Hi Dewald,
Just to add to what Chris said I'll address your question about using
the mouse. Window-Eyes is, at least to my knowledge, the most powerful
screen-reader regarding mouse control.
Probably the best way to get started is to take a look at the mouse hot
key reference in the manual.
Open the Window-Eyes control panel with Control+Backslash.
Alt+H Help. You'll come in on Documentation.
Just cursor right or hit Enter to expand it and you'll be on Manual. Hit
Enter to open the CHM manual.
Press H to jump to Hot key reference and Enter or cursor right to expand it.
Choose the keyboard layout you're using and browse through the list of
hot keys.
When using the default layout the numeric entry pad is more or less your
mouse pad, and you can do almost as much as a sighted person with it.
And when you're not sure of a command, use NumPad-Insert+1 - 1 being
that above the keyboard, not on the NumPad - to activate and deactivate
the key describer. When it's active you'll get a description of whatever
key combination you press.
And finally, regarding using the actual mouse? Window-Eyes will speak
whatever you move the mouse over as well as button clicks. Other than
that, I'm not sure what else you'd want to know about playing with the
little rodent. grin.
Regards,
Tom

Hi list. My name is Dewald.
I found out about the MSOffice GW Micro thing a few days ago.
I have been playing around with the program.
Just have a few questions:
Is there a way to change the pitch of a capatal letter? And a way to
stop the speach talking with pauses in between each word when this
feature is enabled?
Sounds like you are using Microsoft speech platform. It looks like
there is an issue with Microsoft speech Platform that pauses the
speech between words when screen pitch is enabled.
Might I suggest the cap beeper app.
This will beep when a capital letter is encountered.
Press Windows-G and when the list populates press control-f to find and
type in cap. Cap Beeper will be one of the choices. Tab to install and
press enter. Follow the prompts.
I am running Thunderbird, and every time the window has focuss, i hear
this thunder sound, an three tweets from a bird. Is there a way to
disable this feature?
It's cute, but it's driving me crazy now.
Does anyone suggest i move over to Outlook?
To disable the sound Press control-backslash to bring up Window-eyes
control panel.
Press alt-a for the apps menu.
Press T for Thunderbird enhanced.
Press up arrow one time and you should find an option called "play tone
when keys are ready. Press enter and the Thunder birds will not play.
Is there a specific internet browser that works really well with WE,
or doesn't it matter?
Internet Explorer and Firefox. Chrome will not work.
Anyone have any success using the mouse navigation? and even the
physical mouse?
I am amazed about the many apps one gets!
This screen reader works like a dream!
Thank you,
Dewald.
