Re: [Blind-Computing] JAWS says superscript and spacemarker in Word 2003
Check out your verbosity settings, brought up using jaws key + V, since there are various options in there that might decide whether or not it should announce things like superscript - except that some of these are just characters called that, and whether or not it should announce non-breaking spaces as that, or just as spaces. FWIW, those non-breaking spaces are - I think - typed using something like shift + space, and it means that if a line break occured near there, it wouldn't be implemented between the two words being typed.

[Blind-Computing] jaws 10 and iGoogle with firefox
Hi all. Has anyone noticed that some of the links in iGoogle gadgets in firefox with JAWS 10 don't work when enter or the space bar is presssed? If anyone knows about this, have you found a solution that doesn't involve ditching iGoogle or Firefox? I've really come to rely on this combination. Thanks in advance.

Re: [Blind-Computing] JAWS says superscript and spacemarker in Word 2003
Hi Chris, Try the steps below to stop JAWS from saying superscript. If you don't want Word to use the superscript then you can also do the following: (this is for Word 2003). 1. Open the tools menu with Alt-T. 2. Use the up arrow key to move to the AutoCorrect options menu choice and press enter. 3. Use your tab key to move to the page tabs and then use the right arrow key to move to the auto format as you type page. 4. Use the tab key to move into a list of choices. 5. Use down arrow key to move to the ordinals with superscript choice and uncheck it by using the spacebar. 6. Use the tab key to move to the OK button and press spacebar. The above is only if you want to change the way Word replaces ordinals with the superscript attribute. Hope this helps. Take care.

[Blind-Computing] Image restore quandary
Well the subject says it all. I will try to be as brief below as possible to explain my dilemma and hopefully find a simple answer that I am obviously overlooking. About a month ago I purchased Image For Windows and am thrilled with the program. I have successfully created and restored two different images with no problem. Here is my current dilemma. I have two Acer computers. I'll call them Intel and A M D so as to not confuse them in the below dialogue I'm describing. My primary in home networked computer was the Intel. The A M D computer as well as my wife's worked off this Intel unit. The computer had not been re formatted for about a year and a half and I also wanted to swap it out for the A M D machine which has a faster processor and twice the memory. I know the hours it can take to set a computer up from scratch so I figured I would simply take the hard drive out of the A M D computer and use it to set up the Intel computer as time permitted. The first thing I did was to use the Image for Windows program to create an image of the A M D computer. I then restored that image to confirm it worked prior to taking the hard drive out and using it in the Intel machine. I also created an image of the Intel machine before doing anything just in case something went amuck. I then unplugged the Intel hard drive and plugged the A M D one into that unit. I got the factory restore disks out for the Intel computer and installed them on the A M D hard drive which was now temporarily in the Intel unit. This erased all data on the A M D hard drive and created the factory image of the Intel computer. Everything worked well and I installed JAWS, a few other key programs I wanted and then burned a new image with image for windows to use a starting point from now on with the Intel computer so I did not need to take hours setting it up from scratch again. I then removed the A M D hard drive from the Intel computer and plugged the Intel one back in. The Intel computer booted up fine and picked up from where it left off prior to switching hard drives. I then took the A M D hard drive and put it back in the A M D machine and put the original A M D image I had created prior to starting this project back on it. The A M d computer booted up fine (Just like David said it would) and it was if nothing had ever changed. Now, for the dilemma. I wanted to put the new image I created on the Intel machine on the Intel hard drive to in essence have a new, freshly formatted computer. The image will not go on that hard drive. What happens is I put the initial disk in the it boots just like it is supposed to. The tray comes out and asks for the last disk of the set. I put that in, the DVD whirs for a minute and then the tray comes out and asks for the first disk again. When I put this back in I do not get the dialogue asking for the Y or N to proceed and put that image on the hard drive. It goes back to a basic screen saying boot device cannot be found, press enter to continue. When I do this the same process repeats but I never can get anywhere. I thought there may be something wrong with the Intel machine so I took the hard drive out and put it in the A M D machine (unplugging the A M D hard drives) to try on that machine which I know works and same thing happened. I have even deleted all partitions on the Intel hard drive and created and formatted new ones to emulate a new hard drive and same out come as above. Anyone have a solution as to how I can get the image I made with image for windows on that Intel hard drive? thanks Al For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/

I also created an image of the Intel machine before doing anything just in case something went amuck. I then unplugged the Intel hard drive and plugged the A M D one into that unit. I got the factory restore disks out for the Intel computer and installed them on the A M D hard drive which was now temporarily in the Intel unit. This erased all data on the A M D hard drive and created the factory image of the Intel computer. Everything worked well and I installed JAWS, a few other key programs I wanted and then burned a new image with image for windows to use a starting point from now on with the Intel computer so I did not need to take hours setting it up from scratch again. I then removed the A M D hard drive from the Intel computer and plugged the Intel one back in. The Intel computer booted up fine and picked up from where it left off prior to switching hard drives. I then took the A M D hard drive and put it back in the A M D machine and put the original A M D image I had created prior to starting this project back on it. The A M d computer booted up fine (Just like David said it would) and it was if nothing had ever changed. Now, for the dilemma. I wanted to put the new image I created on the Intel machine on the Intel hard drive to in essence have a new, freshly formatted computer. The image will not go on that hard drive. What happens is I put the initial disk in the it boots just like it is supposed to. The tray comes out and asks for the last disk of the set. I put that in, the DVD whirs for a minute and then the tray comes out and asks for the first disk again. When I put this back in I do not get the dialogue asking for the Y or N to proceed and put that image on the hard drive. It goes back to a basic screen saying boot device cannot be found, press enter to continue. When I do this the same process repeats but I never can get anywhere. I thought there may be something wrong with the Intel machine so I took the hard drive out and put it in the A M D machine (unplugging the A M D hard drives) to try on that machine which I know works and same thing happened. I have even deleted all partitions on the Intel hard drive and created and formatted new ones to emulate a new hard drive and same out come as above. Anyone have a solution as to how I can get the image I made with image for windows on that Intel hard drive? thanks Al 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/

I was able to do this but mostly it was luck. Even if set to the graphical view, routing Jaws to things was a dubious process. There is an alternative however. You may want to check out Diskpart. You can run diskpart from the commandline and you would type select disk 1 create partition primary to add a partition to that disk. Select chooses a disk to work on, detail disk gives you info on the selected disk. Many other useful commands are available.

David, Thanks, I'll spare you the long version (ha, ha). A simple way to sum all this up would be say I have a good image on a DVD and my current hard drive bites the dust.

I will try to be as brief below as possible to explain my dilemma and hopefully find a simple answer that I am obviously overlooking. About a month ago I purchased Image For Windows and am thrilled with the program. I have successfully created and restored two different images with no problem. Here is my current dilemma. I have two Acer computers. I'll call them Intel and A M D so as to not confuse them in the below dialogue I'm describing. My primary in home networked computer was the Intel. The A M D computer as well as my wife's worked off this Intel unit. The computer had not been re formatted for about a year and a half and I also wanted to swap it out for the A M D machine which has a faster processor and twice the memory. I know the hours it can take to set a computer up from scratch so I figured I would simply take the hard drive out of the A M D computer and use it to set up the Intel computer as time permitted. The first thing I did was to use the Image for Windows program to create an image of the A M D computer. I then restored that image to confirm it worked prior to taking the hard drive out and using it in the Intel machine. I also created an image of the Intel machine before doing anything just in case something went amuck. I then unplugged the Intel hard drive and plugged the A M D one into that unit. I got the factory restore disks out for the Intel computer and installed them on the A M D hard drive which was now temporarily in the Intel unit.

I then removed the A M D hard drive from the Intel computer and plugged the Intel one back in. The Intel computer booted up fine and picked up from where it left off prior to switching hard drives. I then took the A M D hard drive and put it back in the A M D machine and put the original A M D image I had created prior to starting this project back on it. The A M d computer booted up fine (Just like David said it would) and it was if nothing had ever changed. Now, for the dilemma.

Hi Bill, What I do is make all of the folders which have rules directing mail to them to be a subfolder of the Inbox. By doing this, I do not need to arrow past the other standard folders like Deleted Items, and Sent Items. I do have other folders for storing important mail, which are subfolders of Local Folders just like Inbox, Sent Items, and Deleted Items.
