratt
John, are you familiar with the JAWS dictionary, which enables you to force how 
words are pronounced? Here, you'll be trying to change a default that VFO has 
built into JAWS, but I assume you can override it.
Place focus on the "co." (including the full stop/period). 
Press JAWS key-d to open the JAWS dictionary.
If you want your change to apply across all applications, press 
control-shift-d. Otherwise, be sure your focus is in the app concerned, 
presumably your email client.
Press spacebar to add an entry.
Check that the first edit field has the three characters, co. If it doesn't, 
add the full stop.
Tab to the replacement edit field. Here, I imagine you'd type co, without the 
full stop.
Press enter.
Press control-s to save.
Exit with alt-F4.

It's possible this method won't work, but it may give you an idea how to tinker 
away to correct the pronunciation.

Hi all, I have been sent a document I really need to read as soon as possible 
but it is a PDF and it appears I don't have a program on my laptop to read 
these. When I tried to open it straight from the email it opened in edge and I 
couldn't read anything. After I saved it to a folder in my documents and went 
to open it I got a list of programs I could use to open it but all I tried 
couldn't display the document. I tried opening it in notepad and got a lot of 
rubbish instead of what it was meant to be. So now I am wondering what the best 
program to use with Jaws 2018 and windows 10 is and where can I get it from?

 

I've been having trouble making the person on the other end understand what 
format I need because the first time she sent it to me it was a picture which 
of course Jaws couldn't read so I asked her to send it again in a word file. 
She then sent me a screen shot of the document so again I had to explain that 
jaws doesn't read pictures and asked again for a word version.
She is working on an iPad so she didn't have access to word so she finally sent 
me the PDF version. I'm afraid that this too will be a picture rather than an 
actual PDF but to find this out I need a program that will open it.

 

Thanks for any help.

Agreed. I now use IE11 as a backup, with Chrome as my default browser. Chrome's 
menu structure is horrible, even with the headings that Mike B alerted me to 
last month. However, it mostly operates the same way as IE11. Meanwhile, when I 
want to go to a favorite, I switch over to IE11. I also find it helpful that 
you can read difficult emails by sending them into IE11.

I thought I should add that I'm using Jaws 2018 with Windows 7 here.

 

Again, the issue is with Outlook 2016 in Office 365.

Tom, which method do you use to attach files? I copy the file I want attached 
into the message field, at which point it turns into an attachment. It works 
every time. The only difference in our systems is that I use Office 2016, not 
360.

Afternoon all.

I have two questions regarding Windows Live Mail. First of all, I have 
attempted to find out which version of WLM I have, without success. Could 
anyone enlighten me on how to do this?

Second, again using WLM, I am having a frustrating issue. Whenever I am in my 
inbox, I will open a message, but JAWS will not read the message; with the 
exception of sometimes using the jaws cursor. Any ideas or suggestions? I am 
using JAWS 2018 and Windows 10 OS on a Dell laptop. Many thanks in advance.

Hi, thanks for this option. I have only had this version of jaws installed for 
a day so can't say if I have it happening at other times. I must admit I don't 
tend to switch off my laptop that often because I have trouble sleeping at 
night so I leave it on so I can play with it when I can't get to sleep. I did 
the reset that was required for the jaws update but haven't switched it off or 
reset it since. I will probably turn it off tomorrow because I will be out for 
a few hours and will see if it fixes itself after that.

While writing this message I decided to highlight a word and check your 
suggestion. Well it doesn't work here, instead it says "this is not available 
outside a table". However I was able to get Jaws to say which word was 
highlighted by pressing jaws key + shift + down arrow. But if it wasn't for 
your suggestion I would have never thought of using such a key combination.

Thanks.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Spell Check in MS Word 2016

2018-06-05 Thread Adrian Spratt
Annette,

As in previous versions, JAWS key+c still reads the spell-checked word in 
context when you're in Word 2016. However, when in an Outlook 2016 email, it 
doesn't. In that case, the "say line" command works. 

I'm having no problem getting spell-check to accept "c" on my system, and I'm 
not experiencing any delays involving JAWS and spell-checker. I have Windows 7, 
latest release of JAWS 2018 and, again, Office 2016.

Spell check in Word is a bit tempormental.  As already stated, you cannot use 
the Alt key combination to change, ignore, etc, but it still works in Outlook.  
I find that when in Word just pressing the letter C for Change, etc. does not 
work.  I then resort to Tabbing to the button I want and pressing Enter.  
Sometimes this does not work as there is a significant delay in getting a 
response to executing a command.  I resort to pressing Escape and start over.  

Does anyone have an idea on how to get the spell check to read the word in 
context?  I resort to exiting out of spell check, and navigating around the 
document or message until I find something that seems to be the word in 
question.

Wayne,

You seem to be asking at least two questions. First, spell-checker does work in 
Word 2016, but it operates a little differently. For example, to accept a 
changed spelling, I press the letter "c" alone instead of alt-c. MS Word
2016 calls the alt key in this context an "accelerator."

Second, you can stop Word from making corrections as you type. Press alt-f, 
then t, then arrow down to "proofing." From here, you tab through the options. 
I suggest tabbing through all of them to find out what they are before you 
start making changes. 

Note: Although Word on my system requires that I not use the alt key when using 
the spell-checker, spell-checker works as before when I'm in Outlook 2016. I 
have Outlook set to use Word when I write messages, so it's possible there are 
settings in Word that I haven't explored. But except for the alt key and some 
other variations, I find Word 2016's spell-checker works just fine.

Here are 2 ways of doing this:

Hi, George. Your question is valid but slightly different from the original one

The fastest way I know to get to the top of the folders list is to press 
control-e while outside the messages. Tab twice to find yourself in a list of 
folders. Press home to get to the top folder. 

You'd want to be doing something there, such as creating a new folder.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Find Function in MS Word 13

2018-05-29 Thread Adrian Spratt
Hi, Jerry.

Dave and Rebecca have posted the JAWS alternative that works fine in most 
instances. However, the MS find function can  be helpful in other ways, so I'd 
like to try to suggest what may be going wrong for you. 

With JAWS find (JAWS key+control+f), you can only search for whole words. So if 
you remembered the word you wanted was a verb such as "talk," but not whether 
it was talked, talking, etc., you'd have to search over and over until you 
landed on the place you were searching for. MS find isn't limited to words; you 
can also search for partial words, etc.

Another nice feature of the MS search function is that it will tell you how 
many instances of your search string appear in the document, and also which one 
you're focused on. JAWS find does none of that.

Finally, with MS find you can search for paragraph breaks, tabs and other 
useful targets. Again, you can't do any of this with JAWS find.

In my experience, the first time I open an MS find, nothing happens. I press 
control-f, type in my search string, then press enter. Nothing. However, I then 
press control-f again and JAWS verbalizes the search string I just typed. Now I 
press enter, and I'm taken to the first instance of that string. 

Here, take care to listen on pressing that enter key. You will be given the 
context, such as the entire line where the result appears. You'll also be told 
to click on "Next" for the next instance. If you've arrived where you want to 
be, press escape to exit the find function. If you're looking for a different 
instance, press the spacebar.

If you move on to the next instance, you're now told the number of examples of 
this string in the document and which of those instances you're focused on, as 
well as the current context. 

The MS find function isn't completely consistent. For example, sometimes it 
commences a search the first time I do the find command, sometimes not. It  
took me some getting used to, and like Rebecca and Dave, I most often use JAWS 
find. but learning how to work with MS find was well worth the trouble.

Morning all.

I have a curious problem regarding MS Word 2013. For some strange reason, I 
cannot seem to get the Control F (find) function to work. I can go through the 
ribbons and get to the function that way, but it will not work either. Has 
anyone ever come across this problem as well, and if so, what was the remedy? 
Using JAWS 2018 and Windows 10 on a Dell laptop. Thanks in advance.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Some PDFs do not read properly

2018-05-29 Thread Adrian Spratt
John, 

This may not assist you directly, but lately when I've encountered this 
problem, I've found that the JAWS convenient OCR feature reproduces the text 
with the spaces between words intact. I don't recall if JAWS convenient OCR was 
included with JAWS 16. If it was, you might try it and compare results. 
Keystrokes: JAWS key+spacebar, then separately o for OCR , then d for document. 
The process can be slow. The results will be displayed in a separate window.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Some PDFs do not read properly

Hi all,


For a while now, I have noticed that some PDFs are not read properly by Jaws or 
NVDA. What happens is that multiple words are read as one long word, with no 
spaces between the words. This is not on all PDFs, just some. I have never 
encountered this problem with PDFs that I have created using either MS Word or 
PDF995. On the PDFs that have a problem, I have extracted them to text files 
and the problem will also show up in the text file. Someone had once suggested 
that the problem is related to the original font being used, but that does not 
make any sense. So, Can anyone shed a little light on this problem?


Here is a link to a PDF with the problem I have described (from last weeks Top 
Tech Tidbits newsletter):

http://bit.ly/2GKOuSC



I am using Windows 7, Jaws 16/NVDA 2018.1 and Acrobat Reader DC 
2018.011.20040.


Thanks,

John

Re: [JAWS-Users] Safe To Remove Hardware Message

2018-05-26 Thread Adrian Spratt
Rebecca, if I understand one of your points correctly, you can replay JAWS 
verbalizations by pressing JAWS key+spacebar, then separately h. Wait a few 
moments, then arrow down through the text. Press escape to get out of the 
window.
As for those JAWS icons in the system tray, yes, one appears each time you 
unload and reload JAWS.  However, only one will bring up the JAWS window. Click 
on the others and the icon disappears. Which one is the active one? I'm not

Hello Mike.
I'm running Windows 10, 1803, with JAWS 2018, May update.
I recently noticed that when I go to the system tray to remove a drive, I no 
longer receive the message that it's safe to remove the drive.
Another friend called me yesterday with the same issue.  I just assume that 
it's safe.  If I go back to the system tray before removing the drive, the 
option to remove it shows as unavailable, as it should.
I don't know how to capture or replay those fleeting messages with JAWS.  If I 
virtualize the window, JAWS says there's no text.  I haven't had a sighted 
person look at the screen.
I can use the context menu on the drive, but again, I get no spoken message.
On another matter, has anyone else seen multiple copies of JAWS shown in the 
system tray after JAWS was shut down and restarted?  Shouldn't JAWS be removed 
if it's shut down.  This happens with both insert-f4 and insert-windows-f4. 
Sometimes my save as menu won't work in Word.  If I shut JAWS down and bring it 
back, the menu reads as it should. 
I much prefer running JAWS from the system tray, so that it won't be in the 
alt-tab line up.
Sorry I don't have an answer for you, and maybe a lot of us, about disappeared 
messages.  Smile.

Re: [JAWS-Users] How can I find out what # a certain e-mail is in my list

2018-05-26 Thread Adrian Spratt
Al, I'm confident there isn't such a keystroke, which would be very useful. 
With Outlook, including 2010, you're not even told what number email you're at 
as you go down the list, a feature Outlook Express had, or has. That's my only 
regret about giving up OE.

However, your mention of a word search makes me wonder which type of search 
you're doing. If you just type a word into the initial search field, you're 
searching only subject lines. The way I search for all words, whether in the 
subject line or the message field, is the following: 

Control-shift-f to commence the search.
Tab once
Down arrow once
Shift-tab once.
Now type your search term, then press enter.

In my Outlook inbox I have about 650 e-mails that have already been read.
Sometimes I need to go back to a certain e-mail for references and it takes too

because sometimes I would like to go to that particular e-mail and I do not 
want to go down that entire list to find out the one that I am looking for.  
Sometimes when I do a search for a particular word in the e-mail that I am 
looking for, it does not appear, but I do know that it is on my list.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Safe To Remove Hardware Message

2018-05-26 Thread Adrian Spratt
Mike, just a thought. Before going to the system tray, do you close the window 
displaying that drive's contents? Then does the confirmation show up in the 
system tray?

A related point: My tech consultant says that removing an item, such as an SD 
card, can be done safely so long as the window is closed. He'd say, then, that 
even if you aren't getting that reassuring confirmation, you'll be okay. Even 
so, I admit I take the extra precaution of getting system tray confirmation.

Josh,

I think I was mistaken about the quick settings menu item. There, spelling 
options only enable you to select how spelling is reported, not whether to 
report it at all. 

Instead, the answer is in the Chrome menu. I don't really understand how it 
works, but I can get you to the option:

Alt-f for file menu, then s for settings
Tab like a madman until you land on "Advanced."
Resume tabbing like a madman until you arrive at spelling options.

Re: [JAWS-Users] jaws saying misspelled in browsers

2018-05-22 Thread Adrian Spratt
Cher, here's how to do it in Firefox:

1. Press alt-t for tools, then o for options.
2. Tab many times to the "Language" section.
3. Keep tabbing until you get the option to  select "Check my spelling as I 
type."

Ok, I didn't try the first site, but the AmyMyersMd.com site, I did.

Initially, I could not get it to add items to the cart with either IE11 on 
Google Chrome version 66 on my PC.

But, I did discover a workaround with Chrome (I didn't try it with IE11):

When you search for an item and bring up the descripption, there is a combobox 
to select the quantity.
I think the default is one, just make sure it is some whole number and not zero.

Now, the workaround:
I used the Jaws OCR feature to read the Window.  As I read down through the 
text (I have it set to the default where the things it recognizes are at a 
slightly lower pitch); when I got to the AddToCart button, I left-clicked it 
with the slash key on the numpad.

It added the item to the cart and gave me a checkout button.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Superscript in Word 2016

You've solved the problem for your needs, Rebecca, but I note that the "classic

I suppose it's one of those things where some like one option rather than 
another.  The Windows-alt-I alerts me at each instance of super- and subscript. 
 But it's almost as easy to change schemes:
Insert-alt-s
And press p for proofreading attributes and font info.
Then I can arrow through the document, up, down, left, right, or use say all, 
and the different scrips will be demonstrated by a change in pitch.
If I only had one instance of a change, I would go for the Windows-alt-I, but 
if I wanted to read and review a document, it's good the other option is there. 
If I remember correctly from playing with it yesterday, there are other schemes 
that alert for superscript, but p for proofreading is easy to remember.

Hi, Fernando. Your instructions are absolutely correct. The only difference is 
that the English version gives "1st" as the ordinal example. I had it checked 
already, and it seems to be working for me. 

My confusion arose because I couldn't get JAWS to confirm that superscript 
letters were, in fact, superscript. As Rebecca posted, the problem arises from 
VFO's decision to remove superscript and subscript from the classic speech and 
sounds scheme. Strangely, although I've restored them to my default speech and 
sounds scheme, JAWS is still not verbalizing either format when I move 
character by character. I have to press JAWS key-f, which works for me but not 
for Rebecca. Her solution is Windows key-alt-I, which at least takes you up to 
the point where the format changes. So does Text Analyzer, but on my system, TA 
just verbalizes a change in format without specifying what that format is. 

Astounding that JAWS users have to put so much thought and work into a detail 
like this.

Hi Adrian,

You were told nice alternatives to make JAWS report superscript and subscript, 
so it makes no sense I repeat many things others already said.
Regarding Word automatically not changing ordinals, this is controlled by the 
AutoFormat As You Type auto-correct options. These options are per-program 
basis, so it is normal it is enabled in Outlook and disabled in Word.
To enable this in Word, go to the File tab, Word Options.
In the Categories list box, choose Proofing and tab to the Auto-Correct Options.
In the dialog opened by this button, press CTRL+TAB until you reach the 
AutoFormat As You Type page. Then tab to a checkbox like Ordinals (1th) with 
Superscript and press SPACE BAR to check this. I can't give you the exact name 
of this checkbox, since many options of this tab have language-specific names. 
In the case of ordinals, in Spanish there are both two specific symbols and, in 
practice, many people incorrectly use suffixes like “do”, “ra”, etc.

Hope it helps!

Hi. In previous versions of Word, superscript would be verbalized when I moved

automatically make the "th" superscript. Neither is happening with Word 2016 
and the current release of JAWS 2018. Even more disconcerting, a sighted 
assistant tells me that sometimes the "th" or "nd" is superscript, sometimes 
not, probably because I'm working in a document created in an earlier version

Can anyone suggest how:

  1.  To get Word to make "th" and "nd" in numbers like 14th and 2nd 
automatically appear as superscript?
  2.  To get JAWS to report superscript, and also subscript, in Word documents? 
I looked at the intermediate settings  for anything that might help, but 
nothing leapt out.

Note: Superscript is handled fine in Outlook 2016, which I have tethered to 
Word 2016.

Re: [JAWS-Users] unable to add to cart

2018-05-20 Thread Adrian Spratt
Dave and list,

Dave has listed the methods I would try when frustrated by a "confirm" or 
"purchase" button. In IE11, I find that if I can't locate the button with the 
JAWS cursor, chances are nothing is going to work. 
However, websites that don't work with IE11 are increasingly working for me 
with Chrome. 
Dean Martineau's newsletter this past week links to a lecture on browser 
accessibility. Referring to HTML5 content, the speaker said that IE11 picks up 
only 50% of controls. Chrome and Firefox were somewhere in-between, and Edge is 
at 100%. These percentages don't reflect my browser experience. For example, 
she gave a higher percentage to Firefox than Chrome, but my experience with 
Firefox 60 is so bad that I've given up on it. I imagine the reason for the 
difference between the speaker's numbers and my experience is that HTML5 is 
only one coding system that websites use. All the same, the percentages suggest 
that IE11 is falling further and further behind. 
I hate to promote Chrome because its file menu system is so cumbersome and 
often not intuitive. But in terms of speed and greater access to Web content, 
it seems to be the best at this moment, May 20, 2018.

Gerald,

The presence of variable will depend on what you are ordering. I selected a
DIY frame, and a combo list was presented with a style type to pick. But
regardless, I was not able to work the buttons after that.

But I did see a thread on the JFW list with a similar issue in selecting
something on the screen. Here is that solution:

To select the tick box with JAWS, simply press the bypass key, JAWS key+3
then space bar.  This will tick it.

Give that  a try and let us know.

quantity edit field which is set to 1 by default and the add to shopping

than 1 and click on the button to add it to your cart.  But no keystroke

I'm speculating that in the case where you cannot press the "Add to Cart
Button" there is some other element (checkbox, combo box, editable combo
box, edit field) that needs to be used/selected before the button will
activate. For a simple example, if the quantity edit field is blank, then a
number needs first to be entered. In other cases, I've seen where a size or
a color choice must first be selected before the button can be activated.
There are so many variables in a simple shopping app that is dependent on
the item itself, that it's hard to pin down a specific problem related to
JAWS.

I figured out the answer. Because I have a hard time computing numbers when 
spoken by JAWS, I'd changed the filename to include the month and year. I 
didn't change the file extension, but I'd been led to believe that changing a

I re-downloaded the file from the VFO website and went through the same

Subject: [JAWS-Users] JAWS repair

Hi. Last year VFO gave me a new set of instructions for doing a JAWS repair. 
They worked well, and I posted a version to the list. today they aren't 
working. When I put the terms into the run dialog and press enter, I get the MS 
message that Windows doesn't know which program to use. Can anyone suggest what 
I'm doing wrong? Here are the instructions:


First, make sure you have the .exe file on your system for the JAWS build 
you're running. You can download it from the FS/VFO website.

Unlike before, it doesn't seem to matter where you keep it on your system.

Close all running apps.

Highlight the JAWS .exe file.

Press shift-F10.

Arrow up to "Copy as path." Press enter.

Open the run dialog with Windows key-r.

Press control-v, then spacebar, then / (the forward slash key), then the word 
"type", spacebar, and then the word "repair."

Let me try that command line a different way. After pressing control-v followed 
by the spacebar, continue with /type repair

Then press enter.

Hi Adrian,

Here's where the default browser option is located to activate.
1. Open Chrome, press, Alt + F, to open the list of menues, then press the 
letter, S, to open, Settings, or navigate down to, Settings, and press enter.
2. With Settings open, navigate by heading using the letter, H, to the, Default

3. Downarrow to, Make default button, and press the spacebar.
You're done.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Firefox 60

2018-05-16 Thread Adrian Spratt
I'd be curious which of these extensions helped you. A number claim to help 
Internet navigation, but I don't find an explanation of how they work. Most are 
directed at Web developers, while the user ones are dominated by extensions for 
partially sighted people. 
For anyone interested in the Chrome Store, I got there by opening the menu with 
alt, then typing "accessibility" into the resulting edit field. Arrow down to 
the chrome Store when the next page comes up. As I recall, it isn't labeled as 
a button or link, but clicking on the title opens the store. 
This is one of many reservations I have about Chrome: that many controls are 
not labeled as such.

Aaron,

Thanks for posting your detailed rant. I, too, am enormously frustrated that 
browsing has become so time--consuming and sometimes unreliable. I'm constantly 
switching among three browsers and two versions of JAWS because different 
combinations work best with different websites, and even then some websites 
remain hard, if not impossible, to navigate. The other day, a certain website 
owner had taken steps to make everything accessible, only for me to install 
Firefox 60 and generate a host of new issues. No wonder some website designers 
get frustrated with accessibility obligations.

Developments on the Web seem to be moving faster than screenreader companies 
can keep up with. But I wonder why non-screenreader users aren't also 
encountering limitations with different browsers, since each seems to function 
differently.

if this is the case, most likely you already have the jaws17 installed.
what you need to do is to create a shortcut to start the version 17.
give this a try;

1, unload the current version of jaws your running.
2, type: windows-key+r=run,
3, type: jaws17 press enter.
this should load jaws 17.
if this is true, now you can create shortcut for this version, example,

Adrian,

I have  tried running  the repair quite a number of times with the same result.

Even tech support can't work it out.

Very strange.

Sometimes running a repair a second and even a third time overcomes problems 
like this. VFO tech support people will tell you so. But if that fails, it's 
probably best to get in touch with them.

Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Firefox 60

I still had a 52.X ESR installer on my system. SO I just uninstalled V60, ran 
the 52.X installer and updated to the most current one capable with the older 
version and am now am on Firefox Version 52.8.0. The same one I was on before 
trying the Quantum or whatever it's called.
The other issue I was having with Firefox 60 and Jaws on The Old Reader: 
This is what I sent VFO:
I am noticing with the latest Firefox 60 (ESR and standard version) when 
browsing down my list of RSS posts. Be it in a particular feed's entries, a 
folder created by me or even in the all posts view, when I click enter or press 
the spacebar to expand that particular entry to show the summary (this is in 
list view. Not full view) and then later wish to do the same for another RSS 
entry, Jaws doesn't appear to be able to accomplish this second task.
I've tried using the Jaws cursor, maximizing the window and then pressing enter 
or spacebar, tabbing to be sure Jaws focus isn't somewhere else, but nothing 
seems to work. It's basically pick one RSS entry and that's it. The only thing 
I can do to be able to select another RSS entry to view is do an entire page 
refresh. Which isn't a solution as once the refresh occurs, all previously 
unread posts are marked as read.
In my case, The Older Reader is marked as my home page and I refer to it all 
the time. So this one bug is proving to be quite disruptive. I don't know if it 
has something to do with a virtual buffer focus or some other element, but I am 
not able to figure it out on my end. To be clear, this particular behavior is 
not present in prior versions of Firefox. I have been using the V 52.x ESR 
version before upgrading to v60 without this issue present.
So anyway, in the same email response I pasted below, I got this note from the 
same tech:
Also, I did see your other e-mail in which you mentioned a specific Web site.  
I did look at that Web site, but I found that it requires signing up for an 
account to see the issues.  If you could provide us with a site with these 
issues that does not require signing up for an account, that would be very 
helpful.

Ok... but as I specifically mentioned this website, it kind of defeats the 
purpose...
Again, probably one of those things I'd have to call in to better demonstrate 
the exact problem, but I'm busy throughout the day and always on the phone, 
doubt I'd be able to do it any time soon.
This is why I figured in part to just go back to V 52 and maybe wait for 
another Jaws or Firefox release with hopefully some more improvements. I've 
waited a few months, what's a couple of more weeks...
As long as you don't mess with your profile on your system, then uninstalling 
and reinstalling any version of Firefox shouldn't be a big deal. That said, 
standard caveats of backing up and all that apply. Also, I do have a Firefox 
account for easier browser syncing between multiple PCs and my iPhone so 
there's that too.

Hi All,

Asking for a friend:
From: Marie
I have a rather strange problem with Word 2016 but I had the same problem with 
2010.  I'm running Win 10 1803 with J2018 latest, but get the same result using 
NVDA as well.  When I am in a document and am arrowing down it will skip pages. 
It will go from page one to page three, then page five, etc. It does not do 
this when doing a say all or if I am arrowing right or reading word by word 
with the insert + right arrow. This only happens on my desktop and not the 
laptop so I am pretty sure it is some odd setting that I have accidently made. 
But I have gone over and over the options and can not figure out what setting 
is causing this.
Before installing 2016, I uninstalled 2010 thinking the problem would not 
persist but I was wrong. Does anyone have an idea what setting is causing this 
& how I can fix it?  Thank you all very much.
Marie

Regarding the alerts, I was able to disable those with an about:config tweek a

I'm experiencing several problems with Firefox 60. Here's a copy of the email I 
just sent VFO explaining what they are. I did mention in the message that I 
recently upgraded from Firefox 52ESR to 60.


  1.  When I try to log in to a website, Firefox's message offering to save the 
log-in information is spoken, and then spoken several more times. I caught that 
to decline, I should press alt-d. when I did so, Firefox hung up and eventually 
gave me the options to wait or close. After what was already a long wait, I 
closed it.

I've encountered this message several times since. Pressing alt-d led to the 
same result, as did my try with alt-n (which often brings up other options).
The only way to get past this message is to wait for it to go away.


  1.  On the donations page of the website www.wnyc.org<http://www.wnyc.org>, 
the combo boxes for state and country don't give any information, e.g., state 
abbreviations. These combo boxes do work with IE11. A similar problem came up 
on another website with Firefox 60, but I can't be sure I've diagnosed the 
problem yet.


  1.  Placemarkers are behaving erratically. None carried over from Firefox 
52ESR, so I've had to start over again putting them in place. One repeating 
problem is that even though I uncheck the box that would apply the placemarker 
throughout a website, the placemarkers all apply on every page.
This means I've accumulated twelve placemarkers on every page of one website I 
regularly visit, even though I want at most three per page.


  1.  I'm also finding that some placemarkers just don't work when I press the 
k key. Even though the placemarker list shows one for that location, k doesn't 
locate it.

I'm working with JAWS 2018.1804.26.400,, and my OS is Windows 7.

Re: [JAWS-Users] MS Word Inquiry

2018-05-07 Thread Adrian Spratt
Jerry, on your centered heading question, one way would be to press JAWS key+z 
to bring up "quick keys." Press h for "heading" to reach each heading in the 
document, then  press the JAWS key+z toggle to get out of quick keys."
One way to determine if a heading is centered is to press alt+delete at the 
beginning of the line to see if it is farther in than your margin. 
A less safe way is to press control+e and note what JAWS reports. Control+e 
toggles between center text and left-align. The risk here is that you might 
affect the format of more parts of the document, such as the text immediately 
following. But if JAWS reports that text is now left-aligned, it means it was 
centered, so press control+e again to re-center it. 
It's possible MS word's control+f find command is able to locate centered text, 
but I find that part of the find command way too complicated to work with.

Hi. I'm still having the vexing and annoying issue of the latest issue of JAWS 
periodically changing how it reads Outlook messages (windows-7, Outlook 2010). 
JAWS will be doing a great job of reading a message, then, for no apparent 
reason, when I bring up the next message, read all kinds of info:
"Table 1, row 1, nesting level 3." etc. I have to close Outlook and, sometimes, 
JAWS and bring them back for JAWS and Outlook to function normally again.

I'm doing nothing to cause this to happen except bringing up the next e-mail 
message.

This does not happen with every message, but it is repeatable, in that if I 
read e-mail long enough it will, inevitably, happen.

Frankly, this is unacceptable. It would be helpful if the VFO folks who monitor 
this list could at least acknowledge the problem. I'm happy to spend time on 
the phone with VFO tech support so they can see the problem. I know I'm not the 
only one who is experiencing this issue.

Thanks.

John, a frustrated JAWS user.

PS For whatever reason, this does not happen at work with JAWS Professional and 
Outlook 2013.

Thanks.

Re: [JAWS-Users] What Happened to CCleaner Slim Version?

Yes. Okay, I checked my programs to make sure Avast hadn't been installed. If 
it installs with a modified name, such as Firefox showing up as Mozilla 
Firefox, let me know and I'll double-check. But like Orlando, I also had no 
problem of this kind installing the previous version. It does seem that the 
people at CCleaner got the message.

Hi Gerald.
The CCleaner download page is somewhat counterintuitive. However, once you 
activate one of the many download links, the standard installer will get 
downloaded to your default downloads directory.
Although CCleaner used to install Avast by default, there is good news. 
First, using the Jaws cursor in the installer, you can uncheck the relevant 
box. But better still, the last three versions of CCleaner standard did not 
automatically install any third party software. The check box for Avast is now 
absent.

Re: [JAWS-Users] single or double space inquiry on MS 2016 with JAWS 2018 using Lenovo laptop

2018-04-30 Thread Adrian Spratt
The simplest method is this:
Select the text you want single-spaced, then press control-1, meaning the 1 
above the letters. If you want the selected text to be double-spaced, press 
control-2.

There's another method, but it's more complicated to explain.

The way you describe how autocomplete is working for you in Outlook 2016 is 
also my experience. I often need to press enter on the selection, tab away from 
the "To" field, then shift-tab back to the "To" line to confirm the correct 
address has been accepted. There are alternative methods, but no need to go 
into them. Yes, this is different from my experience with Outlook 2010.

Well, the level 2 guy emptied auto complete because it wasn't working properly. 
It was providing addresses that had nothing to do with the first few letters. 
He told me that in order to rebuild it, I should write in the first few letters 
and then press control K which would bring up a list of relevant addresses. I 
should arrow down to the correct address and press enter. That address would 
then be filled in and would be part of my reconstruction of auto complete. So I 
was trying to send an email to the blind democracy list. I found the correct 
address. However, even though I followed his directions, auto complete filled 
in a different address which belonged to someone who used "blind" and his first 
name and whose address was in the list. Finally, I went to a word document 
where I'd stored the blind democracy address and copied and pasted it into the 
to field. The next time I tried to use auto complete for the blind democracy 
list, the correct address was filled in, but Jaws didn't read it until I 
pressed enter. The Jaws users name was filled in but again, Jaws didn't read it 
the way it normally does. I think I had to press enter or manually read the 
line. So it seems to me that Jaws isn't working properly with auto complete or 
auto complete isn't working properly or something.

Hi.

If you are having problems with auto-complete for entering recipient in the 
"to" field in Outlook, here's something that might work. At least, it works in 
Outlook 2010, and I believe I once tested this on 2016 at work, too.
Enter in the first few letters of the recipient. For example, for this list, I 
might type in "jaws". Write your message and use your send command. If there's 
more than one address that matches the criteria of what you entered, a list of 
matches will pop up before you send the message, and you can select the one 
that applies.

Not sure if this will really help you, but I notice that people often seem to 
have issues with JAWS and auto-complete, in that they don't know when an 
address has been filled out.

reading some of them. I then sent a second article to the blind democracy list 
and this time, the auto complete  worked beautifully.
The first time, I had to copy the blind democracy address from a document where 
I've stored it because the auto complete wouldn't work. I was sure that if I 
moved from the to Miriam folder to the inbox while jaws is running, Outlook 
would crash. However, here I am, responding to your email which, with all the 
other emails from lists, is in the inbox. Outlook didn't crash. Jaws is fine. 

I'm sure the problem isn't solved. That article that I sent to the blind 
democracy list got there, but another copy was sitting around and refusing to 
leave or explain why it was there. Eventually some buttons appeared and I tried 
pressing them and one of them made the extra copy disappear. I'll stop while 
I'm ahead and wonder what tomorrow will bring.

Well George,

Here's my latest report. I was looking at my to Miriam folder this evening with 
Magic and its voice, and I noted that BARD sent me an email that The New Yorker 
had arrived and was inserted into my wish list. So, in order to download it, I 
turned on Jaws 18, downloaded the magazine, and transferred it to an SD card 
for my VR Stream. While Jaws was still running, I went back to my to Miriam 
folder in Outlook, and had no problem looking through the list of emails and 
reading some of them. I then sent a second article to the blind democracy list 
and this time, the auto complete  worked beautifully.
The first time, I had to copy the blind democracy address from a document where 
I've stored it because the auto complete wouldn't work. I was sure that if I

In case anyone is interested, the Microsoft Level 2 Disabilities  tech guy was 
unable to solve my Outlook 2016 problem. I am able to write this email because 
Jaws is turned off and I'm using the Magic voice. This allows me to move from 
the inbox to the to Miriam folder and to move through the list of emails and 
open and read them. However, although he emptied out the auto reply and told me 
how to get it to function properly, his directions don't work consistently. 
They worked for this email, I think. We'll see if it gets to the correct place. 
The directions did not work for my blind democracy list. The incorrect address 
was placed in the to field, no matter what I did. The tech thinks there's a 
conflict between Jaws and Outlook 2016, something about the Jaws driver. He's 
sending the problem up to Level three.
Meanwhile, I'm receiving some messages in duplicate. Yesterday, David worked 
with me for hours to try to fix things, and he was unable to do so. The new 
account that he set up in Optimum, apparently wouldn't work because today, with 
Microsoft, I had to go back to the password for the original account. I am so 
grateful for all David's time and patience. I know that I will need him again 
to tidy things up if Microsoft can actually get Outlook to work with Jaws.

 

I would appreciate step by step directions for putting back my permanent blind 
copy field, but pehaps, I'll need to wait to do that until Jaws is working 
again. There are things that the Magic voice can't do.

Miriam,

It sounds as though someone created a "message rule" for your email so that it 
goes to that defective folder. You can delete that rule. Try the
following:

Place focus in a message list next to a message where your name is in the "To" 
line.

Press the applications key, which is between the right-hand Windows and control 
keys.

Arrow down to "Rules submenu." Press enter.

Tab until you hear "Manage rules and alerts..." Press the spacebar here.

Tab again until you hear "Delete." Once again, press the spacebar.

I just went through these steps to make sure they work. However, since I don't 
want to remove any of my existing rules, I couldn't go further. I suggest you 
keep tabbing from there in case there's an "Apply" button. If there is, press 
the spacebar on it. either way, resume tabbing to the Okay button.

I hope you can follow these steps and that they solve this part of your email 
problem.

Miriam,

It sounds as though someone created a "message rule" for your email so that it 
goes to that defective folder. You can delete that rule. Try the following:

Place focus in a message list next to a message where your name is in the "To" 
line.

Press the applications key, which is between the right-hand Windows and control 
keys.

Arrow down to "Rules submenu." Press enter.

Tab until you hear "Manage rules and alerts..." Press the spacebar here.

Tab again until you hear "Delete." Once again, press the spacebar.

I just went through these steps to make sure they work. However, since I don't 
want to remove any of my existing rules, I couldn't go further. I suggest you 
keep tabbing from there in case there's an "Apply" button. If there is, press 
the spacebar on it. either way, resume tabbing to the Okay button.

I hope you can follow these steps and that they solve this part of your email 
problem.

George,

Someone set up the "to Miriam" folder for me. The new emails sent directly to 
me are all going there directly. But emails coming to me through email lists 
that I'm on, are arriving in the inbox. This has always been the setup I've 
had. The problem is that the "to Miriam" folder won't work. When I go to it, it 
closes Outlook. Before Microsoft Disabilities worked on the problem, the inbox 
didn't work either.

Microsoft is having someone from a higher level call back on Monday. Before

Re: [JAWS-Users] Permanent placemarkers

2018-04-21 Thread Adrian Spratt
Yes, it would defeat the object if you set a placemarker and kept text that is 
certain to change.

From this exchange, I hope other listers will have found a few ways to make 
their placemarkers more reliable. When they were introduced many years ago, I 
thought they were one of those new FS features that didn't do much to merit the 
SMA update fee, but they've turned out to be a crucial part of Web navigation 
for me.

Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Permanent placemarkers

Hi Adrian,

Yes, Spanish JAWS versions fill this edit box automatically too, but I usually 
change this automatic text a bit, especially by making deletions.
As an example, in a website in which articles aren't marked with headings nor 
regions, I added a placemarker into the line it tells the estimated reading 
time.
When I first added this placemarker, the automatically generated text included 
the specific time of the article I opened at that time, for example: “Estimated 
reading time: 6 minutes”.
To make the placemarker helpful for all articles, in addition to checking the 
box to apply this placemarker for all pages in the current domain, in the 
automatically generated text I removed everything after the colon.

You surely also keep this in mind when creating a placemarker, but I never 
needed to mark a place in which there is a link to make the placemarker to be 
reliable. The only case in which I had bad experiences was visiting a 
previously placemarked page but using a different web browser than the one used 
when I created the placemarkers. I suppose this is somewhat related to the 
Responsive Web Design about which Freedom Scientific posted on their blog at 
the end of 2017, but I had problems even on very standard HTMLs.

Hope it helps!

Yes, Fernando, and I usually check that box. To add to what you write here, 
when you check the "anchor to text" box, a new tab field appears with the text 
JAWS detects at that location. This is the edit field you refer to, but (as I'm 
sure you know) it isn't blank. You have a choice of keeping  that text or, as 
you suggest, typing in something different. However, I can't quite see why one 
would write something different. Regardless, this "anchor to text" option in 
the dialog can help in maintaining the placemarker but, in my experience, it is 
no guarantee. Even if the Website designer keeps the same text there, I've 
found that a text-associated placemarker isn't necessarily reliable unless it 
is also associated with a link. 

It sounds as though your experience might be different. I wonder, for example, 
if the Spanish version of JAWS doesn't fill in the edit field. 

I should mention that I haven't read anywhere about this link relationship. 
It's just something I noticed over time.

Hi Adrian,

Have you looked at the Associate with Text checkbox? When adding a placemarker 
this checkbox is unchecked by default, so you mark a line in the virtual 
representation instead of a specific text, therefore any small change on the 
page causes the link or whatever unit you have marked to be misslocated.
If you know a string of text that the part you want to mark always have 
regardless of changes, you can check this checkbox, tab once and enter the 
corresponding part of text. By the way, you will always reach the same element 
as long as the string of text you have associated to the placemarker is 
present, no matter of the line number.

Hope it helps!

Based on what I have figured out, the black on black announcement from JAWS is 
not accurate.  Visually it is black on white.  I have not played with actual 
font colors and backgrounds to see how JAWS reports seeing the colors, but I 
have found that using the "highlighter" JAWS accurately reports the highlight 
color and the text as being black.  I wasted a lot of time trying to figure 
this out and got nowhere.  I finally snagged a co-worker who was walking by my

[JAWS-Users] Permanent placemarkers

2018-04-21 Thread Adrian Spratt
Earlier this week, Justin commented that placemarkers don't always hold their 
place, which is true. However, I've found that they are dependable when I put 
them on a link. Sometimes it means putting it a line or two away from a logical 
spot, but I think they've been stable every time I do this.
As a reminder, the dialog to set a permanent placemarker is begun with 
control-shift-k. Tab from there.

[JAWS-Users] JAWS 2018 won't keep focus with IE in some webpages; correction

2018-04-15 Thread Adrian Spratt
I'm really sorry to drag this out, but I just realized I posted the wrong key 
combo for a temporary placemarker in a browser: It's control-Windows key-k.

Thanks, Justin, but the "find" alternative would be too much of a distraction. 
Such tasks need to be as automatic as possible.

The place mmarkerseems like a good work around, also remembering a key word, 
any word in that area, or a short sequence, and using the find feature, control 
f, could laos be used.

Thanks, Patti, you've given me a very constructive workaround, and I'll use it. 
Still, it's an extra step and a distraction. Let's say I'm copying seven items 
of information from different parts of a webpage. With previous versions of 
JAWS, I could rely on focus staying where I'd left it on transferring each item 
to a Word file. This is already a tedious process that requires concentration. 
Your idea will help, but it's still an extra precaution I shouldn't need to 
take based on earlier versions of JAWS. 

Note for anyone following this thread. You can set a temporary placemarker in a 
browser with control-shift-k. As I recall, it is replaced each time you set a 
new one or close the window.

How about using place markers, so when you go back to that page, all you have 
to do is press the letter K.
Patti

I'm referring to the situation where I'm taking information bit by bit from a 
webpage. I need to be able to go back to that page and resume where I left off.

 What I do is make sure my curser is in the upper left hand side at the top.

Hi. We've had an earlier thread on this subject. I've also written and spoken 
to VFO about it, but all they told me was to change certain JAWS quick settings 
that I want to keep for other purposes. I don't need to make these changes when 
using earlier versions of JAWS, which means I spend my day switching between 
versions.

I've just written again to VFO tech support. I'd urge anyone else experiencing 
this problem to do the same because it's a significant flaw.
