Re: [Blind-Computing] a folder in my documents

2011-04-08 Thread Bob J.
kimsan,

If a folder in the "my documents folder " was named "my stationery," I would
guess that it held files to create special letterhead stationery.  However,
you state that the folder in question is named "my stationary" so I couldn't
guess what that is used for.

Hint: "Stationery" refers to writing paper & envelopes and related items
whereas "stationary" refers to items that don't move about.

hth

Bob

I have a folder called my stationary in my documents folder is this
important, if so why?

It has items in there such as: blue tiles.jpg, bubbles.htm etc. I am
assuming they are pictures for my desktop if so desired? So there is no need
to keep this right?

2011-04-08 Thread David
Hello to everyone;

I'm writing this on behalf of a friend.
She's running windows7.
My friend has obtained a Basic/d Braille printer.
Unfortunately,
There was no disc, for drivers and such.
So I did the following;
1, control panel,

2, devices and printers;
3, add printer,
Now, I chose the generic drivers,
The Braille embosser now shos up in the devices and printer.

Now, does anyone no how to set the Duxbury to add this printer?

[Blind-Computing] Question MS Office 2003 and windows 7

2011-04-08 Thread Michael Amaro
Hello Listers,
I have a friend that is running Windows 7 and MS Office 2003.  She says that 
her computer is unusually slow When running MS Office 2003.  She spends along 
time waiting when she is trying to read or edit a document.  Does any one know 
what could be causing this?
Thanks
Michael

Hi,
If you need it for a PC and you have JAWS, I recommend the Focus 40

Re: [Blind-Computing] Moving songs within a winamp playlist

2011-04-08 Thread Matthew C
You should be able to use the jump to command.hit j and then type in a part
of the name of the song you are looking for in the field and find the list
of songs highlight the one you want and then tab to move after current
button and enter or space bar. That should put it after the current song.

Subject: [Blind-Computing] Moving songs within a winamp playlist

Hi.  When I'm in a playlist in Winamp, is there a way I can quickly move a
song to a specific spot rather than just using Alt up and down arrow?  In
other words, is it possible to jump a song directly to the top, or perhaps
to number 13 in the list, etc?

If a song is way down in the list, it takes a long time to Alt arrow up to
move the song, and hopefully there is a faster way available.  I'm using
JAWS11.  Thanks much.
