You sure can. Go to your deleted items folder, select the email in question, then hit CTRL shift V then move the message to your inbox or whever you want it.

I have a dial-up connection and belong to several mailing lists. Lately, one of them have been sending attachments and I keep geting the timeout error in Outlook Express. I tried adjusting the time in the accounts menu to no avail. What I would like to do is search my inbox online for the messages that contains the attachments and delete or download them manually. I tried typing several search strings in the search message box, but came up empty handed. Could someone provide some pointers, probably a search string that has worked where I could go on the server and search for those large messages. Thanks in advance for any help that is offered.

[Blind-Computing] Why are document settings changing?
Hi All, Has anybody else run into this problem? I like to have my settings for my documents set in print view and the zoom set at 75%. After a few days I will go back to particular documents in My Documents, open a document, go to the view menu and the settings are changed to normal view and the zoom will be at 100 or 200%. I will make the corrections and save them then, I can go back to the same documents a few days later and the settings have changed. Can anybody tell me why this is happening or what is making this happen? I have been told that this is not a Jaws problem by Freedom Scientific's tech support and as you all know the zoom setting effects the way Jaws reads. I am running Xp SP3/Office 2002 home, Jaws 8, 9, & 10 latest. All advice and information will be greatly appreciated. Thanks much. Take care.

Re: [Blind-Computing] selecting messages In OE
Michael, Try this instead. Hold down the control key. And as you arrow down, tap the space bar on all the messages you want to move. Then once you've selected all the messages, hit control shift V and move them wherever you want to put them.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Window Eyes Dilemma
Really? I thought you blokes in the UK were so much more progressive than us here in the states. But, yes, state rehab agencies will cover the cost of talking computers and other adaptive equipment if an eligible blind person needs it to pursue educational or vocational goals. It varies from state to state, and not everyone qualifies for such government largesse.

It sounds like a great deal. My Dell has only 2 gig of ram but I usually find that enough to run many programs at the same time so 4 gig would be heaven. 250 gig hard drive is pretty good,too. I only have 125 so keep all my talking books and such on an external hard drive instead. I got my Dell over a year ago and still love it. I have also used Acer and Hewlit Packard. The Dell comes with a regular Ethernet port as well as the wireless capability. The feature I like best about my Dell is the manual switch that can turn off the wireless access so I feel safer leaving it on during the night to do the virus scans and backups and such. I always carry an external keyboard with me when I travel because I am too lazy to learn the laptop keyboard. I also like being able to put the external keyboard on the lower level of the desk to make it easier on my back since I use it for hours at a time. To sign on to the Internet with wireless is easy or automatic after the first time you do it in a new location. I do have to admit that Dell has its own system of signing on the first time that is more difficult than just using the regular "Connect to" in the Windows operating system. I think that I just need to learn exactly what to do to get connected. Dell does give you a year of excellent support and warranty but even though I had them guide me through connecting to my wireless network I forgot to make notes for the future. In fact if any other Dell users would give me the step by step instructions I would be grateful. I would love to be able to use the regular Windows wireless connection dialog since it is so easy. I do know it is not recommended now to sit a laptop directly on your lap to use it without something to raise it up and allow the fan vents to function properly. Sherrie - Original Message - From: "Maria Campbell" To: Sent: Wednesday, February 18, 2009 10:59 PM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] an old computer user with a few questionsaboutlaptops As others have said, the biggest thing to get used to on a laptop is the keyboard. JAWS hotkey commands can be different as well. I get around that by using an external keyboard, though I can use the one on the laptop if necessary. I like my Toshiba with built-in wireless capability, though wireless cards can be purchased if not built in.

Re: [Blind-Computing] an old computer user with a few questionsaboutlaptops
I would grab the Dell quickly. It sounds like a great deal. My Dell has only 2 gig of ram but I usually find that enough to run many programs at the same time so 4 gig would be heaven. 250 gig hard drive is pretty good,too. I only have 125 so keep all my talking books and such on an external hard drive instead. I got my Dell over a year ago and still love it. I have also used Acer and Hewlit Packard. The Dell comes with a regular Ethernet port as well as the wireless capability. The feature I like best about my Dell is the manual switch that can turn off the wireless access so I feel safer leaving it on during the night to do the virus scans and backups and such. I always carry an external keyboard with me when I travel because I am too lazy to learn the laptop keyboard. I also like being able to put the external keyboard on the lower level of the desk to make it easier on my back since I use it for hours at a time. To sign on to the Internet with wireless is easy or automatic after the first time you do it in a new location. I do have to admit that Dell has its own system of signing on the first time that is more difficult than just using the regular "Connect to" in the Windows operating system. I think that I just need to learn exactly what to do to get connected. Dell does give you a year of excellent support and warranty but even though I had them guide me through connecting to my wireless network I forgot to make notes for the future. In fact if any other Dell users would give me the step by step instructions I would be grateful. I would love to be able to use the regular Windows wireless connection dialog since it is so easy. I do know it is not recommended now to sit a laptop directly on your lap to use it without something to raise it up and allow the fan vents to function properly.

Another option would be to buy the program Omnipage. I don't have it, but a friend does. It costs around $150. Still not cheap, but cheaper than the nearly $1,000 for Open book.

Hi Lisa, I have the same Open Book and Word versions as you. The Scan for Open Book feature is not available in Word 2007 unless you upgrade to Open Book 8. But there's still an easy way you can scan the letter and save it as a Word document. Follow these steps: 1. Scan the letter using Open Book as you normally would. 2. Go to the Open Book File menu, arrow down to Save As and hit Enter. 3. Type a name for the file you are about to save into the File Name edit field. 4. Tab to the Files of Type combo box and arrow down three times to "WordWin6,7,8*.doc" This will assign the .doc file extension to your file so that it can be opened as a Word document. 5. Now tab to the Look In combo box and arrow up to Desktop. Tab once to My Documents,select it and hit Enter. 6. Finally, tab to the Save button and hit Space. Your letter will be saved in My Documents as a Word file which can be opened in Word using the normal Control-O command, or by selecting it from My Documents. HTH.

Would I half to scan it with Openbook in order to save it as a MS word document, or is there a way to scan it with MS word? I have Openbook 7.02, and MS word 2007 on my computer. If anyone can tell me how to do this, or if this can be done I would really appreciate it! I'm running windows XP home addition with Jaws 10.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Window Eyes Dilemma
Your best course of action would be to decide which of the two screen readers you want to keep, and get rid of the other one. Why do you need both JAWS and Window Eyes on the same system? I am surprised that a state rehab agency would spend almost $2000 of taxpayer money on two screen readers for the same system, when one would be perfectly adequate. No wonder there's an economic crisis in this country. If you need a back-up screen reader to either JAWS or Window Eyes, you might consider NVDA, which is free and pretty usable. Gerald - Original Message - From: "Mauricio Molina" To: Sent: Wednesday, February 18, 2009 10:43 PM Subject: [Blind-Computing] Window Eyes Dilemma Hello To All, Obviously, I was hoping someone on this list might be able to assist me. I am currently setting up a brand new Dell Optiplex Desktop system. It is a Vista Home Premium 32 bit system and as of yet, there is no antivirus installed. I have also disabled UAC until I get all the software installed. And therein lies the rub: I've successfully installed JAWS 10, MAGic 11, and ZoomText 9.4, but when I tried installing Window Eyes 7.01, there is some sort of conflict. By the way, this is not my system, the State rehabilitation agency purchased it for one of their consumers and I am simply expected to set it up. I admit I am a JAWS user so I enlisted Window Eyes tech support to assist me in the installation. One of their agents, whose name I prefer not to mention, helped me make the correct choices during the installation process. Yet after the installation was complete and the system was rebooted, all there was on the screen was black with the white mouse pointer in the center of the screen. I've already stated that I am a JAWS user so to say that I am visually impaired would be redundant. Still, I have enough remaining vision to make the previous observation. When I asked the GW Micro tech support to comment on the problem, the only thing he had to offer was that it may be a video driver issue and the drivers may need to be updated. I do not understand how this could be the case as the system is brand spanking new with an upgraded ATI HD 2400 Pro Graphics card. I asked whether there were any known issues with having so many other assistive technologies installed on one computer or if there was a particular order in which they needed to be installed. The answer was no to both questions. Fortunately, before installing any software, I create System Restore points. So, with sighted assistance, I booted into safe mode and put the system back to before the Window Eyes installation and all was well. I then called GW Micro tech support again and spoke with another tech. I told him of my experience and all he had to add was that there was a conflict. Duh! Unfortunately, they offered no further assistance. So, what I would like to know is, does anyone have any ideas of which course of action I should follow next. I may, just for the heck of it, update the graphics card driver, but if that does not work, what then? In fact, I have never yet had to update a video card driver so I am not even sure of the process though I imagine I can figure that one out. But if anyone would like to provide some advice, I would be very grateful. Sorry for the long post.

[Blind-Computing] Firefox 3.0.6 & configuring it to work well with JAWS
Are there any settings within Firefox 3.0.6 that I need to change in order for it to work much better with JAWS 10? Not sure if I need to make any changes but wants to be sure. I will check Freedom Scientific's website too. Thank you.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Scanning and saving a document to my computer
Hi I noticed that when I scan a document on my vista system that I rarely get the page numbers included in my document. Since I am scanning text books it is important to get the page numbers. What can I do to get the scanner, vista, and or computer to include the page numbers? I am feeling frustrated. I have tried three OCR programs with the same results. I would appreciate any advice.

I think other folks have talked about it on this list, some like it, some don't. I happen to love it. It's called Text Cloner Pro and you can find it at: http://www.readingmadeez.com/home.html You hit one button to scan, and it automatically puts it into a .doc format. You can then save it just as you would a normal Microsoft document. And unlike Open Book, it is designed specifically to work with JAWS. So, no having to turn JAWS off to use the program's internal voice. I think the program cost about $100. Much less then Open Book. Again, I love it, but maybe some others on the list that have tried it can give you their opinion. I use it almost every day to scan mail, faxes, and things like that. Oh, and it has a copy feature also. So if you need to make a copy of something, it will print it out on your printer. It's just like using a copier machine. This may not be something you are interested in, but I thought I'd throw it out there for the info. Good luck.
