hello; once you enter on the browse button, now you shift+tab until you hear pictures, most likely you have landed in the user folder, so, if you use the down arrow you should find my documents, or documents, here you could press enter. now, simply tab you should be placed into the document lists of files. however, here's an easier way,
1, navigate to where your resume is saved. highlight the file, do not press enter on the file, 2, press shift+f10, or, you could press shift+applications key, up arrow and enter on, copy as path, note, when you use the up arrow you will hear copy first, ignore this and up arrow to copy as path. now when you go to the browse button, press enter, and in the file name edit field just paste from clipboard, you should see, location/file name. now you can continue the process. hope this helps. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Jason Smith Sent: Friday, January 9, 2015 6:32 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] having trouble using Jaws to change folder to look in so as to attach a file Hi I am using windows7 home premium. When I shift tab beck into the list like you suggest, I am only presented with: libraries. homegroup, computer and network. And all of these are closed. I have had a look in each, but are confused as to what to do from here. Do you have any more suggestions?
