As someone pretty much forced to switch to JAWS, you won't be resented for posting lots of queries. Besides, other migrants from WindowEyes will also benefit, saving even more posts!! My previous response didn't address every stage of the process because it would take too long to anticipate every question you might have. Please don't hesitate to ask your questions.

Thank you for your help. I just hope being a brand new user of Jaws I am trying to do everything myself before posting so I hope I don't have to ask dozens of questions in the first few weeks and drive everyone on the list crazy. Thanks again.

Open the JAWS settings center with JAWS key+6 (on the number row above the letters). If you want to make your choice in a particular application, such as your email program have that program in focus when you open the settings center. I suggest you do it this way because you may want graphics handled differently in different applications. Then type the word graphics in the edit field that appears when you open the settings center. Down-arrow through the options. If you're unfamiliar with how to work with the settings center, please re-post. On the other items that JAWS reads when you open a message, I believe that question is handled in the JAWS quick settings menu, which you get to with JAWS key+v. In this case, arrow down until you hear a relevant item. I hope this gives you the pointers to solutions. Your unfamiliarity with JAWS may mean you post again, which is fine. People will take you through each part of the problem. I can assure you there are solutions to each one you identify. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of David Crowell Sent: Thursday, July 27, 2017 9:22 PM To: JAWS-Users-List@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] To much info being read on web pages and in email Hi, I just began using Jaws when I migrated from Window Eyes. I have figured how to set most things up but could use a little help with an issue I can't figure out how to correct. When I open a webpage and move around the links I hear the word graphic before the link or Jaws tells me column, row headers and all that stuff. In email when the message opens it announces how many links, tables or headers are in the message and then announces tables and headers as I read the message. This is driving me crazy. I hope someone can tell me how to go about so all the stuff mentioned above is not spoken Thank you, Dave Crowell For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
