[JAWS-Users] JAWS and Onboard sound cards

2007-11-13 Thread First Christian Reformed Church
I'm getting ready to buy a new computer. On previous machines I found it necessary to install a separate sound card to handle JAWS, since the onboard sound cards didn't seem to be adequate. I'm guessing that with the demands of newer computer games manufacturers have upgraded the onboard sound

I am using a Bluetooth headset and audio adapter with the Pac Mate, but it would surely work with a desktop too. I'm using the Jabra brand, but I expect others would work as well. The Bluetooth audio adapter plugs into the audio out port and then pairs with the headset. Blessings, Tom Visit the

Freedom Scientific has told me in the past to uninstall the previous version of JAWS before putting a new version on my computer. This does not affect authorization because that is stored in a different place. If you have authorized a previous version, the new one will be authorized without

I make it very simple. When I stop reading I insert a string of 2 or 3 asterisks, then do a word search for that when I come back to it. Blessings, Tom Visit the JAWS Users List home page at: http://www.jaws-users.com Address for the list archives:

[JAWS-Users] RE switching columns in word

2007-09-08 Thread First Christian Reformed Church
There is a command for this, which I don't know, so I don't have a direct answer to your question, but a different approach. If you switch to Normal View, under the View menu, you avoid the necessity of having to switch columns. The word displays your document as if it is all one column. I think

Re: [JAWS-Users] Reading PDF and Adobe 8

If you are saying Adobe 8 doesn't work with JAWS, I have not found that to be true. I'm using Adobe 8 and have been reading pdf documents without a problem. It's a little difficult to sort out on the website to download Adobe 8. But once you have in downloaded and go through the installation it

In the past I've had issues with inadequate onboard sound cards in my desktop. Is that a problem with laptops where sound cards are always onboard, or are current laptops able to handle what JAWS throws at it? Is there anything specific I should look for in a lap top? Tom Vos Visit the JAWS Users
