Whew!!! Loads of great info Keep Smiling, Janie Degenshein Happiness isn't having what you want, but wanting what you already have Access Tech Consultant Facilitator of ECHO (Eyes Closed Hearts Open) President, National Federation of the Blind of New Jersey Senior Division Co-host of OTBS On The Bright Side www.thruoureyes.org/brightside.html jdege...@comcast.net -Original Message- From: David Ferrin Sent: Sunday, December 04, 2011 12:38 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] daily tip for the last several days I'm a bit behind, so hang in there for the following tips: Daily Tip: Excel: Add A Check Mark (Fast) You can insert a check mark into a spreadsheet via the Symbols menu, but a fast way to do it is to select Wingdings (from the Font menu on the Home tab of the Ribbon), press the ALT key, and type 0252. Note that you must use the number pad. Another hint: scrolling all the way to Wingdings in the Font menu is a pain. Instead, click it and then type wi. You're there: Press ENTER and your cursor returns to the page with the Wingdings font. *** Daily Tip: Word: Add A Check Mark Check mark symbols are easy to insert in Microsoft Word 2010. Click the Insert tab on the Ribbon and then click Symbol. When the menu appears, click More Symbols. When the Symbol window appears, click the drop-down menu next to Font and then select Wingdings. Use the scroll bar to the right of the symbols to scroll down until you see the check mark symbols. (They're at the bottom of the list, in our experience.) Click the symbol you want, click the Insert button, and click close. Your check mark is there. *** Daily Tip: PowerPoint: Automatic Slide Advance Presenters commonly advance slides by clicking with a mouse. If you'd like the slides in PowerPoint 2010 to advance automatically after a period of time, click the slide you'd like to change and then click the Transitions tab (in the Ribbon). Next, check the After box under Advance Slide in the Ribbon's Timing group. At this point, you can use the Up and Down arrows to select the length the slide should run. (You can also enter the time via your keyboard keys and then press the ENTER key.) *** Daily Tip: Excel: Add A Chart Title With Chart Layout The Chart Layout feature is one way to easily add a title to your chart in Microsoft Office Excel 2010. Click your chart to make the Chart Tools tab section (which includes Design, Layout, and Format tabs) appear on the Ribbon. Click the Design tab (if it isn't already selected) and then find the Chart Layouts group. Click Quick Layout and then choose a layout that has titles in the places you want them. Finally, click the title to enter new text.

Re: [JAWS-Users] daily tip
But how often should you defrag your hard drive? There is a lot of controversy on this issue. In the old days when hard drives were much smaller, it was necessary to defrag fairly frequently. But today's high capacity drives probably require less frequent defragging. I have read that some experts even question the value of defragging at all, arguing that it results in little improvement in computer performance and subjects the drive to unnecessary wear and tear that can shorten its life. I really don't think it is necessary for most home users to defrag more often than once every two or three months , although some other list members might beg to differ. Any thoughts?

Re: [JAWS-Users] daily tip
I pretty much agree with Gerald. Back in the day, I would defrag my hard drive regularly, especially when I had everything on one partition. Now that my drives are little used, I mean, some of the partitions are less than 25% used, I defrag much less often. On my system partition, and programs partition, I rarely defrag because I don't do a lot of installing and uninstalling of programs and such, so the data on those partitions don't change all that much. No need to make the drive work for no reason. I've also read that defragging on solid state drives is actually detrimental to the drive. Not that I have a solid state drive as a system drive. Although, that would be nice. Now, on my data partition, where there is a lot of data migration, new files coming in, old files being deleted, I defrag that more often. But more importantly than defragging is general clean-up. Dumping cookies, temp files, blah blah blah. Anyway, that's my two cents worth. -- Blue skies. Dan Rossi Carnegie Mellon University.

Re: [JAWS-Users] daily tip
Defragging is available for any drive. Unless you delete a lot of programs and large files, defragging isn't necessary on a frequent basis. You need to balance the benefit of slightly quicker file access on a defragged disk against the extra disk activity generated by the defrag process. The reason why defragging isn't recommended as often on an SSD disk is that the solid-state disks have a limited number of read/rewrite cycles. Also, the more read/write cycles you do, the amount of time that the floating gate transistors will store data is reduced. Since you don't have the seek time of a head searching for magnetic data on a hard disk platter with a solid-state drive, I see very little reason to ever defrag them. For more info on solidstate drive design and data storage, see http://www.linux-mag.com/id/7590/ - The main vice of capitalism is the uneven distribution of prosperity.

Re: [JAWS-Users] daily tip
Hi Alan Gerald, Yes, the Auslogics program does a much more thorough job when it comes to cleaning / defragmenting the registry. Personally, I feel it does a much better job performing all the tasks that the program provides. I run the Paid for program, it is $50.00 per year can be run on 3 machines. The paid for version comes with a lot tools that I haven't tried, just because I don't completely understand what all they will do. The tools I use the most are, Boost Speed, which consists of a scanning process that defragments your harddrives, cleans / defrags the registry, cleans other fascits that I'm not going to bore you with but, are common cleaning processes. In the Boost Speed, you can also Erase browser history, Erase Windows history, Cleanup temporary files, Optimize memory. These jobs/ tasks are all run separately. The scanning repair process that I spoke of earlier is also part of the Boost Speed portion of the program is a separate task from the other 4 tasks'. Below is a list of other Tools included with the program that are run individually; Disk Maintenance / Cleanup. Disk Maintenance / Defragment. Disk Maintenance / Repair disks. Registry Maintenance / Repair. Registry Maintenance / Defragment. Free Up Space / Remove duplicates. Free Up Space / Explore disks. System Status / System information. System Status / Tasks. System Status / Services. System Status / Locked Files. Software Control / Startup items. Software Control / Installed software. Privacy / Erase history. Privacy / Shred files. Privacy / Wipe disks. System Tweaks / System tweaks. System Tweaks / Optimize Services. Speed Up Internet / Automatic. Speed Up Internet / Manual optimization. Disaster Recovery / File Recovery. Disaster Recovery / Rescue Center . Many of these tools I haven't tried because I have read about them how they work but, I really like the Tools I have tried do use. Take care.

Re: [JAWS-Users] daily tip
Hi Gerald, How often disk defragmentation is needed will vary from user to user, depending on how much deletion has taken place. Since it is such a huge debate, I will just say that I follow a weekly maintenance routine, which includes disk cleanup, defrag, security scans, and file backup. I do find that maintenance takes less time to run when it is done on a more frequent basis, which works well for me, since I have multiple machines to maintain.

There is a lot of controversy on this issue. In the old days when hard drives were much smaller, it was necessary to defrag fairly frequently. But today's high capacity drives probably require less frequent defragging. I have read that some experts even question the value of defragging at all, arguing that it results in little improvement in computer performance and subjects the drive to unnecessary wear and tear that can shorten its life. I really don't think it is necessary for most home users to defrag more often than once every two or three months , although some other list members might beg to differ. Any thoughts?

Re: [JAWS-Users] Daily tip
Alex, Simple enough. Press Win + b to get to System Tray. Move around with left and right arrow till you land on the clock. Bring Jaws cursor to PC cursor by pressing Ins + - on your keypad if using desktop, (I forgot what the key stroke was for laptop) and just right-click there without moving Jaws cursor or anything. That's all. Hope it helps.

Re: [JAWS-Users] daily tip
Well Graham was just letting you know that has to be spoon fed computer instructions. As far as being a computer user Graham i think more instruction or reading on how to use computers will help. Because he will learn that its a sighted world and that is how directions are done. We as blind people have to make those types of conversions all the time even with the simple stuff.

Re: [JAWS-Users] daily tip
there is an application I'm using, I got it for free from somewhere (try googling it) called USB Safely Remove it puts an application in the start menu and when you activate it brings up a list of any USB devices plugged into your machine it also has a set of menu's, the first is actions in which you can disconnect, reconnect, and a few other options to use and I have never had it fail to properly disconnect something when I told it to do so! I use it with jaws with no real problem the only flaw I have found with it is that it tends to interpret any second or third drive type device as the same type as the first one I plug in. I.E. if I plug in a Kingston thumb drive, then a external Hitachi hard drive it will call both of them Kingston thumb drives, although it will mark the first as drive f and the second as drive g so you can figure out which is actually witch and reverse, if I plug in the Hitachi first both are called Hitachi drive though with the drive letter differentiation as above noted. give it a try, as I said its a freebee (it may have come from http://www.freedownloadaday.com/) take care, elf .

That should work but if it doesn't then you can try either of the following: In windows explorer highlight the drive, hit the applications key and select eject or something like that.

Re: [JAWS-Users] daily tip
It would seem that the eject option at least for me only applies to flash drives and not to external hard drives. I don't have anything called elements either, so my best guess would be to reboot your system when you wish to disconnect your USB drive.
